Review:

Forever Delicious Bundle is a Compilation released in 2025 on Nintendo Switch, containing all four games released so far in the Cook Serve Delicious franchise, released separately on Nintendo Switch in 2019 through 2025.

I have separately reviewed these games. Here is what I thought of each of the games in this collection:

GameGenre# of PlayersScore
Cook, Serve, Delicious!Arcade / Simulation1-4 Co-Op / Competitive (Local)B-
tl;drCook, Serve, Delicious! is an Arcade-style game with some Simulation elements that has players managing a restaurant and serving orders to customers. I think this is a more frantic game than its sequel, and it has a lot less in the way of variety, but it’s still an enjoyable game that’s worth a look.
Cook, Serve, Delicious! 2!!Arcade / Simulation1-2 Co-Op (Local Split-Screen)B
tl;drCook, Serve, Delicious! 2!! is an Arcade-style game with Simulation elements that doesn’t play much like Overcooked or Cooking Mama. It’s more like a food version of Simon Says, with multiple steps for some items. The game does a good job keeping things interesting by having you manage multiple things at once, and it makes for a good co-op experience, although it’s frustrating that it doesn’t do a better job to make important information immediately accessible to players in the chaos.
Cook, Serve, Delicious! 3?!Arcade / Simulation1-2 Co-Op (Local)B
tl;drCook, Serve, Delicious! 3?! is an Arcade-style game with some Simulation elements that has players managing a food truck and serving orders to customers. In many ways, this is the most streamlined game yet in the series, and while this comes with positive and negative qualities, one unambiguously positive addition is the new “Chill Mode” which lets players take on the game’s challenges at a more relaxed pace. Overall, it’s hard to say whether 2 or 3 is the better game, but I can definitely see this being the better pick for more casual players.
Cook Serve ForeverArcade1-2 Co-Op (Local Split-Screen)C+
tl;drCook Serve Forever is an Arcade-style game that abandons the Simulation elements of the Cook Serve Delicious series to offer something simpler, with more of a focus on story as you follow a woman who aspires to be a world-class chef. While this game has some good elements, the lack of depth is disappointing, and it seems to deliberately try to make its core gameplay less satisfying by frustrating players. This isn’t a bad game, but it doesn’t live up to the trilogy that preceded it.

In short, most of the games in this collection are good Arcade-style games with Simulation elements, and 2 and 3 in particular are excellent. The odd one out in this collection is Cook Serve Forever, which pulls up the rear due to more shallow and frustrating gameplay.

Okay, but what are we looking at in terms of value here? Collectively, the included games here would separately cost $78, making this bundle’s $50 price a very good savings. When looking at sale prices, this is still a good deal but by a smaller margin, $12.50 compared to $13.50. In either case, this bundle is definitely the best way to go if you want all four games. That said… if you’re just looking to get the better games of the series, which I would argue is the original trilogy, you may want to consider Cook, Serve, Delicious, Trilogy!, which costs $15 less.

In the end, Forever Delicious Bundle is the best way to go if you want to get the complete series of Cook Serve Delicious series games, which are mostly very good. Well worth picking up if you haven’t gotten any games in this series yet!

tl;dr – Forever Delicious Bundle is a Compilation containing the original four games in the Cook Serve Delicious series, all Arcade-style games about serving food, with the first three of those games also having Simulation-style elements. Overall, these are solid games, and this bundle offers some good savings. However, players wanting just the better games with Simulation elements may want to instead consider getting the Cook, Serve, Delicious, Trilogy! bundle. However, if you want to pick up the entire series, this is a fantastic choice.
