It's was rough when first launched but now it is very fun. I decided to buy after playing 10+ hours on unofficial full demo.
Played about 90 minutes. Here is my experience. Created chef. Started tutorial. Cut some potatoes for some fries. Cooked fries. Served fries. Chose Steak dish and caprese salad for next day. Did some shopping. Next day. First customer orders steak dish. Grab all ingredients for dish. Followed steps to cook and here's where it went wrong. I couldn't flip the steak. Steak is cooking along nicely, I arm myself with the spatula and pick up the steak to flip. Nothing. Left clicking on the pan did nothing at all. The steak is clearly on the spatula. I could put the steak back down on the counter, grab it with my hands (the spatula would not pick the steak back up when on the counter) and put back in the pan, but I could not flip it at all. I looked up how to do and was told that I should be able to left click the steak, left the pan and that would initiate the flip sequence. It did not. I tried left clicking, right clicking. No dice. Someone said to put the spatula down and then walk away to reset the pan boxes. That didn't work. I tried changing pans, restarting the game, a spoon...nothing worked. If they can't even get the simple mechanics of flipping a steak right, I have no interest in proceeding. I'll go back to Chef Life, this game isn't ready for prime time.

For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,400 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

I wish i could give a mixed vote for this one. I like that you can make your own recipes now but the game lost its charm when they removed the chaotic part of the game with the sequel. It's an okay cooking game nonetheless but if you think that this game is the same as the first one, then you'd be mistaken. I would not recommend for my own prefrences, which is: -it has a good amounts of bugs -the atmosphere feels dead and empty, not lively at all -the plating sequence is a mess, not a good kind -i love the first cooking sim so it makes sense why im harsher for this one I would give this a good 6/10
gave them food poising
Урезанная версия первой игры, ничего нельзя делать, хочу налить мыло в миску для собаки, нельзя Все предметы отскакивают т летают по кухне как будто я не в симулятор кухни играю, а в PropHunt Garry`s Mod.
Buggy game! Few days in game is okay but once you get to a certain level/progress you get these bugs (Ingredients disappearing/ Item unable to pick up/ Pans and pots can't be put on stove/ Ovens and stove can't be use, Invisible items blocking on the table, etc.). You'll just waste your time. Not worth the price for this half-assed game. Buggy cooking simulator.
什么垃圾游戏,优化差,联机做的和屎一样,你妈的到底会不会做鸡吧优化,跟脑残一样
so many bugs after upgrading kitchen timer cant be readed. Stupid troller griefter came in and throw the gas on the stove and burn it till my kitchen explode, After cooking my dish ready to serve those troller grab my food and trash it. Cant even kick them lol. When forced to quit and re entry switched to closed session get bugged at loading area and cant even play the game.
this game at its released was a huge mess. bugs, untold tutorials, and so on. i remembered i was stuck in the tutorial not being able to advance. But, over the course of a few weeks, patches and updates are being released, and now it's playable. in fact, i realized there's more i can do, although it's still a little clunky sometimes. I have cooking simulator 1 and DLCs and i love them generally, (although sushi DLC is such a bummer) and i think CS2 for now is playable with significant less bugs. The tutorial is still slightly unclear with certain recipes, and i was slightly confused that i got free stuff after the tutorial (but i needed some of the equipment like a mixer for soup during the tutorial. I wish we can have a clear list of cooking equipment needed while shopping, besides the ingredients inventory) I havent even try this game on my ROG ally, since i have a feeling that playing on controller will be another nightmare.. But this game deserves a chance. i will wait for the time where my friends are confident enough to buy this game so i can play with them.
Game is fun but buggy.. The first game was a lot better since u can just mess around. This game not as much and cooking is on baby mode.. u cant really messed up like the first game. sadly 3/6 star
