One outstanding example of this, and an example of a game that involves some cooking, is the iconic SIMS.Ĭooking games makes people feel as though they’re a chef living vicariously through the game – that’s why they’re so addictive. You simulate the life of someone else and almost live a life through the game. These are what’s known as simulation games. They’re along the same line as fashion games, hotel games, etc. Cooking games are the type of game you could sit and play for hours.
