Vriska Serket's guide to which games have the best cooking functions.
On this site you'll be able to access all my reviews, where I rate games based exclusively on the cooking-related activities. This is inclusive of any games with any cooking, not just games with a focus on cooking!
This review site is primarily for entertainment purposes, however it is also born from my love of cooking in video games. It was inspired by the rising popularity of people who seek to make recipes from video games, and the Cooking Every BoTW Recipe video by Brian David Gilbert. However, I do not seek to replicate these things, instead taking inspiration to create my own concept.
Games I review will be rated on several concepts I consider key features of cooking in games.
These concepts are:
- Ease of access
(How much do you have to play to access the cooking?) - Creative freedom
(Do you have to cook specific things, or do you get more choices?) - Importance
(Does the cooking impact the gameplay?) - Realism
(Would these methods and ingredients work in real life?) - Interactivity
(Do you participate in the actual cooking?) - Hunting/Gathering
(How easy and engaging is the process of getting the ingredients?)
All ratings will include an explanation for why I felt that way.
Reviews will also include me cooking a recipe from the game (or at least attempting to).
