Cooking Roguelike Game Omelet You Cook Has Its Perfect Steam Review Record Ruined by Contrarian Player


Omelet You Cook, a roguelike cooking game on Steam, has been having a great early access it seems. It recently passed 500 player reviews, and every last one of them was positive, making it one of a rare few games on Steam to have 100% positive reviews.

Until today.

As pointed out to us by developer Dan Schumacher of SchuBox Games, the game received its first negative review today. And sure, negative reviews are just part of the deal when releasing a game on Steam. But what really bothered Schumacher is that according to the text of the review, the reviewer didn’t actually dislike the game. They played for 0.8 hours total, 0.2 hours when they posted the review, and wrote the following:

“Game is amazing. I just like to be different.”

IGN reached out to the reviewer for further comment ahead of this piece but didn’t hear back.

“…The biggest impact this will have on Omelet You Cook is losing that mystique of a perfect 100%. That led to some opportunities for Omelet You Cook to be mentioned because it was atypical. But honestly for players coming across the Steam page, I don’t think 99% vs 100% makes any difference at all. Some users like to filter by negative reviews to understand where the pain points are and I have to appreciate that this negative review frames Omelet You Cook in a very positive light.”

It’s long been known that engagement with games on Steam in the form of Wishlists and reviews can be a massive boon, especially for small developers. There are simply too many games, and getting attention on such a crowded storefront is impossible if you don’t already have a built-up audience or a lot of advertising money. Having lots of positive reviews and few negative ones gets games like Omelet You Cook visibility when searching under certain filters or ranking systems, including third-party ones. That’s certainly been the case for Omelet You Cook

“We’re very fortunate and grateful to have reached 507 positive reviews before our first negative,” Schumacher said. “We worked incredibly hard to achieve that with 15 content updates over 5 months. But we also got incredibly lucky and it’s nowhere near a flawless game. There’s plenty of valid reasons somebody might have a negative experience with the game and we’re grateful to all 507 chefs who took the time to write a positive review. Each one helps Omelet You Cook reach a wider audience.”
