About
Cooking Simulator is a single-player simulation game that recreates restaurant cooking using a physics-based engine and detailed kitchen mechanics. Players prepare a wide range of recipes from many ingredients, handling ovens, stoves, pots, pans, and utensils in a fully interactive kitchen. It includes several modes, such as a career mode where players run a kitchen and build up fame by filling orders, a free-form sandbox with no time limits, and a set of tutorials that teach the mechanics. Additional content adds themed kitchens and specialties like pizza, cakes, and cookies.
What is happening now
Cooking Simulator is an indie cooking game available across PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch since 2019. The title tasks players with preparing dishes through detailed kitchen mechanics in various cooking-focused scenarios. Recent coverage has highlighted a new cooking simulator titled Can You Cook My Last Meal, which applies the cooking simulator concept to a darker premise centered around death row themes. This demonstrates the broader appeal and creative range the cooking simulator genre continues to explore beyond traditional restaurant or culinary settings.
