Epic Chef

For fans of life and farming sim games, there’s a lot to like about Epic Chef. Yes, it’s a bit scrappy at times, but once you get hooked on its gameplay loop of farming, crafting and cooking, it hardly matters. Funny dialogue, quirky characters and a bizarre but enjoyable story set Epic Chef apart, and although it’s not going to set anyone’s world on fire, it’s plenty of fun while it lasts.

Aside from the saving issue, I was surprised by Epic Chef. In fact, after putting hours into it I can say for certain it is one of my favourite games of the year. It mixes arguably terrible jokes (I find them hilarious), cleverly chaotic gameplay and a semi-nostalgic art style to create an entertaining and great game.

Epic Chef got under my skin a fair amount, but it's so insanely funny that I can't help but forgive its shortcomings. I wish it was less grindy and had some of the tedium lessened, but this is an entertaining, lengthy game with a ton of personality. You hear me?!

I love indies that provide something unique and Epic Chef is quite a clever game that'll have you cooking and farming for days.
