Hot Pot For One
It’s mostly about loneliness, very, very short, and easy to misunderstand. By most standards, it would be barely a game at all. But if you don’t have expectations this thingy never tried to meet, it is kinda… nice. You stand in the kitchen, cook, eat, and for every piece you eat, memories start floating up, showing how food connects you to people, mostly your significant other. You eat rather little, clean up a bit and watch the end titles. There are no other people, no movement, no action, and if you were depressed to start with, you are not going to feel less depressed. But you may recognize the feeling.

The good:
-
Nice atmosphere
-
Music is sweet
The bad:
-
Boring as hell
-
Story isn’t worth it because there is none.
-
Art made for the “memories” you get when you eat a piece of food are just crudely drawn stickmen.

All that stuff in the fridge and cupoards? You can’t touch it. I was expecting to have the ability to get silly and pour coke into my hotpot. Nope.
You turn it on, put stuff in it that doesn’t burn (so it’s no fun), eat only a set number of food from it that makes you think about ugly stickmen, put a tiny amount away in a large fridge and then dump over 150 food items into the bin.

Hot Pot VR
I bought this game based on some of the reviews, but I will start off by saying this is THE BEST VR cooking game on the market, if you’re into simulation with a little bit of arcade. It reminds me of when I was in kindergarten playing with one of those life-sized toy kitchens with my classmates.
It’s not as intricate/frustrating as Cooking SImulator can be, but still PLENTY of recipes, ingredients and cooing techniques to keep you busy in EA. This is early access but it really is varied with lots of different recipes from all over the globe and feels satisfying in VR. I haven’t had it that long and the dev has made some QoL improvements thus far and I’m sure it’ll only get better. I highly recommend this game if you like Cooking Simulator and Overcooked.

Amazing idea, near amazing execution (so far). Now, I know it is an Early Access game, but sometimes it can be a bit weird. Sometimes, when cutting a piece of meat for example, it will have a really small piece I can cut, but the biggest piece is not possible to cut. Other than small nitpicks like that, this game is amazingly built and can only go up from here.
