On the border of a Serious Game
Chef Life: A Restaurant Simulator is a cooking simulation game which turns out to be much more than a simple game. With the editorial staff, we had the chance to play it, and the aspect Serious Games is what jumped out at us the most. For those who don’t know what it is, a Serious Game is a video game whose sole purpose is to entertain. It’s a type of game that aims to teach something, through video games. A good title of the genre must combine as much the playful side with learning. One of the best ways to learn is to have fun. Coming back to Chief Life, the partnership with the MICHELIN guide makes the game particularly concretewith a large number of recipes and characters related to the MICHELIN guide.
Management does not only take place in the kitchen, but also in the relationalwith the staff to manage, external relations who can intervene in the restaurant, the decoration, the purchase of ingredients with the best quality price… Chief Life is a title that, in addition to challenging the player, allows learn all the ins and outs of restaurant management.
A full range of recipes
By dint of making good dishes for the restaurant’s hungry customers, the recipes end up being anchored in the head of the player. A quality worthy of an excellent Serious Game, as this aspect is combined with the entertainment provided. With 80 recipes, the player can not only discover them, but learn to master them. Most are not that elaborate and can be replicated in real life. Each recipe is unique and the player can always improve, especially in cooking and seasoning dishes. The preparation of the dishes is quite precise, wanting to be close to reality, like any good simulation game. A title that may seem quite simple at first glance, but which requires sharp coordination, like real restaurants.
A pinch of challenge
When the restaurant receives customers, the difficulty of the title is felt if no preparation has been put in place by the player beforehand. During the day, it is possible to prepare the ingredients to save time before the restaurant opens. The player can also use this time to learn new recipes and add them to the daily menu. The best way to keep customers happy is to finish their dishes fairly quickly. With several commands at the same time, this exercise is particularly difficult, even with the help of an assistant.
