Most TV show game spinoffs suck horribly and when it comes to reality tv based games, you usually are looking REALLY at that bottom of the bin here. Surprisingly... Top Chef somehow manages to avert this.
Ok dont get me wrong, its not a great game by any means, the animation can be a bit stiff and the gameplay basically is a series of quite repetitive 'dash' style timing maneuvers but its clearly been made with some thought.
This is mostly thanks to the occasional scoring quirk where you not only have to combo dishes together, but you have to make sure you use ingredients that compliment each other to gain bonuses. Its basic but effective, even though sometimes your end meal can be a spinach salad with spinach leaves and a spinach sauce... But thats not the point.
So yeah. Casual breezy fun that'll be a nice aside for fans of the series but anyone wanting something a bit more serious should look elsewhere

This should have stayed lost. Sure theres more content and theres more of everything but when the frame-rate repeatedly shits the bed to the point where the game more resembles a picture book than an actual game, you realise you'd be better off spending your time elsewhere on something more productive with your time.

Heartfelt, compelling and full of twists and turns that play about with the telltale-esque story formula in several incredibly creative ways (chapter 2 for instance is a high point in shocks, turns and unexpected choice concequences)....
But then around chapter 3 it the disguise of choice starts to peel away and by the end chapter its gone completely. Partly because of how the plot goes but also because of the obvious budget issues going into those last two chapters. Its still a heartbreaking and chaotic ride but one that I wish had stuck the landing a little better.
