Having finished all the content in version 0.95 (the final content update), I feel very positive on the game overall. The story, while nothing groundbreaking, is a nice change of pace from the other games in the series. In terms of gameplay, I liked the fast-paced simplicity of the actions and I felt that completing all the blitz levels with gold ranks was a good challenge. However, I think some of the recipes, especially ice cream, do not give the player enough time on the default difficulty to complete them without mistakes. Conversely, hamburgers and roll sushi give too much time to get the delicious ranking, making these recipes feel easy, which is a disappointment when comparing the difficulty of CSD2/3 hamburgers to this game.

Edit: now that all of the content is out, I can confidently recommend it! They really stuck the landing with the ending, it is truly inspired, it's so sweet. Again, TLDR; this is a narrative game, not a Cook, Serve, Delicious! game. You can skip the cutscenes, but if you do there's not too much here for you, the writing's the best part. I can certainly recommend it at the current price point, but I would still wait for a sale — not necessarily because it's not worth full price (there is a lot of bespoke art and voice acting for an indie game), but because it pretty regularly goes on sale for 50% or more, and it's definitely worth that price. I've always loved the Cook, Serve, Delicious series, ever since I was a kid, and this game does not feel like playing one of those games. Here's the thing, though: that's good, actually! I'm actually kind of a weirdo in that I've always been just as invested in the writing of the CSD series as the gameplay, so having a whole game to let that writing shine? Delightful! There are so many fun interactions here, I love the relationship between Nori and Brie, and the VAs do a great job with the dialogue! The art is still lovely and the music is incredible as always! The gameplay is different, for sure. I can't speak to how well the old gameplay system worked (I only played the demo before the new stuff was implemented) but I quite like the new system. It has much lower of a skill ceiling than the main trilogy games, but what it lacks in complexity it makes up for in thematic relevance. Because unlike in the previous games, where you're starting from ground zero, Nori is already a good chef, and she already knows a lot of recipes. So going through the motions lets you listen to the dialogue stress-free, while making you feel busy and competent. And that's especially well-felt in the nighttime scenes where you aren't timed and just get to make food while listening to TV in the background. Y'know, like what people actually do when they cook. It makes it feel so much more homely and alive! It gets you in the zone of the story much more than if it were just a straightforward visual novel (which, to be honest, it's probably best to view this game as anyway). The only gripe is that there just isn't a whole lot of game here, especially at full price. I got it half-off, which I'm fine with given that it'll be a full game eventually, but it only took me about 2 hours to do all of the story that's currently on offer, so whether you want to buy in on an incomplete story is ultimately your call. Me personally, I'm excited for the rest!

This game was an instant purchase for me when it first released. I loved the Cook, Service, Delicious series, but I never put that many hours into the game due to its stressful gameplay. Cook Serve Forever, on the other hand, emphasized that its focus would be on coziness. I played and the game was indeed cozy, to the point that I would fall asleep due to the simple and easy gameplay mechanics. Now, though? I am not going to fall asleep again! The revamped gameplay is great. You need to multitask to cook dishes, and it is satisfying how there are different variations of what I need to press to make a meal. In the past, I understand why this game got a thumbs down. If you could do yourself a favor right now, it would be to try this game again. You will be engaged and still love the cozy atmosphere! Or if you haven't tried this game yet, please do! I want this game to get the love that it deserves. The developers are active and try to respond to its fans.

The recent update improved the gameplay significantly. The old gameplay was grindy and all of the recipes felt the same. The update fixed that issue without turning up the difficulty too much. The developer is clearly trying to go for a less hectic experience than in the mainline CSD games. If you're looking for more CSD then this isn't it, if you're looking for a similar game with a more relaxed pace then that's what this is. Also, ignore my playtime. I left the game open on my computer on accident for like three days while I read a book or something. In its current state I wouldn't expect anyone to get more than a few hours out of this game, if that.

fun game, nice art, nice voice acting. most of the negative reviews are from "hardcore" csd fans being dissapointed that this game that shares a name with csd is not the same as it. cook serve forever is not a sequel of csd and the gameplay is different. i have a combined ~150hrs in all of csd and still enjoyed the game even though its not as hard as them. if you want a difficult fast paced game. this isn't for you
