Every time I would try to open the achievements in-game, it would crash. Starting not in full-screen sucks. I can't even finish the tutorial without it crashing.

Игра "The Cooking Game" оказалась на удивление увлекательной! Простой, но захватывающий геймплей быстро затягивает. Приготовление блюд по рецептам, управление временем и ресурсами, угождение привередливым клиентам - все это создает напряженную и динамичную атмосферу. Мне понравилось, как постепенно открываются новые рецепты и ингредиенты, стимулируя продолжать играть. Графика симпатичная и не отвлекает от процесса. Звуковое сопровождение добавляет атмосферы кулинарной суеты. Однако, иногда игра кажется немного однообразной, особенно на поздних этапах. Не хватает каких-то более сложных механик или разнообразия в задачах. Было бы здорово увидеть больше кастомизации ресторана или возможность соревноваться с другими игроками. Несмотря на это, "The Cooking Game" - отличный выбор для тех, кто ищет простую, но увлекательную игру на кулинарную тематику. Рекомендую, особенно если вы хотите скоротать время и испытать себя в роли виртуального шеф-повара.

Games like Dying Light, where nightfall changes the rules

Games like Dying Light are easy to find if you only want parkour or only want zombies. These eight keep the part that matters: a city that becomes a different place after dark.

Games like Portal 2, where one idea carries the whole game

Games like Portal 2 all share one habit: teach a single impossible trick, then spend a campaign breaking it. From rewinding objects through time to Escher geometry that loops back on itself.

Planet Coaster DLC: skip the collection, buy the packs

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.

Titanfall 2's campaign changed its own rules every mission. Games like Titanfall 2 that keep one part of it — the wall-running, the mech, or a campaign that never settles.
