Worth buying? What 193 Steam reviews say.

US Steam price, checked 5 h ago

The verdict

A funny, frantic pizza-shop-plus-black-market sim that shines in co-op, but solo play is stressful and content runs thin. Skip it if you want a relaxed solo game with deep late-game content.

Great for

Groups of 2-4 friends who like frantic Overcooked-style co-op, crude humor and Schedule 1-like loops

Main risk

Solo play is overwhelming and the loop turns repetitive with little late-game content

What players love

Great fun in co-op with friends

“when playing with multiple people there is enough to do that one person is just stood around doing nothing like you see in a lot of multi-player sim games”
