I love a chill game where I can smash out tasks and progress. That’s what made me jump on Cuisineer, a dungeon crawler where you try to get a restaurant humming. It’s all I thought I could ask for in a game to jam on the train. For the most part, it succeeds! https://youtu.be/gpkRu4XrrCk Pom is an adventurer who returns home from a big adventure to find her parents have abandoned the restaurant to her.
