I've had Automachef for Switch for a while now, and saw that it was on sale over here. It's about 4000% better to play with a mouse and keyboard than with the Switch controller. I definitely recommend it! This game is great for fans of logic puzzles, automation games, and even ubernerds who want to literally write some assembler code to make their robot kitchen completely optimized. The difficulty level ranges from straightforward to quite complex as the dishes and available robotics get more complicated.

Automachef is the most unique factory game I've ever played. You gotta make factories to handle food orders, try to reuse as many parts as possible to save cost, figure out how to handle massive rush hour mobs without burning too much power or dropping orders, and so on. Down the line, this game has its own coding language for controlling machines and handling orders. It's got a puzzle campaign, and a whole contracts mode, all around a good time. You can make VERY tight factories, especially with late game tech. I love this game a lot. Ive never found another factory game that's this good at making me care about compact design, and saving costs. Only in this game will I bend over backwards to use the same electric grill for four recipes.
