I hope you’re hungry for some great deals, because Steam’s Cooking Fest is here! Chow down on some discounted games and find your new favourite dish! Uh, I mean... Game!
Steam’s Cooking Fest is a showcase of all games culinary and is running until the 18th of November. There’s a big menu of games to choose from, so let me take you on a delicious dive into some of my personal picks.
Cuisineer is a delightfully delicious dungeon diving roguelike where you take on hordes of angry chickens for their meat, smash rocks for materials, and manage your very own restaurant. Play as Pom, an adorable adventurer equipped with a trusty spatula, and meet a whole adorable cast of characters, each with their own fun food pun names. Cuisineer is currently 30% off during Cooking Fest, bringing it from $34.99AUD to $24.49.
If you’ve watched anyone stream games on TikTok in the last year, you’ve seen someone play Good Pizza, Great Pizza. This simple but addictive game sees you running your own cozy pizza shop, filling orders and upgrading your store. The game was initially released back in 2014 on mobile, but the Steam release has brought many updates and in-game events, and it’s on sale right now for half price, down from $14.50AUD to $7.25AUD. That’s cheaper than a real pizza!
Have you been trying to get the gang together for dinner, but everyone is just too dang busy? Try BBQ Simulator: The Squad, a sandbox grilling experience where you and up to 8 friends can grill those burgs to your heart's content. There is so much chaos to experience in this game, and they even added a Battle Royale mode!?! Who said grilling can’t be fun. BBQ Simulator is currently on sale for 55% off, down from $5.95 to just $2.67, so this is the perfect time to get everyone together for some affordable fun.
Are you a Dungeons & Dragons nerd but you want something a bit simpler than Baldurs Gate 3? Try Tavern Talk! A cozy visual novel where you run a D&D inspired tavern, meet the local adventurers and serve them fun magical concoctions. Turn rumors you overhear from your patrons into epic quests and learn all about the hugely diverse cast of characters who come to you for your drinks. As the winner of Gamescom Most Wholesome game this year, you’re bound to have a great time. Tavern talk is currently 20% off, down from $26.50AUD to $21.20AUD.
Do you ever wish you could be a possum, eating as much food as you can while causing endless chaos in the process? Well, you should be playing Pizza Possum! Run around in this chaotic arcade game eating as much as you can without getting caught. If you have a friend, they can join you in 2 player local co-op as a rascally raccoon, as you terrorize the village together in the name of delicious snacks. Pizza Possum is currently 40% off, from $10.25 down to $6.15, which is again cheaper than a real pizza!
There are of course hundreds of other games currently on sale for Cooking Fest, so I urge you to have a look for yourself and see what looks tasty to you! Don’t forget to claim your free point shop items, which are a sticker, frame and avatar, and dig in! There’s a meal fit for everyone! Uh, I mean... Game.
I’m gonna go have a sandwich.
