The designs and characters are great, even the ingredients are cute. I have spent so much time just exploring and making food. There is some bugs, but the devs have been really on top of fixing them. Really great from such a small team! I hope they release the soundtrack and maybe an art book?
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →My initial impressions of this game are extremely high. It's so polished and fun for a VR game. There's so many fun characters from the start! The sound and music is great. The graphics are fun, cozy, and cute. The VR controls are very well done. It's incredibly fun to climb stuff, cut stuff, and cook. Really looking forward to 100% this game. 10/10 need more VR games like this. Please make us more.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Umami Grove is a fun game because theres tiny women and also the spider girl suddenly appeared on my hand and spooked me. she also stayed on my hand until i exited the cave and would move her legs when i moved my hand around

Experienced on the Meta Quest 3 You can view my gameplay & early impressions here: https://youtu.be/jqDqSzkeTcc I do recommend this game. It's a cozy cooking adventure game. You explore, meet new friends, get ingredients, unlock new recipes, and cook! The physics is pretty good. The art style is very cute. However, I was getting poor performance on my RTX 3080. Game is running on the Unity Engine. I was…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Just a few first impressions - after waiting many years for this game and having finished about 25% of the game. Hardware used for testing: Valve Index, RTX 3090 (24GB vram), i9 10900K (10cores and 20threads), 32GB 3200MHz ram, Win10 Pro. The graphics are beautiful, tons of 3D grass, feels like a living and breathing world. You'll see several animal lifeforms - birds, fish in the water and much more. Poly levels are very high due to 3D grass and leaves - and there are nice dynamic shadows.…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The winter segment of Umami Grove genuinely knocked the game down 2 or 3 points for me due to some of the absolute worst rock climbing controls I've ever seen in a VR game, but on the bright side it had a very cute mouse.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's been so fun! The game has been on my wishlist for so long and I'm so glad it's out!!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game is a fun change of pace as far as vr games go. Its a very chill go at your own pace kind of game with a cool atmosphere and fun characters.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I finished Umami Grove! Neat game that draws some obvious comparisons to Sushi Ben, but the latter is far more polished and fully-featured. Still mostly a good time, though I really wish the cooking mechanic was more fleshed out. Every recipe is either a stir fry or a soup...
unlabelledView post →This was the first VR game i bought. I'm using the Meta Quest3S, using Steam Link streaming to play and the quality was still so good. The colorful world and characters, the art style and music, its all such a good vibe. I love that exploration is rewarded. Finding golden flowers hidden away made me feel smart despite myself lol. I love the game so far, great job Dev! I learned about your game from your X(twitter).
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I haven't finished the game yet, but I spent two hours straight doing (almost) all the side quests in the first area. It's pretty simple, but fun and cozy. You can explore, do side activity like archery, even fight a boss in the caves, or simply just cook. The cooking mechanics is surprisingly satisfying tho, so if you like allat stuff in VR you should defo try it.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →veri gud game i like cooking in VR! very good yes splendid very masterful piece of work I like it
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →#blutoid #indiegames #VRgames #VR @dominictarason.com 100%ed Umami Grove took about 6 or so hours. As somebody that does not like cozy VR games I really enjoyed this game. The cooking aspect is actualy a tiny aspect of the game. youtu.be/FQFnfYSyrjw?... store.steampowered.com/app/1394470/...
unlabelledView post →A cute Little game about cooking food for little critters and other creatures. The gameplay is simple but Fun. My only complaints are the lack of a seated option, and the visuals are noticeably lacking, with shadow draw distances being extremely short. Other than that, the game is fine for its asking price, if you like relaxing games this one should definitely be on your radar.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is absolutely adorable and a lot of fun! The cooking mechanics feel really satisfying, and I especially love how the cutting system works — it's super smooth and engaging. Player movement also feels great, making it a joy to explore and interact with everything. Overall, it's such a versatile and charming game — definitely worth checking out!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →For a short cute VR experience this is a very impressive product. Graphics are nice, everything is smooth and responsive. Characters are cute and interactive. Sadly it's only an experience, there is barely any actual gameplay. Eventually you will cook every recipe, of there are not that many, and other than that all there is left is to experience every bit of content there is, and this seemingly 'just cooking' game has a lot of fun little set pieces. Overall, worth your time.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very cute little collectathon with cooking theme and adorable anime girls to feed. A lot of soul poured in, very nice VR interactions.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →So I've played this game for an hour or so and its impossibly cute, I loved every second of it and I havent even gotten halfway through this. You will NOT regret getting this game at ALL. Cozy, Atmospheric, Cute Characters, Incredible World Design and great cooking stuff. I cannot stress this enough BUY THIS GAME
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Umami Grove is an amazing so far, full of beautiful scenery, endearing and intriguing characters, fun little stories, and plenty of gathering, exploring, and a little bit of everything else. it's cozy, it's fun, and i recommend everyone try it! Also, i would die for Paprika.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is what a cozy game should be. Nothing is really repetitive, and it is quite nice to explore around the different zones. Not very far yet, but I'm sure I'll play this til the end.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →best flicken game ive ever played ever. i NEED a sequel or a dlc just to have some more of this game.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Super cute and cozy game! There are a good amount of fun minigames too, to help break things up while you're out searching for ingredients.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Umami Grove is a very cute game. I fell in love with the characters. The cooking is is nice. The pan works really well. Gathering ingrediants is fun and the overall gameplay is fantastic. A nice and relaxed game to play and enjoy after a hard day at work
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game makes me feel cozy. Simples
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I loved it. Made me a bit dizzy though,but the game overall was a lovely experience.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A sweet, cozy adventure with cute characters with one of the best casual movement systems in any VR game. If you enjoyed Garden of the Sea, you'll love this game!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →a nice cooking adventure with a great story.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I've been neglecting my VR space way too much. Gonna fix it up this weekend and try that Umami Grove game and maybe a few others.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Regret buying this. Stay away or read other negative review in other language via translator, they explained why I DO NOT recommending this tech demo, even with a huge sale. (Got this game sub 10 Eur)
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →10/10 Even tho i had some minor bugs where the ingredients just flew away after i cut them up, or my hands became invisible, i loved the game from start to end. The graphics are just perfect for this cute experience, the music made my fully chilled. The cerativity with the ingredients and the recipes are top. And the characters are hella cute!<333

unlabelledView post →This is the cutest VR game I've ever played I absolutely love this game.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I love this already. Cooking, little cute things that I may or may not have had the instinct to try and stab them the moment I got a knife.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Works on Reverb G2. Disclaimer: I've received this game for free via Curator Connect. Umami Grove is a charming little adventure centered around exploration, cooking and minigames. It is fun to play for a few hours, despite slightly shallow game mechanics. While cooking looks like the main activity, it is quite basic and serves mostly as a reason to search for recipe ingredients all over the map. So if you are looking for a VR cooking sim, this is definitely not the right game. Other…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Chill, relaxing game exploring world and collecting ingredients with some puzzles and platforming. Funny characters.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Really cool mechanics, cute characters and a bunch of fun minigames! The ingredients were a neat mix of real life foods with some having their own reasons to use not just for cooking. The worlds are based off of seasons with their own music and challenges. Story is a little on the shorter side but for someone not used to VR, it will likely take you a couple of sessions to get through it. There is also more to do after the game if you have not completed everything too. All and all, it was a…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Take a peek at my curated VR review page! https://store.steampowered.com/curator/44403058 From the little I was able to gather on my short time in the Grove, it's a super cute, whimsical tale of adventure with your pallet. The colors are rich as are the flavors and the music is relaxing. I do plan on playing more as there are multiple biomes and plenty to explore and do. achievements are great and make this another title ill be adding to the VR home. I'm sure over time this title can only get…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A relatively short, but very entertaining, cozy, charming little game about exploring colorful locations for ingredients to then make into mouth-watering (and often bizarre) meals - which small monstergirls politely request of you. The music and aesthetics give the same comfortable vibe as Stardew Valley, and there's a good variety of foods for you to make, with preparation that isn't so challenging as to make it frustrating at any point. If I had to make any criticism of the game, it'd go for…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →after some time i have to say this is a wonderful game. at first i had problems relating to the memory leaks but after the devs released the openxr branch, it was smooth sailing from there. incredibly smooth gameplay, the graphics have a wonderful style that makes the world look beautifully artistic. the character designs are cute and perfect for the worlds, and the maps so far have been fun to explore. physics could be better. many environments have divots, making it sometimes difficult to…
