I love a good roguelike, and there's no shortage of creativity in the genre. We've got roguelikes in every flavour, from turn-based or action RPGs, to deck builders, pinball, soulslikes, whatever Blue Prince falls under, and even more wacky combinations. And yet, somehow, some creative developers are still finding new ways to spin the true and tried genre.
Searching through the depths of Steam's roguelike category, I stumbled upon one of my favourites yet: Omelet You Cook. Yes, it's a cooking roguelike. Launching in early access back in June 2025, Omelet You Cook somehow went under my radar despite having held onto a 100% review score for months. It's just launched its 1.0 update, and I regret not having checked it out sooner—though now it's perfectly cooked, so I suppose I'm jumping in at the best time. Plus, it's also 34% off until February 22.
