Fruitbus

This game had been on my wishlist for a while, but I was reluctant to get it since I read a bunch of reviews about there being a lot of bugs in the game which seemed to damper some people's experience. I still kept it in my wishlist though, because I really love cooking games and Fruitbus looked like so much fun and looked like it had exactly what I love in cooking games! So, eventually, I decided to get it while it was on sale and I sincerely regret not getting it sooner! There were some bugs yes, but for me personally, I didn't really mind them that much and enjoyed the game so much that they became irrelevant to me. It was still such a joyous experience and everything I hoped it would be. I enjoyed decorating my bus and figuring out how to organize everything within the small space. I loved all the characters; they were all so unique and silly, and I started to genuinely feel for their stories. And then, of course, there's the cooking part. I feel like this game really did it well, I really enjoy cooking games that have you do the work manually instead of just having you simply drag and drop or click a button or something. I like doing the actions myself and working out how I like to sequence making my dishes. I definitely felt that this game did that well, especially later on when you unlock more dish types. It was so fun and as I cut my fruit or baked my bread, stirred my soup, I really felt pride in my little fruitbus. I play a lot of cozy games, but I feel like rarely I actually feel COZY while playing them tbh. But with Fruitbus, I did. Especially once I got to the snowy region and I served my first customer their hot bowl of soup in the middle of a snow storm, and I could practically feel the warmth of it in my own belly as they ate it. I really felt myself taking my time in this game and just enjoying the environment and making food. Anyway, spiel over! I really love this game and would recommend it to any cozy and cooking game lovers!
