Cook, Serve, Delicious! 2 (stylized as 2!!) is a restaurant simulation game released in 2017, developed and published by Vertigo Gaming for PC, and Mac. The game was released on September 14, 2017, for PC and Mac through Steam[3] and Good Old Games,[4] for the PlayStation 4 on December 18, 2018,[2] and for the Nintendo Switch and Xbox One on April 10, 2019.[5] It is the sequel to Cook, Serve, Delicious!.[6]
Another sequel, Cook, Serve, Delicious! 3, was announced in August 2019.
Gameplay[edit]
As with the original game, Cook, Serve, Delicious! 2!! has the player act as the chef and principle operator for a small restaurant. Over the course of a day, including periods of high activity, the player must cook requested orders and perform various cleanup and sanitary tasks within a limited amount of time. Most of these require the player to press controller buttons or type specific keys on a keyboard to match a specific sequence of cooking or cleaning, or to match specific order requests. Often, a player may need to start an order and wait for it to finish cooking before completing the remaining steps; during this, they can switch to any of the other pending steps and complete those as needed. Doing all the steps correctly and on time helps the player's score, while making mistakes can harm the restaurant's reputation. As the player completes each day, they earn in-game money that can be used to buy new recipes to add to the menu; part of the metagame is to continue to vary the restaurant's menu to draw in new customers, thus requiring a wide array of recipes.
Cook, Serve, Delicious! 2!! has a number of new or improved gameplay mechanics which differentiates it from the original.[7] The game greatly expands the quantity of foods that can be cooked, increasing from 30 dishes, to over 180. Cook, Serve, Delicious! 2 allows players to decorate and update their own restaurant with a variety of art, wallpapers and other furniture. The new installment also splits food into three different types: Entrees, Sides and Drinks. Sides are only ordered if they are pre-prepared in a Holding Station, and several drinks are now self-served. Entrees have stayed the same in gameplay, although some entrees like French Toast require use of the Holding Stations and cannot be made to order.
Cook, Serve, Delicious! 2 also introduces a Chef for Hire system; which allows the player to work at over thirty restaurants, each with its own theme and menu,[7] and a new local co-op game mode. The game also introduces the previously mentioned Holding Stations, which allows for food to be pre-prepared before customers arrive. The game has also received patches, including options that were originally removed from CSD, being reintroduced into the game. The Iron Cook and Catering events have been removed.[8]
Release[edit]
Originally, Cook, Serve, Delicious! 2!! was scheduled for release in August 2017 for Steam, however the game was released a month later.[9] It was released for PlayStation 4 on December 18, 2018; and on Nintendo Switch and Xbox One on April 10, 2019.

The game received mixed reviews, with an aggregate score of 62/100 on Metacritic.[10] GameSpew 'highly recommended' the game and scored 90%, explaining that the gameplay is 'easy to learn and fiendishly difficult to master',[11] and also praised the amount of patches that had been released for the game since release. However, GameSpew also stated that the customization of the player's kitchen feature 'particularly unnecessary', and did not use the function very often.[11]

Gita Jackson of Kotaku said the game was 'quite exhilarating' despite making her 'stressed' due to the 'beautiful' looking food, and said it was an achievement that the game 'washe[d] away all [her] frustration'.[13] However, GamesMaster UK were 'baffled' by the game, and could not see why the game would be popular.[12]

Cook, Serve, Delicious! 3?! is the third part of a series of arcade games with economic elements started in 2012, in which we run our own cooking business. The title was developed and published by Vertigo Gaming, an independent studio responsible for the development of the brand.
Plot
It's 2042 in the United States... or rather what's left of them after the devastating conflict. Wherever this is still possible, people are trying to live as they used to (even though they may still be bombed), so organizing competitions like the Iron Cook National Foodtruck Championships still makes sense. In the course of the game we play the role of a food-truck owner taking part in the championship.
On our way to the new capital Nashville (Tennessee), we are improving our culinary skills and earning money that we can spend on improving our 'mobile restaurant'. All this in order to be able to present oneself as best as possible after reaching the place and to ensure a chance for victory. At the same time, we must be on our guard, because competition is breathing down our necks, which will not retreat from anything to thwart our plans (enough to say that the opponents we meet on the way may open fire on us). We are not alone, as we are accompanied by Whisk and Cleaver robots.
Mechanics
In the course of the game all the responsibilities of a food truck owner fall on us. Between the successive stops on the route through the United States we set the menu and prepare special orders (which 'flow' to us via the Internet), and after reaching the place we take care of customer service. The latter requires from us above all dexterity and reflex, because taking orders, preparing them and serving them is based on pressing specific keys.
The fewer mistakes we make and the faster we deal with them, the more satisfied our customers are, which translates into the height of the tips they leave behind. However, we can not only use the funds obtained to purchase the necessary ingredients and pay the bills, but we can also invest in new decorations of our food truck, kitchen equipment or, finally, better armour or other means of defense against attacks of unfair competition.
Game modes
Cook, Serve, Delicious! 3?! can be played either alone or in local cooperation mode. The core of the game is a feature campaign in which the gameplay is exceptionally fast, but players who want to have a little less fun can switch to the calmer Zen Campaign mode at any time.
Technical aspects
In terms of the audiovisual layer of Cook, Serve, Delicious! 3?! does not differ significantly from what we are used to in the second part of the series. The graphics are still maintained in a colourful, cartoon style, while the fun is accompanied by a dynamic soundtrack intensifying its fast pace.
