Kokoro Kitchen

While Kokoro Kitchen is by no means reinventing the genre, with its colorful and cozy visuals and no stress gameplay, it is a pleasant enough game to pass the time if you like farm-to-table restaurant managing games. I don’t usually play a lot of restaurant management games, but I really liked how cozy and stress-free Kokoro Kitchen was, and I spent a lot more time there than in other games.

Kokoro Kitchen is a visual and auditory treat. Everything from the colour palette to the background music feels designed to relax you. The developers have created an atmosphere that’s gentle and familiar, like the warm glow of a favourite café on a rainy day.
