Cook Serve Delicious! is a unique cooking game that uses typing mechanics to set it apart from other games of its kind. Yes, you read that right. Instead of dragging things around or clicking different places, you prepare your recipes with the keyboard. While this may sound like it would be super awkward, the game pulls it off so that memorizing the typing combinations to create different types of food feels very satisfying.

Developed by Vertigo Gaming Inc., Cook Serve Delicious! is an action-packed cooking game that puts you in charge of a restaurant that you hope to raise to five stars. To do this, of course, you need to serve impatient customers. You start out with simple recipes like pretzels and corn dogs, and as the game progresses, you move on to more complicated recipes like soup and lasagna. In addition, you have to deal with extra tasks like washing dishes, taking out the trash, and identifying thieves.

Everything is executed via the keyboard, with different keystrokes performing different actions. The faster you type, the faster everything gets done. As you progress, you find yourself memorizing more complex keystrokes, which can be a gratifying experience. This makes for heart-pounding levels where you might barely finish a customer’s order on time.

There’s Always Something New to Do

As you rise through the star rankings, you’ll be met with new challenges. You might be invited to participate in a catering event. You might be invited to participate in a bet where you have to serve twenty perfect meals with certain foods on your menu. There are also online challenges where you can compete against other players. With a good dose of humor thrown into the mix, you can be sure that you can always come back to the game and have an entertaining experience.

Conclusion

The indie market is oversaturated with cooking games like Overcooked, but Cook Serve Delicious! stands out with its unique typing mechanics and chaotic gameplay. If you enjoy fast-paced, stress-inducing action, give this game a look. In addition, you might feel a bit hungry after playing. The game can be purchased on Steam for $9.99.
