Yes, it’s a bit scrappy at times, but once you get hooked on its gameplay loop of farming, crafting and cooking, it hardly matters. Funny dialogue, quirky characters and a bizarre but enjoyable story set Epic Chef apart, and although it’s not going to set anyone’s world on fire, it’s plenty of fun while it lasts.","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.gamespew.com\u002F2021\u002F11\u002Fepic-chef-review\u002F","2021-11-16","7\u002F10",70,{"id":53,"author":54,"outlet":57,"summary":63,"review_url":64,"review_date":65,"original_score":66,"normalized_score":14},83566,{"id":55,"name":56},6667,"Marie Pritchard",{"id":58,"logo":59,"name":60,"website_url":61,"score_format":62},129,"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.criticdb.com\u002Fstorage\u002Fv1\u002Fobject\u002Fpublic\u002Favatars\u002FOutlets\u002FStart-Menu-Logo.jpg","StartMenu","https:\u002F\u002Fstartmenu.co.uk\u002F","unscored","Aside from the saving issue, I was surprised by Epic Chef.
