It is an amazing game for those that like cooking or people like Josh (if you know you know) that just want every customer to suffer. I would recommend that you get one or more of the DLC's to make the game more expansive and fun.

I bought this game thinking I was going to be the next Gordon Ramsay. Instead, I accidentally created a particle accelerator in a 700-watt microwave because I left a stray fork on a ceramic plate.My kitchen is now legally classified as a sovereign nuclear state. The health inspector didn't even write a review, he just called the UN. I dropped a yellow gas canister from chest height and it broke the physics engine so hard my Steam account uninstalled itself. 10/10, currently writing this review from the shadow realm because Rico said "Kaboom."

I downloaded Cooking Simulator thinking I’d casually fry some eggs. Big mistake. This game is basically a physics-based kitchen chaos simulator disguised as a “fun cooking game.” You’ll start by chopping onions and end up questioning why the tomato you just threw across the room exploded like a grenade. The stove is your battlefield, the pots are your weapons, and somehow… a carrot can ruin your entire dinner. The attention to detail is insane. Every recipe has multiple steps, every ingredient behaves realistically (and messily), and yes… accidentally tossing a pan across the kitchen is perfectly normal. You will fail, burn, spill, and overcook, and yet somehow it’s incredibly satisfying. Single-player only? Perfect. You don’t need friends to scream at you or judge your terrible plating skills—your kitchen itself will do that. Every failure is hilarious, every success feels like a miracle, and I’ve personally spent more time cleaning up virtual messes than I do in real life. The DLCs are optional, the main game is plenty content-packed, and performance is solid. Plus, watching a soufflé collapse in slow motion has never been more entertaining. Final Verdict: 10/10. I came to cook. I stayed to witness chaos, heartbreak, and culinary physics I didn’t know existed. This game is therapy… but also slightly traumatic.

I found that the secret to being really good, really quickly is to just set your custom menu to soups - make the soups, keep them to the side, get an order, plate it, reheat it in the microwave (high; 30sec), and serve. Perfect scores every time.... assuming you didn't screw up making the soup in the first place.
