Several months ago, we discussed simulation games worth exploring. The question now is whether we require more of these games. My current response is in the affirmative, provided they meet a high standard of quality and offer some variety, particularly on consoles. While PC users have a more extensive selection to choose from, a new simulation game has emerged on all platforms. This game, developed by Cyanide and published by Nacon, takes a different approach by simulating a potential Michelin-star restaurant. Introducing Chef Life: A Restaurant Simulator, the latest addition to the simulation game series.
Chef Life: A Restaurant Simulator starts with a fresh business venture, and your goal is to refine recipes and upgrade your restaurant. As you progress through the game, you’ll level up and gain access to additional suppliers, recipes, kitchen equipment, and materials to upgrade your dining room. To provide quality service, you’ll need to plan a menu, order ingredients, and prepare for the day’s service. You’ll also have the opportunity to learn new recipes and prepare ahead of time for each meal. Let’s take a glimpse at some screenshots from the PlayStation 5 version of the game.
A Look At Chef Life: A Restaurant Simulator Game Play
The game translates to a console and controller really well. After a few hours playing I never once felt I needed a mouse and keyboard. If you see trailers and see complicated dishes constructed and think thats difficult to do, it really isn’t on console. Different dishes for example soon feel really easy and learning the timing and switching to different parts is fairly straightforward. So gameplay we can see below, also captured from PlayStation 5.
Visually it’s not as detailed as say some simulation games but the art design is pleasant. So even with this it’s still a relatively good looking title. It doesn’t need photo realistic visuals to be a success. The gameplay with controls that seem naturally mean it’s a very fluid and stable game. The nearest competition I can think of is Cooking Simulator. With that in mind I feel this is the better game and much more in depth. So after a few hours playing this the early impressions are very much positive. Nacon also ran the gameplay prior to release by a real Michelin star chef to get his opinion.
