I'm surprised that there aren't a lot of ratings for Hot Dish. I liked the time management of it! It's challenging when you have to prepare multiple dishes. However, if your looking for awesome storyline then it fell flat. I don't even remember it, it didn't go too much in depth. But overall love it!
I recommend this game!

You are the chef preparing dishes for a menu that you create.

You are the chef preparing dishes for a menu that you create. For each dish there is a string of steps to take, what makes it difficult is when you have three dishes to prepare at once and as a dish sits it's rating goes down. So you have to balance your time in doing steps for each item and finishing the dishes close to one another, which is the most challenging aspect of the game. I did not have a huge problem with the controls, it did take some getting used to. The only thing I found annoying was not having an indicator to how close the dish was being completed, because some finished much quicker and since that is a big component of the game that would have been useful.

This game is interesting and it's worth trying. Looks like you either really like or you're "eh" about it. I'm "eh" about it. I've played multiple times but I haven't finished it yet. I get bored. It's just the same thing over and over again with different cuisines. The voices of the head chefs get kind of annoying. I'm going to say I'll recommend it for a trial period to see if it's for you.

On Windows 11 with a 24" monitor. The game crashes in full screen, and if you take it out of full screen it's TINY and has a pink box around the mouse. These games need to be updates.
I don't recommend this game.

The Match 3. I liked this, but the background for it was stupid. Match them, and get points to pass a health inspection.
Bad Parts:
Unable to send dishes out when you complete them, so you have to leave them to sit and lose quality untill all the dishes are done. This really needs to be looked at and fixed for the next game!
This game lacks a lot of fun. I really did not want to keep going (have 43 minutes of demo left)
The Controls are pretty stupid. You use your mouse for everything.
This game is a real bore. I was let down by a lot of things and I cannot recommend it. Show less

This seemed like a very fun game but it can not be 'so fun', if the game makes you loose each and every time you play it. If you do not get a 5 star for the foods that you cook, then you must repeat the same level over and over again. This only makes one angry and bored.
I don't recommend this game.

If I want to get carpal tunnel, I'd rather get it with a more interesting game. It's disorganised and boring. Multiple windows with no instruction, all you have to do is figure out what to do in which order, then go crazy with your mouse - clicking and moving up and down or around.
I don't recommend this game.
