Chef RPG

I didn't expect this to be so good tbh. I played Fields of Mistria before this and kinda needed a break from it, and since Chef RPG was on sale, I thought, why the hell not and grabbed a copy. Very different vibe than FoM and I honestly love it. I know some people have been complaining about the "rude" NPCs, but I find it hilarious and refreshing. Tiny minus points for the confusing tutorials (maybe I'm just dumb) and the short days.

Has a few bugs, but extremely charming and the gameplay loop is addicting! Playable still and, as seen from my hours, you can sink a looooot of time into this. The updates have changed many big aspects of gameplay in between, though, and it seems like it will be that way until full release. I've gone through a few save files because of this, as I like to start fresh when I feel like I didn't get the full experience by progressing further than the updated mechanics' introductions. I don't mind this though. I like getting a fresh start and exploring with playstyles. If it's a bother for you, I recommend waiting for full release. Overall, a solid and fun game, and I can't wait for the full version!

Aquele tipo de jogo que você fica jogando o dia inteiro e só percebe que o tempo passou porque já é hora de dormir e trabalhar no dia seguinte, viciante.

Tem muita coisa para fazer, a arte é muito boa, mecânica que te prende por horas e você não vê o tempo passar.

Jogo muito legal, tem varios mini games para preparar os pratos, ainda tem como plantar, alguns npc tem como ter coraçoes para ter relacionamento, por mais que esta em acesso antecipado, vale a pena pq tem muito conteudo p jogar

An absolutely wonderful game!! So excited for the full release!! Managing the restaurant is addicting, the cooking minigames are fun (but I also appreciate that I can autocomplete the dishes now that my restaurant is bigger), and I LOVE the resource gathering! Upgrading your tools is very simple (just buy the better version), which is nice. I do not love the mining mechanic (it took me a while to realize you can increase the amount of ore in the mine, but even then the effort to output ratio seems off) and I'm also not too fond of using the machines to create/refine items. These are tied together because I have to mine to make the machines... but I don't want to mine...... It also feels like the machines take forever to finish. But these are personal preferences and mining isn't such a big thing that it hinders my experience. I wish there was an npc I could just buy the ore from like how you can buy ingredients or gather them (there probably is an npc somewhere..... but I do not know where.....). The art style is GORGEOUS!! There is so much care put into all of the settings and the character portraits are stunning! I love the little animations while talking to the characters. I also like the characters, I feel like they have sufficient depth for me to want to talk to them. And improving relationships is nice and straightforward. I LOVE the skill trees! I feel like the perks make noticeable improvements on my abilities. And because completing basically any tasks in the game helps improve your level/experience, the progression feels steady and natural. Overall, an excellent game!! I highly recommend it if you are looking for a cute, shop management style experience :)

Really fun and engaging gameplay loop, and lots of freedom to play the game how you want!
