When it comes to cooking games, whether it’s a new cooking game or an older one, they are here to stay and rule. Here’s how! 

 

Are you responsible for cooking game downloads to sky-rocket? Which one of these have you played? 

 

Whether it is cooking game apps or online cooking games, fans have thronged every platform to enjoy virtual cooking games. Here is how the landscape has changed over the years.

 

Everyone must eat in order to survive, and eating is a source of genuine enjoyment for the majority of people. Cooking has always been a popular theme in popular culture, and there are a plethora of food-related television shows that draw large audiences. At its peak, Hell's Kitchen had a regular audience of approximately 12 million viewers.

 

Food and cooking themes have, unsurprisingly, been popular in video games. The games come in all forms and sizes, belong to various genres, and cater to a wide range of gamers. Over the years, certain cooking-themed games have been huge successes. But, are they still as popular as they once were?

 

Over the years, there have been a number of hugely popular and lucrative cooking and food-themed games, with some of them making their creators extremely wealthy. Candy Crush from King is at the top of the list when it comes to turning a food concept into a profitable puzzle game. Despite the fact that the game isn`t really about cooking, it does feature culinary themes like sweets, ice cream, and soda. The addictive smartphone game was introduced in 2012 and has been downloaded over 2.7 billion times since then. Many additional games that use a similar gameplay idea with an almost endless number of levels have been influenced by it.

 

Fruit Ninja is a popular smartphone game that has a vast player base. Halfbrick`s game was one of the first-ever addicting games in the smartphone era, with three million downloads within five months after its introduction in 2010. Fruit Ninja encourages players to slash at various fruits as they appear on the screen in order to prevent them from falling. Though not strictly speaking a culinary game, this one may be classified as food preparation if you enjoy slicing your fruits and vegetables with a samurai sword.

 

Overcooked is a well-known game that focuses more on cooking than the games mentioned above. Players had to quickly make meals within a time constraint in this game from Ghost Town Games. In 2016, it was launched for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One, and it received two honors at the 13th British Academy Game Awards, including Best British Game and Best Family Game.
