Retro Classix: Super BurgerTime
I love being able to play classic games from the past with all the unconstrained ability to feed coins in without loosing all my pocket money. Ladder mazes and angry food never saw it coming!

I’m a big fan of many of the 80’s era classics and I’ve sunk hours of my life playing the original Burger Time at this point, but I always wanted more stages to play. Now, this one was in the arcades and I never had the chance to try it, but honestly, it’s not really Burger Time, but something that uses the general aesthetics.
SBT is… it’s chaos. Ruthless, distracting, quarter munching chaos. Gone is the methodical charm of the original and planning out your paths. SBT just throws overwhelming numbers of very random enemies that don’t necessarily even follow the food theme (hammers, vultures, lighters… huh?) alongside a metric ton of annoying opponents that are food, but have a way of cheesing you to death, instead of punishing you for planning a path badly. They respawn rapidly, tend to out pace you easily, and they can even make it borderline impossible to get out of your spawning position. Some stages remind me more of zombie swarms than anything else.

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.

Tiny Devil Adventure
Take Tiny Devil on his adventure to recover his beloved Brenda from the evil Octodevil.
Featuring
-
Procedurally generated levels add variety to each game, with the option of controlling which level created.
-
Unique cooking system with over 16 million recipes to aid you on your travels.
-
Secrets hidden across the lands provide clues to the recipes for the ten legendary condiments.
-
Many unique, multi-stage bosses to battle.
Great rogue-lite platforming action with a permanent upgrade system, unique enemies and a great love story with a twist.
If you only buy one game this year, there are probably hundreds of games with multi-million dollar production budgets that you should consider. If you buy more than one, then consider Tiny Devil Adventure, a game produced with love, a sense of humour and not quite the correct pre-requisite amount of sanity.

Lovely Kitchen
Lucky me gets to write the first review for Lovely Kitchen.
Lovely Kitchen is an asset/template flip, that is to say, it’s a “game” that has been produced by copying a game template from GameMaker Studio, changing a few things, then dumping the barely functional “product” on Steam as a cheap, nasty cash grab. In this case it was a GameMaker Studio template for doing a simple action puzzle game where you must rotate around a series of circles (donut themed in this case) and jump between them to get to the exit. The template was written by NicolaiGD and he’s selling it on the Yoyogames marketplace as “Advanced Planet Platformer”.

Battle Chef Brigade Deluxe
“…no one is born a great cook, one learns by doing.”
~Julia Child
Let’s admit it, the times when mixing tile-matching puzzles with RPG elements felt fresh and cool are long gone. Not only it’s hard to surprise people with yet another “Puzzle Quest”, when you see something like that today? It’s like “Good grief, not another one…”. Battle Chef Brigade, though? Let’s just say that this game is special. Very, very special. But I’m getting ahead of myself.

I like this game because it is different form any other game I played. You get to play with different characters and each one has their own story, but they are all part of the main story of the game. I like the combat of the game when you go on adventures looking for ingredients and fighting all kinds of monster to get them all. You also get to choose your equipment for your character and each one has different things that makes your character better. The cooking and how you cook is different and I found it cool how they use a match-3 mini-game to make your dishes, so it is much different from how you do it in the Overcooked games which I also liked. I like finding all kinds of ingredients to cook different foods. The game graphics look really nice like a Disney anime mix and the food looks so good…but I would never eat it knowing where it comes from. I guess it makes sense in their world but it’s weird in real life.

Dungeon Munchies
So, first off, don’t pay attention to the fact I have 27 hours on this game. That was because I left it on during the night and most of the day by accident. My playthrough itself was around 6 hours, and mind you we’re talking with collecting all hidden recipes, seeing all the dialogue and going for 100% completion. And I must say, it was a great experience.
Let’s start off with my shorter list - grievances. It mostly boils down to two things - the music, while pretty well-suited for the scenes and stages it was accompanying, was mostly forgetful. The one track I can remember is the whistling tune that plays before and after you fight the first boss, in the stage you fight him at.

Normally like to log more time to have more to say about this game, but the sale I got it on is only going on for like another 14 hours, and it’s good enough I feel it deserves a plug while it’s running.
Game seems really really great so far. It’s “core” graphics are low res to a degree I’m not even sure I’d call them charming (like don’t expect Dead Cells or something) and I’m mildly concerned about the difficulty curve going forward, but… I can’t really even think of any other complaints? Aside from a couple translation gaffs (and honestly, not many… it’s pretty impressively well-translated considering I’m guessing the team aren’t native English speakers… even the humor comes through well), the story is a mix of legitimately clever tongue in cheek humor with a surprisingly decent amount of characterization… like it’s rather minimalist so far, but a lot of bang for your buck, as it were. Likewise while the “gameplay” graphics are a bit “meh”, the animation is fairly fluid with solid hitboxes etc, and the cut scene portraits are very well done… Simmer’s plethora of images in particular are very amusing and cute, plentiful and good quality in concept and execution. The music/sound is a bit utilitarian, but not bad at all.
