There's definitely some jank in the controls and the UI, but the basic game is sound, kept me interested for a good long time, and I appreciated the humor in the writing. You follow a bunch of storylines, unlocking different ingredients and things you can grow and build, and then use your ingredients to win a bunch of cooking battles. The cooking battle rules with how the ingredient synergies and the judging rules and sauces work is very clever, and presents a lot of different situations for you to solve.

This game is absolutely great. Only difficulty is the book of dialogue to read. But, the reading it is worth it. The story is clever, well thought out, and very fun. The gameplay is unique and very well balanced. Some of it is kinda slow paced (like fishing), but overall extremely well thought out mechanics. You are unlocking new features all the way up to the end-game. If you are able to focus enough to read through the long dialogues, this game is a true gem. Can't recommend enough.

Epic Chef Pros: 🍳 Culinary Creativity Epic Chef serves up a delightful blend of cooking, farming, and quirky humor. The game encourages you to experiment with ingredients, crafting unique dishes that add a fun twist to the standard life-sim formula. It’s a feast for those who love to mix and match flavors, making every meal feel like a new challenge. 🍅🧄 🏡 Engaging Storyline and Characters The witty dialogue and quirky characters keep the narrative engaging. The interactions are filled with charm and humor, creating an immersive world where every character has their own personality and oddities. It adds a nice layer of storytelling to the gameplay that makes it more than just cooking. 📜🗣️ Cons: 🌱 Limited Expansion Options One of the most frustrating aspects is the lack of space expansion. You’re stuck with a confined area, and there's no real option to make your field bigger or expand your workspace significantly. It feels like the game missed an opportunity to let us go all out with farm and kitchen upgrades. 🚧🏡 🍞 Could Use More Ingredients The variety of ingredients feels a bit lacking, especially after you’ve been playing for a while. More foodstuffs would have added much-needed depth to the cooking aspect, allowing for even crazier dish combinations. It’s fun, but it doesn’t take long to feel like you’ve seen most of what the kitchen has to offer. 🥒🥕 Other Drawbacks: ⚙️ Clunky Controls Navigating the game can feel a bit awkward at times, with controls that aren't as smooth as they should be. Whether it's managing your inventory or moving around your limited space, it feels a bit too restrictive and unpolished. 🕹️🤦‍♂️ Good Points [*]Culinary creativity. [*]Engaging story and characters. Bad Points [*]Limited expansion options. [*]Could use more ingredients. [*]Clunky controls. Category Score Creativity ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Story ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Space Management ⭐⭐ Overall Rating ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Personal Comment Epic Chef is a fun and quirky experience that combines cooking, farming, and a lot of humor. However, the limited space and lack of ingredient variety can make the gameplay feel a bit cramped and repetitive. Expanding our space and having more foodstuffs to experiment with would have added a lot more depth and enjoyment. Still, it’s a charming ride for anyone who enjoys a bit of culinary chaos!

This was a very enjoyable game. I really enjoyed the cooking challenges that really made you plan ahead. They didn't ever get too hard but were still challenging and took some thought. Sometimes it got a bit repetitive because you have to keep making the same ingredients over and over, especially sauces, but it didn't stop me from finishing the game. The only part I really didn't like was fishing once you got to the higher tiers. I absolutely hate fishing mini games and while this one was simpler than others, it was still super annoying and fish catch rates for a couple fish were awful. 9/10 - well worth the money
