Resolving Common Problems with Cooking Games


Even the best games have problems and cooking games are no exception. Cooking games are great in many ways, but there are certainly some things I’d like for the game developers to consider as they create future cooking games.

Cooking games need more variety. There needs to be more to cooking games than you can find right now. Cooking games are great, don’t get me wrong, but think of the many kinds of dress up games out there. There just aren’t very many things you can do with cooking games. Someone creative needs to be out there thinking up new solutions.

Cooking games should have less repetition. Rather than doing the same thing over and over again, you should have the opportunity to try something new on each round of the cooking game. Rather than just flipping more pancakes, perhaps add some eggs and bacon to the mix.

Cooking games should span the globe. I think the cooking games we enjoy online should take dishes and practices from all over the world. I might not know much about authentic cuisine from every country in the world, but I’d sure like to learn more about it.
