Checkpoint Gaming
By MrsLlanteCuisineer invites you to savour a unique blend of roguelite excitement and restaurant management. With over 100 recipes and dozens of ingredients, you can craft your own culinary experience in a customised kitchen, all while serving the diverse residents of Paell. While the village may feel overwhelming at times, the warmth of the townsfolk and the variety of quests create a cosy, immersive experience. Despite a few quirks like the lack of a UI tracking system and loading screen inconveniences, Cuisineer shines with its adorable anthropomorphic art and a gameplay smorgasbord that blends combat, cooking, and questing into a truly enchanting experience. So, don your spatula, savour the joy of culinary chaos, and let Cuisineer whisk you away on a journey that's enjoyable and heartwarming.
Siliconera
By Stephanie LiuMuch like a mug of chamomile tea, Cuisineer is a great way to relax at the end of the day, but it can leave some wanting more flavor.
Kakuchopurei
By Jonathan Leo[...] Cuisineer is a casual and relaxing take on the action-savvy roguelite genre mixed in with some breezy-if-simplistic-and-slow management gameplay. Even if you feel like you have to manage your expectations a tad, you'll do fine in Battlebrew Productions' latest, especially with the isometric attack-savvy bits where you let a cat girl go hog wild with a flame-powered spatula and grenade egg timers against fire elemental yaks and sentient potatoes tossing projectiles.
Gamepur
By Laura GrayCuisineer is just wonderful. It’s not as big as some shop-keeping titles, and it has limits as a dungeon-crawler, but the gameplay is enjoyable and addictive – and I kept wanting to go back for more. While it’s only available on PC, I know I’d grab it up in a heartbeat if it became available on the Nintendo Switch. I can’t recommend this game enough for fans of low-impact cozy games with simple, pleasant storylines. There are no big surprises, and in a way, it makes this game all the more enjoyable. You know exactly what you are going to get, and with that, it is easy to get sucked into the gameplay loop without a single worry to hold you back or leave you emotionally vulnerable. It’s just fun, and that makes it completely worth investing time and money into.
Niche Gamer
By Brandon LyttleUltimately, Cuisineer is a grindy game that will appeal to casual roguelike fans, weebs, or anyone looking for a grindy game to lose dozens of hours into. That same grind will likely alienate a handful of you, but if this kind of isometric combat is your thing then it’s worth pushing through.
