Its a very fun game. I will give it that. However, with games like this the thing I look forward to most is being able to play them with my friends and loved ones. It's a restaurant, you need other people, it helps comradery and improve the enjoyment when a simulator actually simulates in its entirety. I had high hopes that it would receive a co-op mode. Turns out that the developers have and have never had the intention of bringing a co-op mode to life. And with so many comments saying that people would buy it if it was implemented for them to just say "sorry nope," just makes me not want to play honestly. Again, I will say its a lot of fun, but with no future of enjoying it with others I will be playing incredibly little. If you want a game that sort of dies out in its enjoyment after a while then great. Just not for me, or for many people it turns out.

The game itself and how to make the dishes was reeeeallly fun, but everything else about the game was just SO BAD. Tutorial mentions NOTHING about all these icons and stuff like Responsibility except that they exist. Ok but like what do they mean????? Some of the stuff just makes no sense like it tells you to put the pot of green beans on the pot warmer but you have to put the pot back on the stove in order to take green beans out?????????? you cant just take them from the pot itself????? its makes no sense. I was really struggling with everything this game was trying to explain to me. Just so horribly set up. The plate set up also had ZERO tutorial which was arguably the most complicated part. It just said, ok here you go figure it out. I had a lot of fun making the dishes and stuff, but the QoL and bad set up of mechanics finally made me quit.

Games like Borderlands 3: guns that roll, trees that branch

Games like Borderlands 3 have to do two things at once: roll a new gun every few minutes and make a skill tree worth planning. These manage both, and one asks you to craft instead.
