The 3D catalog: game boxes on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalog in 3D

The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

How it feels

What players say

Players say Cooking Simulator 2 strips away the chaotic physics and freedom of the first game, leaving a simplified co-op experience that feels like a different series. Bugs are common: saves corrupt, items vanish, and griefers can ruin sessions with no way to kick them. Performance is poor, struggling above 30 FPS on decent hardware.
