60 of 75 · most liked firstI absolutely adore HP Space and Weapons shop, so it's very disappointing to admit that I didn't like this one. It's just not very good. The new graphic style they went for was fine, and the comedy and writing is just as good as the other games. However, what this one really suffers from is the actual gameplay. Simply put, it's a very glorified sorting bin. Put the red one in the red bin. The blue one in the blue bin. Once that's done, put them together and wait thirty seconds. That's the whole…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Least fun of the three games. So much repetitive micromanagement for too long. 90% of the game consists of sorting (you read that right) and the remaining 10% is selecting what to cook from a list of 50 (lower end recipes become increasingly worthless as the game progresses).
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Get ready for the least sweary episode of Hell's Kitchen you are ever likely to see as Daylight Studios return with more potato based puns and cute characters in another Holy Potatoes! game in - Holy Potatoes! What the Hell?! A lot of the elements from the first two Holy Potato games return - The cute characters; The slightly cheesy pop culture references and writing; And the same kind of core "craft items to sell them" gameplay loop we've seen previously. Though, this time, it's the potato…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is probably my favoirte Holy Potatoes game so far, being able to decide the fate of millions of depressed spuds really gave me that morale boost and cooking up dishes for various gods was really fun. i would reccommend this game to anybody, my only problem with it is the difficulty curve is very steep with the game getting very hard in circle 3. EDIT* After going through some more and beating some things I found some really cool things The game gets muchbetter with a TON of little…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Flame-broiled, overcooked spuds In Holy Potatoes?! What the Hell?! you are a dead potato person, a chef in life. You land in Potato Hell as sous chef for a restaurant that serves to sort out potato people into their eternal torment. Well, perhaps not so eternal. See, Potato Hell throws sinners, your fellow potato people, into appliances to be processed into meals for visiting deities. It's a bit like being Hannibal Lecter's personal chef. Every serving day has three phases. Prep gives…

[url=http://gonewiththewin.com/review-holy-potatoes-what-the-hell/]Click for FULL Review Welcome to Dante's Taterferno. If you've come this far you either have a potato fetish, like cooking simulators, dry puns, satire, or all of the above. This, like the games before it, doesn't disappoint in the satire and silliness. In addition to that we are treated to an actual cooking sim, with increasing levels of complexity and required detail. Intermixed with…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Holy Potatoes! What the Hell?! Disappointed me. Unlike the other 2 games of this series, this doesnt fit. The graphics got changed alot. Like ALOT. It looks like its on 20 fps and the gameplay is decent but theres no twist. Also, the storyline is not like the other 2 games. The storyline is very very cheesy and boring, and I do not suggest this game, but I just the first game made for this series, Holy Potatoes! A Weapon Shop?!

(dont be put off by the lower price this is still a full HP game) Probably the 3rd best of the 3 with space coming first, but I would recommend picking these up in release order to see how the franchise has come along. just reached the 4th area of 9 i believe and difficult start to increase with planning and strategies recognised form the first 3…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →"Holy Potatoes! What the Hell?!" is a handheld (Nintendo Switch)/console game that's also been put on Steam as a bit of an afterthought, as it's very much designed for the handheld/console gaming audience. This is a very weak premise stapled to a very weak game... basically a busy clicker/platespinner, you run a "restaurant" in "hell", sorting potatoes etc and juggling your stats to, well, I don't know what the point of the game is. I think when games are this bad, it's a bit like global…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Wow. I really, really, wish I had played this game as soon as I bought it, just I could realize how awful and soulless this is and then return it. There are no mechanics - match the sin with the cooking device, that's it. The original game had flaws, but god, this is worse then playing with those educational toddler games where you put shapes into matching holes. The dialogue is almost repulsive in how unfunny and cringy it is. The original was cute a lot of the time, but this is so terrible; I…

What the Hell?! is a cooking sim where you cook potato sinners in hell and use them as ingredients for dishes you serve to gods. It's pretty dark, but it has that Holy Potatoes! charm. The gameplay is quite simple: sinners have sins that have stats, you choose which means of torture for the sinner based on those stats. The better your equipment for the chosen stat, the better the ingredient that sinner…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Cutesy management game. Very standard stuff. Basically a sorting bin game; put the red one in the red bin, etc. I can't recommend this game, though, because there's a newbie trap in the SECOND LEVEL, where buying the "lucky processing stations" will trap you with awful ingredients, making you unable to satisfy the customer's demands (they want C- dish quality and up, which requires Good ingredients, which my lucky stations basically never made). On top of this, the game autosaves each day,…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game made me dislike the Holy Potatoes franchise.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Really love this game. Have a good story and easy to play but, it hard at the same time.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Loved the other games, but this one is boring. Extremely repetitive and easily the worst of the series.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I found the beginning alright. Sort the potatoes by paying attention to their attributes, process them and make tasty dishes for the gods. Then, more things to do started piling up: make some into seasonings, use more ingredients for dishes, suddenly all the gods want 3 top tier dishes immediately, now you have to check if the potatoes are on a watchlist, check if they're actually innocent, check if they're dirty and then clean them (which takes far too long to do). And suddenly I have the game…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Compared to the previous games, I found What the Hell?! to be boring, yet stressful. Most of the game you are just sorting potential ingredients based on stats, then choosing recipes to cook based on requests. However, there's really no strategy or skill involved, since everything can be done while paused. However, you can't even relax with this game, since you need to always be paying attention to how you sort. While there are technically a lot of characters to make potato puns, they are…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If you are looking for a casual game, turn back, this game it's not that fun.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Yep, sorry but this got a little too repetitive for me. Pretty much evey thing eveyone says about this game is true. I wish I found as much enjoyment as I did from shopkeeper. I got this on sale and If I know what I did now then, I wouldn't have gotten it, but this one misstep wont stop me from trying another of their games
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →What the Hell?! More like What is this Good Game Doing with Mixed Reviews. 9/10. One of my near favorites that i've written a review for.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →missing the charm of the other 2 holy potatoes games IMO, it didn't really impress me in any way.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The worst of the their 3 games. Got these 3 in a bundle. Not gonna bother buying/playing their next one. Sort the souls of dead people into their respective color-coded cooking machines. Then click the food item the person is asking for to make it. The food is automatically made. Seemed to just be Loki from the Thor cinematic universe. That's it...
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →After I played the previous Holy Potato games I have to admit that I had some expectations. And there were not met. I had so much fun playing Weapon Shop and I loved Space! But What the Hell.. I don't know, it gets boring so fast. Which saddens me, because I was so hyped and the concept is my favourite from the whole franchise. In What the Hell you play a potato chef, who finds himself in Hell™. You have to work your way through the circles of Hell™ and please several potato gods. But the…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Holy Potatoes! What the Hell?! is a colourful, hell-themed cooking management sim. You play as Sweeny Tots, an amnesiac potato chef who is trying to cook his way through the nine levels of hell’s kitchens and get into heaven. It’s the third instalment from local game developers Daylight Studios. The first game, Holy Potatoes! A Weapon Shop?!, was a puntasy business sim where you played as a entrèe-preneur forging hundreds of different weapons; the second game, Holy Potatoes! We’re in Space?!,…

When we were going through our separation, I felt lost and unhappy. I was self-destructive. One day, I was so angry with everything spiraling out of control that I punched a concrete wall in a moment of overwhelming emotion. This resulted in breaking my fifth metacarpal in my right hand—the hand I worked with, played games with, and used to carry my children to bed—the hand…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Worst part of the holy potatoes series with unpleasant mechanics and graphics.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I can't really recommend this game, especially with how much I like HP! We're In Space!, which is a much, much better game. Look into that, avoid this one.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →youre probably here because you loved the first two holy potatoes games. i did too and didnt mind the more critical reviews. well, i should have. this is still a good time waster but dont ecpect anything on the level of its predecessors. its grindy, can became tiresome quite fast and the ui is convoluted. still, cute potatoes, so theres that. manage your expectations, and wait for a sale/bundle or your spuds will taste bitter. valve, we are still waiting for a more refined grading system, at…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →TL;DR Get the game if: - You like the addictive loop in Weapon Shop - You like puns and pop culture references (in potato sense) - You like a darker premise and twist (the first 2 games are cute and colorful as hell, no pun intended) - You are into cheaper indie games Pros - The addictive flavour (no pun intended) and loop from the Holy Potatoes! A Weapon Shop?! is there - Full of starchy goodness and recipes (please do not try to follow these recipes at home, I cannot guarantee your lives)…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Really like the humour and puns in the game. If you enjoyed them in the previous games, this one will surely not disappoint. If you are a player who will not pause and take your time with sorting and cooking, the game becomes really fast paced. The challenge picks up really quickly and I find myself enjoying it alot. Definitely looking forward to play more of it!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →graphic are a huge let down
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Think of "Papers, Please!" but with - cooking - cheerful colors - dead potatoes - potato gods - potato puns - cannibalism - more culture pop references than carbs The gameplay is easy enough in the beginning. Drag potatoes with a big red bar to the red food processor, drag the yellow one to the yellow machine etc. The difficulty quickly picks up when more conditions are added. Red to red but only if the number of red is smaller/higher than X, and you'll only receive a bonus if the number is…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very different aspect compared to the previous games, very creative , fast paced and fun gameplay!

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Cool potato game.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Holy Potatoes! What the Hell?! is a management sim that thrives on eccentricity, taking a premise that sounds like a throwaway joke and stretching it into a fully realized world of absurd culinary punishment. You play as a hapless potato soul thrust into the afterlife, where your duty is not to repent or ascend but to work as a chef processing sinner-potatoes into dishes for a hungry pantheon of gods. It is a strange, irreverent setting built on puns, caricatured mythological figures, and a…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →just very boring. Seemed to lack a lot of the comedy the other games have. much more repetitive
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Holy Potatoes! What the Hell is a handheld (Nintendo Switch)/console game that's also been put on Steam as a bit of an afterthought, as it's very much designed for the handheld/console gaming audience.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game will leave a bad taste in your mouth.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Recommended ONLY if you're into casual games. I believe that most negatives reviews come from people who thought that this game would be something it just isn't. This is essentially a sorting game with a cooking feature plus some humor and lore about the setting. You also get upgrades, new guests and cook-off challenges but most of the game is sorting the sinners. It's a cute little casual game, nothing complicated
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Not my favorite game in this series. The graphics style was also off-putting and I would rather have 2D animation.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great gameplay, which is better than I expected with a name like that. Would recommend if anyone needs to play something quick and jump into!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very repetitive game. There's a bit of story and potato humor between the cooking levels. But the main gameplay loop is just a lot of clicking; clicking on items to cook, clicking to sort the potatoes, clicking in menus. Not very interesting or engaging.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I am not sold on this gameplay or even look of the game. Somehow they lost the original coolness and punning they had with the Spies for instance. I loved that THAT game. However, the thematic setting and the fact that gods are in it, it might just make it barely recommendable. The quality is just so subpar compared to that, that I just cannot recommend it. This just does not hold up in any regard whatsoever.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Its pleasant enough for the first hour or so despite it feeling a bit like a mobile game but then the difficulty suddenly rams up and/or the RNG starts going significantly against you and its just not fun anymore.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Boring AF. Sort this, wait, Cook this, wait. Collect money. Repeat. The game play loop can't even get me through more of the same grind. Struggled to enjoy this, the potato puns and humour can only get you so far; after a while it's just cringe.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →its gross get it away from me
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I tried to speed run through this game as fast as possible, because it felt like a cash grab and it was not good. The plot of their other games feel a lot stronger than this. That said it still took me over 30 hours to beat, because the majority of the game play it pause, unpause, pause, unpause pause, unpause, and the occasional "Ah dang.. I didn't mean to kill that guy. Well too late now." Most of it is just buying the best stuff immediately, and ignore everything else because it's…
