The Tiny Chef Show: Cooking with Fwends is the latest game from Nex Playground. It is included with the Nex Play Pass, and offers hours of safe fun for gamers of all ages. Furthermore, it gets you off your bum as you cut, select, and mix the correct ingredients. Although it is relatively mindless, it works exceptionally well with the motion controls, and I enjoyed every second.
Nex Playground developed this fun, family-friendly title. It is heavily influenced by Nickelodeon’s much-loved TV series. Therefore, if your kids adore this TV program, they’ll cherish the time they spend with the larger-than-life protagonist.
This cooking experience can be enjoyed alone or with another player. The cooperative action is where it shines, and I loved helping my girls cut, fry, mix, and sort every ingredient. On top of this, things become gradually tougher as new recipes are unlocked or you attempt to beat your highscore.
The Tiny Chef Show: Cooking with Fwends is perfectly safe.
Unlike other gaming platforms, Nex Playground is completely safe. There is no stranger danger, no online action, and no risk of talking to the wrong people. Therefore, parents can leave their children to play with the knowledge that they will come to no harm. Well, I say no harm, my kids hit one another repeatedly as they sliced vegetables, but you get the idea.
The action focuses on the herbivore chef and their plant-based recipes. At first, you’ll have a small choice of meals to cook. However, as you become accustomed to the madness, you’ll test your skills with fresh ingredients, interesting cooking methods, and an array of fun on-screen tasks.
It was the multi-stage approach and varied gameplay that kept things exciting. The Tiny Chef Show: Cooking with Fwends keeps you hooked with its gentle learning curve and slight sense of competition. In fact, had there been a player vs player competitive edge, I think this would have been better still. Sadly, this wasn’t to be, and I was left helping my kids instead of trying to beat them on every stage.
The Tiny Chef Show: Cooking with Fwends looks great.
The motion detection system works amazingly with this title. The Tiny Chef Show: Cooking with Fwends highlights your hands with its simple, coloured orbs. Furthermore, it is easy to stay within your area as each ingredient moves across the screen smoothly. The varied items, vibrant colours, and simple but effective backdrops bring this to life. Additionally, the weird chef was amusing and a perfect replica of the TV hero.
The audio was as upbeat, fun, and exciting as you’d expect. The child-friendly music and sound effects will bring a smile to your face. Additionally, unlike other child-focused games, this one isn’t annoying. Therefore, you can listen to the soundtrack and the noises without wanting to scream.
Brilliant controls.
I wasn’t surprised by how easy this was to play. The Nex Playground is a responsive machine that puts every other motion-controlled idea to shame. The camera is responsive, and your movement is captured perfectly. Consequently, you’ll be cutting, cooking, and sorting ingredients with ease.
Replay value depends on your love of the TV series and your desire to beat every highscore. My kids would play this for hours without batting an eyelid. Adults, on the other hand, may find the repetition a little tedious. Subsequently, replay value is questionable, but they have got the gameplay balance just right.
The Tiny Chef Show: Cooking with Fwends is a great addition to the library.
The Tiny Chef Show: Cooking with Fwends is included with your monthly, quarterly, or yearly subscription. Therefore, even if you play it sparingly, it is still great value for money. The simple ideas, colourful imagery, and fun audio make this a great addition to the library. Accordingly, I love it, and I recommend getting your pass here! Can you master every recipe? Cut the ingredients, avoid one another, and become a cooking genius.
