How we pick them
We compare the tags the Steam community gives each game with our own classification: what you do (action, story, building…), the difficulty, how long sessions last and whether you play alone or with others. Nobody pays to appear.
About Chef Knight
You head into top-down dungeons to kill monsters you then cook: each run has a time limit, the dishes are sold to goblin customers and the money goes into a big upgrade tree. A short incremental game of about 3-4 hours.
