Fun but needs fixes – Chef Umami Review

This game is a lot of fun and really soothing-the visuals and style make it very relaxing to play for a long time. It’s a great concept for a game and I love how much control you actually have on what your cooking and how realistic the cutting is. Definitely needs improvement in regards to some technical aspects as well as some glitches which make it literally unplayable. Whenever I play, sooner or later, one of two things happens: either the food gets stuck and I can’t pick it up anymore, or a customer shows up and doesn’t give me an order and nothing I do works and I can’t progress from there. Every time this happens I have to restart the game and it is so frustrating. Some other things I think could be improved: when you transfer food from a pot or cutting board, it tends to just fall everywhere and it makes plating the food and making it look nice impossible. Overall though, I really love the game when it doesn’t glitch and I can make the orders look nice. I just had an 8 hour plane ride and basically played the game the entire time.
