What players say

Players are split on Star Chef 2. Some enjoy its low-stakes timewasting, but many others complain it is ruined by constant wait timers and pushy monetization popups, with a major update that removed a supermarket and slowed progress further. Long-time players also cite the introduction of generative AI as a reason to quit.
