Louie Cooks

"If you're not sure if you want to shout 'n sing just yet, simply turn off the audio-option!" This option does not exist in the settings menu for people who don't want to shout or make shrill noises at their computer. It is literally impossible to complete even the first mission because of this. Updated 11/10/2015 at 7:30 PM EST The developer replied to my review to let me know that the "Quick Game" mode allows played to toggle off the Cutie types that require sound to repel. The campaign is still unplayable without a mic, however, so my review still stands.

Yes this game is goddamn adorable and I wish I could recommend it I really do but there are a couple game-breaking issues. This game was clearly developed for convention spaces where the oculus rift was being showcased because it just does not translate well to playing at home. Now, this game uses 2 main mechanics creatively, looking with the oculus, and sound. The looking bit translates very well to mouse, all you have to do is stare at enemies or shake your "head" (or mouse I guess) in order to get them to go away. Sound is the issue here. Despite the game's description claiming " If you're not sure if you want to shout 'n sing just yet, simply turn off the audio-option!" this option does not actually exist. This means that you do require a microphone in order to play which should clearly be stated. The closest you can get without a microphone is playing quick game mode which lets you choose which enemies appear. So in a best-case scenario without a microphone you get to fig...

Came for the cute, got the cute. Though the whole "singing high notes" makes everyone around me think I'm going insane, and it doesn't exactly pick up my high notes. This isn't a cooking game, more like you stare down, yell at, and shake your head at cute animals who try to steal fruit. Stuck on the island part where you have to defend from 50 but I gave myself a headache from singing an insanely high pitch that doesn't seem to work.

Louie Cooks is a gimmick game, and the gimmick is a poor one. The concept is that you are helping a cat cook marmalade out of watermelons and stuff (not how marmalade is made but anyway). Enemies walk in and try to steal your ingredients, and you have to stop the waves of enemies, making this a wave survival type game. The gimmick is that instead of shooting them, you have to scream at them (the game requires use of a microphone, a bit of a faux pas as developers must never dictate to gamers how a game is to be played) or just stare at them or shake your head, etc. So it's like a VR intended gimmick game but "works" in a rudimentary sense without a headset. This gimmick is amusing for roughly 30 seconds, and there's no additional depth or interest in the game beyond that, leaving nothing of great interest to gamers, and that's backed up by pitiful player counts on SteamDB. More on that later. From a technical perspective, the game doesn't meet basic minimum requirements that mos...

I haven't even opened the game. It's just been "running" in the background. I have never seen this game past its trailer. Save me.

An absolutely adorable game, I dont have a mic so i cant progress that far, but its so adorable

The concept is great, but theory is much greater than practicality as the old chestnut goes, the game treats you one of two ways, a throat more sore than a whore, or just expose it to white noise through a phone. The soundtrack is pretty bomb ass but as you'll see it's all good. Needs a touch of work but onto a winner. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OfjHzH-TwaM

I am 32 years old. My ex-wife and I have a daughter together, and we adopted our son together. Both are now 4 years old. When we were going through our separation, I felt lost and unhappy. I was self-destructive. One day, I was so angry with everything spiraling out of control that I punched a concrete wall in a moment of overwhelming emotion. This resulted in breaking my fifth metacarpal in my right hand—the hand I worked with, played games with, and used to carry my children to bed—the hand I desperately needed to ensure I could continue providing. Upon learning the severity of the self-inflicted damage, I became almost suicidal. Keep in mind that just a few months before this, I was the happiest man, with no history of depression or anxiety. I had never experienced anger outbursts, nor was I the type to break down and cry, but I was in a tough situation that truly prevented me from seeing the light on the other side. With nothing better to do, I looked for a game I could pla...

I wish I could recommend it but the whole concept of the game is just shouting in your mic :( It's very cute but not really worth your money unless it's on sale
