While you are eventually given a chance to walk away, you canвЂ™t finish the game that way. ItвЂ™s not lost on me that youвЂ™re constantly being either cheered or chided about your productivity and skill by two robots. While IвЂ™ve personally enjoyed the game-despite its shockingly high difficulty level-the obsession with speed, efficiency, and perfection has remained grating. Eventually, progress is completely tied to your ability to reach perfection, and anything less will slow you down considerably. Despite the game having a вЂњchill mode,вЂќ itвЂ™s impossible to earn any rank higher than a silver, so you will have to play standard if you want gold medals. To earn a gold on a level, you basically have to internalize a вЂњcustomer is always rightвЂќ attitude to the extreme, as anything less than speedy, stellar service will leave you with underwhelmed guests. To unlock all of the routes available on each part of the map, you have to start earning gold medals. And despite how things may seem at first, perfection will come to be expected as standard. Even the tutorial levels have requirements to hit gold medal status (meaning a perfect run with only happy and ecstatic customers), and both Whisk and Cleaver are quick to remind the Chef that they could have done better. They convert their rescue-mobile into a food truck, and itвЂ™s back to the grind.ДЇrom the jump, you as The Chef are expected to perform. Immediately after saving you, Whisk decides that the only way for you to move forward from this traumatic event is to just get right back to work. You, as in the player character, are the former chef of Cook, Serve, Delicious, pulled from the post-attack debris by a pair of rescue robots named Whisk and Cleaver. This opening scene is shocking, but itвЂ™s also pivotal to the messaging of the rest of the game. This includes the titular Cook, Serve, DeliciousвЂ¦until itвЂ™s destroyed in a catastrophic bombing. The game, whose premise is a cross-country food truck road trip, starts by establishing that the US is being ravaged by war, but the economy, and particularly restaurants, are still booming. Not many games have surprised me with their intros the way Cook, Serve, Delicious! 3?! did.
