GameSpaceMar 20238/10Chef Life: Restaurant Simulator is fun and exciting. Having worked as a culinary miracle for several hours, we can say that Chef Life is not just a cooking simulator. Chef Life requires you to be constantly focused on all fronts.

SoftpediaAndrei DumitrescuMar 20238/10Chef Life: A Restaurant Simulator has a good idea and some decent gameplay mechanics. It’s somewhat fun to discover the techniques associated with a new dish and then aim to create a perfect take on it, complete with a radical and interesting plating that will revolutionize the fine-dining world.

PlayStation UniverseNeil BoltFeb 20237.5/10It may not be the most in-depth sim, but Chef Life: A Restaurant Simulator does a great job of recreating the mechanics of running a restaurant without devolving into grim spreadsheet nonsense or coming off as loose-limbed mobile port fodder. I wouldn't give it a Michelin star, but I'd definitely eat there.

Push SquareJohn Cal McCormickFeb 20236/10Do well and everyone is happy and they might leave tips. You can spend your hard-earned coin on new cooking equipment, décor for your bistro, furniture, that kind of thing. As you progress, you learn new recipes, and you can add new flourishes to old ones. Eventually you get more chefs you can lead to help you out. And if you're really struggling there's options to lower the difficulty significantly, which makes the game quite chilled out if that's more your thing.

Thumb CultureMar 20233/5 starsI enjoyed my time so far with Chef Life and looking forward to playing more. It brings its own take on the sim genre while inspired by predecessors such as Cooking Simulator. With an interesting narrative, the game has multiple branching options on the path to success.
