★Chef's Kiss: goddamn...great art, great audio, great UI, great graphics, actual gameplay, etc. This game has it all. A MUST PLAY
+ the UI and transitions are enough to make you nut
+ the gameplay is (subjectively) a decent bunch of minigames (you can easily work around some)
+ the CG and visuals = super spicy
+ a variety of LIs
+ good amount of H content; each different from the others
+ sandbox hell yea
+ mild and non-intrusive voice acting
+ good character writing; even in the hotel scenes they stay in tune with their personality (i.e. Reika being extroverted, Sara being athletic)
- can be a bit too grindy without the cheats or the WIP rooms exploit for ez money
- production seems a bit slow; updates are inconsistent
- graphics settings don't seem to do much for the 3D overworld visuals
Overall, this game is absolutely deserving of 5 stars. I'm really surprised this isn't as well-known as it should be. Some are also concerned about premium-paywall content but tbh I'm fine with actually buying it on Steam (I don't want it to lock content behind DLC paywalls tho)
