Chef Knight

Fun game :) i 100% in 3 hours wife said it was cute

A cute mid-tier incremental game that feels a bit undercooked. Still worth playing, but I feel like there are stronger entries in this genre. +++ The home base is excellent. Charming art style, good visuals and sound effects and animations, great cozy music. Cooking up ingredients into recipes is fun. ++ Cute story and theme. ++ Upgrades are meaningful and well paced. + Controller support is decent. Some odd choices like B button opening the options menu. Menus and UI is glitchy but usable. +/- I wish there was more recipes to unlock and this mechanic was explored further. Each recipe is just straight up better than the previous, there's no customisation or thought or reason to change recipe ever, just make the newest one. - Task / quest system does the classic annoying video game thing where you have to do the exact same thing you already just did again because it didn't count while on the previous quest, and you can only be on one at a time. Quests give a unique resource so they cannot be ignored. - You basically cannot see or avoid environmental hazards due to the sheer quantity of enemies and effects on screen. Most other games handle this by adding an upgrade to become immune to the hazards in each zone. This game you just keep getting bonus max health, which mostly kind of works, but it feels more annoying to get hit all the time. - The game felt like it just kind of ended suddenly. There was no conclusion or boss fight or anything, I just won? About 3 hours total. -- The gathering ingredients part is actually the weaker part of the game… especially in the first zone. The music is bad, the environments are just a boring square with repeating texture, and the enemies just waddle around with more and more HP. You walk around and do damage to enemies in a cone in front of you until the level is over. Very very basic gameplay in this area. Then you do it over and over and over again. Once you unlock the second and third areas it gets a bit more interesting with environmental hazards and activatable abilities, but it still feels like a means to an end. It's much lower production quality than the home base. Overall, I still recommend it for fans of this genre.

Jogo curto, simples e divertido. O sistema de upgrade é bem complexo.

흠... 너무 짧은데

Packendes kleines Gelegenheitsspiel. schlachte Monster => koche Monster => Profit. Mit jeder Ebene fängt der Grind gefühlt von neuem an, aber das stört eigentlich nicht. Der Skill-Tree bringt einen gewissen Strategie-Aspekt mit, wobei man hier sagen muss, dass wenn man ein paar Minuten Grindet, man einen beachtlichen teil freischalten kann, eine wirkliche Hürde ist dieser also nicht. Wurde komplett auf dem Steamdeck gespielt und lief perfekt.
