The gameplay is simple--wiggle a frying pan around, cooking up eggs, cigarettes, and other things that just don't want to stay in the damn pan. It might take a bit of adjustment with controls to get the sensitivity and setup to your liking, but after a while the challenge becomes manageable--relaxing, even. That's not what makes this game great. Each discovery of what someone wants you to cook adds to its humorous, whimsical tone, but more than that are the things each character has to say. Sometimes they're quirky, sometimes profound, and more often than not they catch you off guard in a way that's refreshingly unique. Some of the pithiest lines in all of gaming are condensed and delivered in this post-apocalyptic outpost in Antarctica. The game's soothing soundtrack provides the perfect contrapuntal note to the harsh environment and downright disgusting nature of some of the characters' requests. This along with its unashamed low-poly graphics create a cozy and nostalgic atmosphere in an otherwise dreary landscape. It might sound cliché, but my only complaint with the game is that it's too short. It's not bogged down by filler dialogue, tedious tutorials, or pretentious lore, but if there's one thing you leave wanting to see it's more. Still immensely worth it--I'm no canyon bitch.

It's rare to find a game that stays so genuinely committed to its weirdness while still being incredibly heartfelt and thought-provoking.

The soundtrack is frustratingly good. It makes me want to apologize for ever touching an instrument. This is evocative, groovy jazz that makes you want to start abusing tobacco and drinking heavily. As the cherry on top, there's a whole video game to accompany the music. The gameplay is endearingly awkward, the environments are liminally beautiful, and the dialogue displays both absurdist wit and philosophical heft from the game's opening to its final moments. Artic Eggs makes a strong case for video games as an art form.

The game to redefine gaming for the next generation. The game posits the question "is it possible to cook an egg on Mount Everest?" and I began openly sobbing as I realized, standing there in the cold, the only thing stopping me from cooking an egg on Everest was that I had never considered I could. A masterpiece

This is a weird little game. I love it. I played only on steamdeck, and my review has some suggestions for controls. I bought this when steam had a sale for cooking games. I took one look at the artstyle and bought it immediately, no questions asked. It's got a fever dream vibe to it. There's a hazy filter and pastel colors with soft lighting everywhere. Character models constantly undulate in this unsettling way since they usually don't have enough polygons. It's moving texture stretched over octagonal faces and I really love it. When you talk to people you watch their dialogue pop up and sometimes the wrong text appears and gets backspaced and edited in front of you. It's a neat little detail that adds to the dreamscape feeling. Then there's the world building. It's weird and interesting. People exposite random information, sometimes completely unrelated to anything at all. And there's a saint of six stomachs people want to impress? Very little is explained to you, and why would it be? You're treated as a regular in this world and it makes the game far more engaging. Everyone talks in this sort of casual off the cuff way that vaguely reminds me of toddlers walking up to you and over sharing details. One soldier tells me "we're here because the people need us, but not in an authorian way, they actually need us. Right? I think." Another says "my girlfriend lives in another country. That's why you don't know her. She's polish" another says "you aren't ready for the weird hungry freaks through this door until you've fed more people." Occasionally you'll cook for someone or talk to them and they'll move in unexpected and bizzare ways. I made someone eggs and he suddenly jumped up and did a little dance for me. It was endearing. I'm playing this on my steamdeck, which is an interesting challenge. The instructions tell you to hold the left stick and move the right, but that's not actually how you play. All you have to do is move the right stick or the right track pad until sparks appear in the pan. But it's so wildly sensitive it makes the game really hard to play. The gameplay is slippery and inconsistent even when you're not trying to use joysticks. Here's how I 100% this game using a steamdeck. I enabled gyroscope as mouse, reduced the gyroscope sensitivity to 75%, inverted x and y, and binded it to a shoulder button. The gyroscope won't work correctly if you enable it on the right stick. Doing this lets me gently jiggle my steam deck in order to move the pan in game and it even cooks faster. It's hilarious, I've got real pan motions now and it makes the game more enjoyable. I think this might make the game easier than using a mouse. Using gyroscope for small gentle movements and quick small flicks of the right stick for big movements worked really well. The artstyle, the graphics, the music, the bizzare premise and gameplay, it's all working in incredible unison. There was real direction driving this. The gameplay can be frustrating though, it's kind of like QWOP or surgeon simulator esq cooking. There's also no real over arching story here but I don't think there needs to be. I appreciate how strange this game is, and while it might not be for everyone, it's worth experiencing for $5-$10.
