Flipping burgers in the apocalypse is the most stressful thing I've done in a game

In games, I’ve fought wars, escaped certain death, and saved universes—but I don’t think I’ve ever been as stressed out as I am assembling a burger in Cook, Serve, Delicious! 3?!. This cooking sim sequel puts the focus squarely on high-speed food preparation under pressure. A lot of pressure.

In a near-future America torn apart by war, your goal is to… run a successful food truck. As you travel across the country, you have to set your menu and then (rapidly) get everything ready for your customers, tapping letters on your keyboard to correctly cook each dish. Different levels have different restrictions, forcing you to change up your offering by only allowing certain types of food, or requiring a minimum number of points (each dish being scored according to how complex it is to make). 

Compared to the previous games, the action is streamlined. You no longer have to do chores like washing the dishes, for example, and instead of serving orders one by one, you can hit a key to send out all ready dishes automatically. It’s a shearing away of distractions that allows you to concentrate on cooking and cooking alone.

At first, the game feels easier than its predecessors. The action’s even broken up into periods of travel and stopping points where customers arrive, giving you hassle-free time to prepare meals in advance and get ahead of the rush. But it quickly becomes clear that these little mercies are all the excuse the developer needs to crank up the heat.
