It's honestly kind of a bummer.

This is one of the best rougelites I've played in a long time, if only because it's so unassuming. Very simple and straight forward, fun and energetic, with great pulsing music and excellent gunplay. The little comic booky effects, which I thought I would hate, seal the deal. It's a proper shooter with great replayability that makes you feel like a total badass. A must-play for anyone thirsty for a new rougelite.

You don't have to play this for long to know that it's pretty cheap. Jumped off a 6-foot snowy ridge and died.

Cook, Serve, Delicious! 3?! is the best entry in the series so far. My partner and I play in co-op and obsess over new updates. It has the easy accessibility of a casual game, with the stressful gameplay and mechanics of a typing game. Controllers work great for co-op, using the full range of the controller in creative and challenging ways. The different recipes present unique obstacles and take advantage of various parts of your muscle memory. Where tamales test your ability to repeat the same sequence again and again, chicken sammies test your ability to rapidly read and translate without error.

CSD 3 feels like a more streamlined version of CSD 2, where the combination of Cook-For-Hire missions and running your own restaurant felt incongruous. With the removal of chores and the new ability to quick-serve completed dishes, CSD 3 has the simplest, yet most addicting approach so far. The charming aesthetic, quirky voice-acting, and strangely sci-fi world building tie together the whole experience. Vertigo Gaming are some of the good ones.
