Hell’s Kitchen – The PC Game Review
The PC game version of Hell’s Kitchen is a lot of fun for fans of Gordon Ramsay’s cooking show. The game itself is interesting and has a variety of difficulty levels. There is more to this game than the spatula. You are no longer just a cook.
Like many time management games, Hell’s Kitchen starts off easy as you learn the controls and the gist of what you’re supposed to be cooking. You learn to cut all the vegetables and other delicate preparations that are needed to make your glorious feast perfect. Once you get past that level, the game becomes more difficult than you’d expect, as you don’t have Jean-Phillipe’s secondary help in running the dining room like you might expect if you watch the show.
One of the challenging aspects of the Hell’s Kitchen game is that you can’t just stay in the kitchen and whip up wonderful creations to delight the taste buds. You are stuck doing the work yourself. You get help from your service staff, but only to the extent that you know how to direct them. Although his help increases as he becomes more skilled, he is still racing madly to avoid burning down his restaurant and losing valuable customers. Not to mention ruining your sweet delicacies that you have invented.
Watch out! You don’t want to overcook the vegetables or you’ll be the target of Chef Ramsay’s voice and while he doesn’t say exactly the same thing as he does on his TV show, it’s a daunting and rather distracting experience as you try to salvage the rest. of your orders. Hell’s Kitchen game is about time (as usual in cooking and time management games), just like cooking in real life. Not only do you have to prepare the food correctly and in the right order, you have to do it in such a way that ALL the orders on a table are finished at the same time. So be sure to hone your time management skills.
Although the main focus of the Hell’s Kitchen game is on culinary skills, it is also about management and gives you a taste of what running a restaurant is like. In fact, as your skill increases (don’t forget to prepare the meat!) and your levels rise, you’ll be asked to run not one but two kitchens at once! But don’t be discouraged. Upon completion of a level, you get one of Chef Gordon Ramsay’s personal recipes for his private collection. Talk about a bonus! It almost makes up for me yelling at you when your customers leave. If you like board games like Cooking Dash, Cake Mania or Diner Dash, this takes it to the next level!
