If you are a CSD freak who got hooked on this series by smashing your keyboard to quick-prep lasagna layers and you are coming here for that adrenaline rush...then actually, Cook Serve Forever is probably *not* going to be your favorite game. This is a heartfelt, story-driven game, with less multitasking and time pressure than the prior three games in the series. However, I found that CSF has its own charms. The story is genuinely endearing, with good characters, funny moments, and competent voice acting. And the new cooking mechanics -- controller-based, where you can multi-task recipe steps by split-braining your left and right hands -- does give a feeling of satisfaction once you get into the groove. (The food also *looks* delicious, so this is highly recommended for fans of well-rendered entrees.) I ultimately only ended up with ~3 hours on the game because I became about as good as I was going to get at the cooking mechanics, so the main gameplay interaction was just repetition from there to the end of the game. That's the point where I got off this train, but it's not where everyone will get off. If you enjoyed the easier difficulties of the previous CSD games, or if you plan to digest this in small play sessions to relax every evening, then you'll be at home here, and you'll get a nice story to boot. Boy, am I ready for that remaster of CSD 1, though! Can't wait to get back to slapping down those lasagna layers.

I've always been a fan of the Cook Serve Delicious games and stepping in to this one knowing it was a different experience had me a bit concerned. I first played this game very early in its development and the gameplay did not click with me and felt frustrating. Fast forward to now the game is fully out and I have revisited it and I must say I am extremely impressed with all the changes that have went in to the experience. The gameplay feels rewarding and requires a lot of coordination with both of your hands simultaneously. Motions feel like the items you are prepping and as I got better at performing them the more I connected with quickly completing recipes. By the time I reached the end of the game, I didn't even need the on-screen instructions and could just do the motions based on color alone. Throw PSCR out the window, a new lasagna muscle memory has come to town. I have always found the Cook Serve franchise to be underrated with it's world building and writing and the narrative in this game is absolutely superb. I would even call it the highlight. So much so, that it has become my favorite game in the franchise. I loved how all the main characters have their flaws and a lot of the game is centered around them working through them. Without delving in to spoilers, I saw a lot of reviews that did not agree with some of the choices, but I think in the grand scheme of the narrative that the ending works very well. Just excellent writing and great performances from the cast all around. In a year full of fantastic video game releases, for me this one stands among them. I am happy to say that the turnaround on this game has completely won me over and I will continue to champion the Cook Serve franchise! PS - For those franchise players who are typically keyboard mains, this one is definitely worth plugging in that controller for.

After a rough start in early access, the gameplay was entirely modified for the better. While not as hard as the previous CSD games, this game still gives you a good challenge if you strive for perfection. The game is a lot more focused on telling a quite nice story. The music works out great again this time around. The art looks gorgeous when you find time to look at it. The story is not going to blow you away but is very heartwarming and nice to go through all the same. My only two negatives (Where one might've been rectified in early access without me noticing) are: (At least initially) you really need a controller to play, the keyboard layout was nonsensical and not rebindable. This may have changed. Still an issue is the loading screens between story sequences and gameplay and menus. They could be intentional transitions, but it just feels weirdly drawn out to sit watching a scene for a couple of seconds before something happens. Other than that, as long as you don't expect the same as the previous Cook Serve Delicious games, and you like having to precisely and swiftly hit and hold buttons, this is a good game to play.

Wow, just wow.... When i played this game way way early in development i was disappointed, the gameplay was very repetitive and got old pretty quick, it's safe to say i wasn't alone in feeling that either! But oh my god did the team pull through, the turn-around this game had was amazing. It's genuinely a blast to play through and it hardly felt repetitive to me at all. But this isnt a game you play just for the gameplay, oh no no no no, you play this game for it's story too and ohhhh boy did the team COOK on that department as well! Genuinely I couldnt have asked for a BETTER ending. There was a lot of subtle details that I loved between the voice acting and animation that made it just that more perfect as well. It's safe to say that I genuinely love this game and i love this team, PLEASE play this game whenever you can, its amazing.

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.
