A well designed DLC and enjoyable progression. The problem is that it relies heavily on cutting things into certain size pieces which is nothing short of infuriating. I enjoyed it at first, but as I got more recipes with annoying cutting requirements it just ruined the experience. Also trying to pour 5ml of liquid is annoying as well. At home I use a measuring cup so if I pour too much I can correct it. In game I have to use the mouse and time it right or get gotcha’d. I hate the cutting, and the physics can be annoying when you are moving around with plates and things fly off or bang into the wall. Gameplay that relies on the cutting mechanic ruins this DLC. The Pizza DLC was such a nice step forward, this one would be as well if the cutting was changed or removed.

World End Diner
I wanted to rush my review because I do think this game is really good, and it deserved a thumbs up to help! However, I wanted to return to this review to give it a proper analysis for people who are on the edge of purchasing this game;
1. The gameplay loop is very fun and simple. The core of the game consists of gathering/farming/buying materials in order to cook for the animals in the forest. You will unlock more ingredients as you go, and while this is a slow proccess (Ive been playing for 3 Days and -just- unlocked alchemy) it feels appropriate.

Kitchen Simulator 2
(Got this game for free via dev submission to SteadyGiveaways. Thanks!)
Trailer makes it look good, gameplay gets boring and fast!
Kitchen Simulator 2 is a simple game about gathering food and serving it up…not exactly cooking stuff. Some people want pizzas, others want half avacados, and some idiots want a single carrot slice….though the biggest idiots already have food on their plates even if it’s something they’re asking for.
If there’s something this game gets right is that the food looks great. Handling the food and all other models, however, look pretty bland or buggy. There’s also LAN support, but why bother when you don’t even have LAN multiplayer? This game basically has 10-15 minutes of gameplay before it spits you out at the main menu as if you hit the ESC button, which gives you the same result.

ok but what the actual fuck is this game??? it must be some type of woman thing but i cannot wrap my skull around this game, some of the items i think have been made up. wtf is a long muffin how can a muffin be long and where the fuck do i find it? what is the difference between french bread and normal bread how the fuck am i meant to serve you the correct origin bread that looks no different to japanese bread? i can grab the food just as well as Jimmy Savile can grab a child. there is no consequence if you miss a customer and i dont actually know the point as there is no scoring system and after the day ends it puts you back to the main menu. other than that id say 10/10 i would def recommend to a friend and i hope to learn all sorts of interesting facts about food prep and what its like in the kitchen. i would also like to state that Gordon Ramsay has been awfully quiet about the release of this game as i think all his fans would move to this far superior teaching method. i hope to obtain all the knowledge i possibly can from this game so i dont have to rely on my disobedient wife to make me shitty burnt scrambled eggs every fucking day. i hope you found this review helpful 👍

Game glitches and destroys all your hard work by day 8. I highly do not recommend at all.

I played for a couple of hours and the game could use more content or quests. The length of how items expire is way to short.
Also, I’d like to request an option to change the controls.

Sep’s Diner
Great fun, but less than two hours long.
Really good fun though.
– Real player with 1.5 hrs in game
A fun, yet somewhat challenging cooking management game. If you enjoy games like ‘Cook, Serve, Delicious!’, ‘Cooking Dash’, & you like the idea of playing theses games in VR, then Sep’s Diner is definitely a game you should check out.
(I had won this game back in August, during a contest that Scale-1 Portal held.)
