The gameplay of Hot Plates is reminiscent of Overcooked, focusing on ingredient management and cooking at designated stations, but it also incorporates restaurant management elements like upgrades and stock management. While the mechanics are solid and can be enjoyable, some users express reservations about recommending the game overall.
“The gameplay is basically Overcooked (you run around with ingredients, chopping and cooking them at the right station) except you stay in the same restaurant every day and have some additional management options - buy upgrades, manage stock, etc.”
