Bear and Breakfast

Kotaku staff writer Sisi Jiang noted in their review that Bear and Breakfast unfortunately “lacks the relentless optimism of business sims while not delivering on any coherent critique about landlords either.” But if you close your eyes and spend some time in the hotel management sim organizing your establishment’s buffet and cooking up eggs, you can almost imagine that this game’s main character bear is as dreamy as Jeremy Allen White. Almost!

These unrealistic cooking games should keep you occupied until The Bear comes back some time in 2023, and hopefully they remind you that fantasy is often a lot better than reality. The ramps that start popping up in every specialty grocery store each May never taste as good as everyone promises they will, do they? You don’t really need some guy with tattoos wandering around your life with a hammered chef’s knife, do you? Oh God, it’s too late. I see you’re already drinking water out of quart containers.
