Venba - JokesOnYouISuck's Review & Gameplay [Gamepass]
0Venba is a heartwarming narrative cooking game that takes you on a journey with an Indian woman immigrating to Canada in the 1980s. This short but sweet adventure weaves a touching tale of a migrant family's experiences across generations, touching on universal themes that resonate with players. The game cleverly integrates cooking authentic recipes from Venba's homeland, adding a dash of puzzle-solving as you decipher a heavily damaged cookbook.
The cooking sections, while enjoyable, vary in depth, with some feeling like a walk in the park, while others require a bit of trial and error. Thankfully, helpful hints are sprinkled throughout, ensuring you won't be left scratching your head for too long. However, these cooking segments lack any real stakes, making them more of a leisurely experience than a culinary challenge, and there are only a handful throughout the game.
Venba's music enriches the storytelling, evoking emotions that complement the narrative beautifully. On the other hand, the visuals may not impress, with a somewhat cheap and simplistic presentation. Additionally, the absence of any voice acting can be a letdown, slightly diminishing the overall immersive potential of the game.
Clocking in at around 90 minutes, Venba offers a concise yet impactful story, providing a glimpse into the struggles and triumphs of an immigrant family. While it leans more towards a visual novel than a full-fledged cooking game, its heartwarming narrative and authentic recipes make it a delightful experience for those seeking a touching tale with a side of cooking flair.
Overall, I give this game 65 percent.
