Love Cooking Games? Check Out Steam Cooking Fest

Steam’s game showcases are always fun, and the Steam Cooking Fest (now until Nov. 18th) is no exception! Featuring a buffet of cooking-themed games, some with delicious discounts, there’s something here for every type of foodie-gamer.

Here’s a taste of a few games I thought looked especially appetizing:

Chef Life: A Restaurant Simulator (Cyanide Studio, Feb 23, 2023)
In Chef Life, you create and run your dream restaurant, controlling everything from décor to the final dish. With an overall Very Positive rating, this one looks like it’s worth trying for any budding restaurateur—and it’s on sale for just $8.99, a tasty 70% off.

Chef RPG (World 2 Studio, Sept 12, 2024)
Want to blend your love of cooking with an RPG adventure? Chef RPG, currently in Early Access, might be your game. Its pixel-art style is charming, and the RPG elements give it a unique twist. Plus, it’s rated Very Positive and discounted at $17.99 (10% off).

Coffee Caravan (Broccoli Games, May 20, 2024)
If you’re craving a cute, coffee-fueled road trip, Coffee Caravan could be a treat. The game’s aesthetics are cozy, and I’ll likely be grabbing it myself before the sale ends. With Very Positive reviews, it’s $8.99, 25% off the regular price.

Coffee Shop Tycoon (Riff Studios, Dec 19, 2022)
Can’t get enough caffeine? Coffee Shop Tycoon lets you do it all—roast your beans, make custom recipes, and build a coffee empire. It’s got a Very Positive rating, and at just $3.99 (a steep 60% discount), this one’s hard to pass up.

More of a craft beer fan? Brewmaster offers a realistic brewing simulation where you create custom ales, experiment with recipes, and even enter competitions. With Mostly Positive reviews, it’s a steal at $4.49 (75% off).

Kebob Chefs! – Restaurant Simulator (Biotech Gameworks, Jan 19, 2024)
Ready for some co-op cooking chaos? Kebob Chefs! lets you and up to three friends build the ultimate kebob restaurant together. This Early Access game is on sale for $10.79, a savory 40% off.

Venba (Visai Games, Jul 31, 2023)
Venba offers a unique, narrative-driven cooking experience. Play as an Indian mom in 1980s Canada, exploring South Indian recipes and family stories through charming graphics. This one’s at the top of my list, and with Very Positive reviews, it’s well worth the $7.49 price tag (a 50% discount).

If you’re in the mood for some culinary adventures, the Steam Cooking Fest has plenty to offer! From creating your dream restaurant to brewing craft beer or exploring coffee culture, these games showcase the diverse and delicious world of cooking simulators. With discounts on highly-rated titles, now’s a great time to expand your library and maybe even pick up a few new skills in the kitchen—virtually, at least!

Until next time, bye for now!
