is substantially different and considerably simplified. I could even say that it’s targeted more at casual players rather than at the veterans of the series because it doesn’t encourage the frantic and quite hectic button mashing which is the series’ staple mechanic.

As you travel from your small hometown of Moraine to the futuristic solarpunk city of Helianthus, you’ll cook over 80 foods and skilfully master more than 400 recipes.

Along the way you'll earn stickers for completing tasks and challenges. Check out your Cookbook to view your growing sticker collection, and hey, maybe your inner completionist will want to collect them all?

Your quest for culinary greatness will take you and your food cart to over 50 locations throughout the city of Helianthus. Each location has its own menu and set of cooking objectives.
