While this isn't the Cook Serve Delicious gameplay that a lot of people expected, it's not meant to be that in the slightest.

This is a different take on the formula, and a rather refreshing one at that. It's much slower and rather low-key, which makes you focus more on the actual food itself and really take in each ingredient rather than hammering it out as fast as humanly possible. It is easier than any of the other games in the series, but you do have the option to raise the difficulty with up to three different perks every day, which can really make you think of what you're doing instead of trying to coast by in auto-brain mode.

The story seems far more fleshed out, and is a lot more in focus. The characters are very nicely drawn and very likeable so far. We're still very early so the story might take some twists and turns, but other than that the story's going great.

Overall, this is very much not a CSD4, but something much more unique and worthy of standing on its own. I can't wait to keep the adventure with Nori and Brie going as more updates get released.

I've only played a few levels of this and I'm already hooked. It's not as tedious as Coloring Pixels with so much detail it's impossible to know where to begin, but it's also more than enough to relax you and be the perfect brain off game for the end of the day.

It really brings back fond memories of the satisfaction I felt when solving connect-the-dots exercises in exercise booklets but in a far better way that allows for more complex shapes. I can't wait to see what else comes from this game in the future.

I'm gonna throw my own two cents into this fountain even though it's basically overflowing with pennies at this point. VR Chat has been an amazing experience from the day I first launched it. I have a lot of good memories meeting new people, making friends, and exploring amazing worlds and games. But I always noticed something: The devs always seemed to be a little backwards with any helpful things for the community. From putting some good features behind a paid subscription or general unoptimization, the VRC team has always felt a bit disconnected from the community itself. This whole fiasco has been the final nail in the coffin.

Now, I wasn't a hardcore mod user myself. I only ever got emmVRC a while back but ended up uninstalling it due to issues updating it and just being able to live without the extra features (and wanted to cut off some load times on startup). I realize I might not be as affected as others, but it still breaks my heart to see so many people have their experience completely ruined by the addition of EAC. Many mods added crucial accessibility features, useful information for world and avatar creators, people with potato PCs who could fry an egg with their CPU after just 1 minute in-game if they miraculously didn't crash instantly used mods to be able to be in this universe. All of that completely gone in an instant.

And yes while the team is adding a bunch of features in natively, the damage is already done. And it's even more baffling since they could have easily done this from the very beginning and at least softened the blow. But they decided not to, and now many players, mod users and vanilla users alike, are heartbroken.

If you read this review until the very end and EAC is still a part of VR Chat, I implore you to go elsewhere. I still have sentimental attachment and friends in this platform, but you might be able to save yourself the trouble. Both Chillout VR and Neos have amazing and welcoming communities and dev teams that won't turn a blind eye to major issues like this. There are many other enjoyable platforms that you can explore too.

It's very unfortunate that VR Chat is no longer one of them...

Okay. There are good things and bad things about this game.

When it comes to good things, it's pretty charming and simple to pick up and play. It's just two buttons and you're sent on your merry way. There's loads of songs to try, and if you get the DLC you get new songs every single month, which is a great deal for a few dollars extra.

However... the aesthetics that the game throws at you are... questionable at best. The three main characters barely look like teenagers yet the illustrations the game rewards you with puts them in incredibly lewd situations to the point of making you uncomfortable. Various costumes for the girls are very provocative and sexy, and while you have the choice not to use them, you have to use these sexy costumes in order to get the better bonuses and have a sliver of a chance of getting into the leaderboards. Voice clips are meant to sound lewd sometimes, and you can tap your girl on the title screen for some dialogue, and the dialogue is either flirtatious nonsense that belongs on a raunchy dating sim or straight up complaints about how awkward they feel in their current costume. It's just bad.

In conclusion, it's a mechanically okay game. A bit on the basic side but it can be a comfort thing for when you don't have enough brain power to play osu or DJMAX. On the other hand, I can't recommend this game due to how it handles its characters and aesthetics. If you don't mind those things then go right ahead and buy it if it's on sale. I personally will only play every once in a while to see what the new songs are and just keep it hidden due to how dirty it makes me feel.

I have been playing as a beta tester for quite a while now, and I just have to say that this is the best incarnation of the CSD series that we have ever received.

Not only does it take the progression ideas from the first, and the beautiful aesthetics and pinpoint mechanics of the second, but it expands them and throws them into a package with a deliciously wacky story of a post-apocalyptic America where you're just driving a food truck. It's bonkers. It's wild. It's amazing. I love it.

Please buy this game. Don't even wait for a sale. Buy it now. NOW!! YOU GET TWO ROBOT COMPANIONS VOICED BY TWO AMAZING TWITCH STREAMERS WHAT ELSE DO YOU WANT!!!

This is an amazing game. It takes the hysteria of rhythm games and plops them in a 3D world where perspective can really mess you up.

The viewer interaction on Twitch is also fun as hell, and will always give a smile to my face whenever I use it.

9/10. Good game here

The fish ending will haunt my nightmares forever....

10/10 would fish again

Okay. I don't usually write reviews for games, and when I do I spend a pretty hefty amount of time with them. But this? This needs to be addressed as soon as possible.

This game isn't that good.

It sounds okay in paper, but it fails dramatically in execution. The score system is confusing, the game goes so fast that you can't react to anything (slo-mo doesn't help) or it goes so slow that you get bored. The amount of blocks spawned is ludicrous, even for hard rythm games. I can barely see the very transparent powerups in a sea of blocks that spawn out of nowhere. That bar up there? It's an ammunition bar and not a cooldown bar like I assumed it was. Why not an ammo counter? Why a bar?
The worst part is the song indexing. You need to put your local songs into a specific folder in the local files for the game to index them and let you play them. Rythm Rush did the same but that game at least has the decency to easily link you to the correct directory. This one has nothing saying where to go or what to do for local song indexing. I didn't try the streaming feature, but it sounds like an okay alternative.

Overall, I can say that this is the first musical generation game that I disliked. Please buy something else with your money.

I will be honest. I'm not that much of a fan of horror games, or just plain creepy games for that matter.
But this one? Oh my God was it a ride.
It has really given me new perspectives on what the genre can do.

......Can I trust my own phone now?

Let's get to the point.

There's food. Lots of it.

Need I say more?

It is kinda stressful tho 8/10 would recommend
