Games like Kebab Chefs: Prologue

Steam reviews

What players say

Mixed reception: players like the cooking and restaurant loop, but the prologue's frequent bugs and unclear instructions put many off.

Many players like the basic loop of cooking, serving customers, renovating and expanding the menu, and several note it is simple to understand while offering a few things to focus on. Some point out the wide range of dishes beyond kebabs and the amount of decorations and recipes visible even in this short version. The main complaints are bugs: items clip through tables and sinks and fall out of reach, dishes will not complete orders, stoves and fridges stop working, and some players lost their save and had to restart. Many players also find the instructions unclear, cannot skip the tutorial, and feel cooking steps are clunky. Several reviewers say they will wait for the full release, while others say the prologue is too buggy to justify a purchase. Recent reviews are more negative than the older helpful ones, and several mention no updates or news about a full release.

Who it suits

Suits players who enjoy simple restaurant and cooking sims and are willing to tolerate bugs while they wait for a more complete version.

Who should skip it

Should be skipped by anyone who wants a stable experience or expects a polished, finished game, since the bugs and unclear instructions are frequent.

Short vs. long playtime: Players with under an hour mostly report the game failing to open or the tutorial breaking, while those with a few hours more often describe the cooking loop as enjoyable despite the bugs.
