Summary

Vr games are releasing at quite a pace now so crossovers and copy cats are bound to happen. I’m Hungry is a game where you serve customers from your fast food shack, against the timer you are looking to get cash and upgrade equipment. The controls are easy to use and the core gameplay is fun but it has a lot of drawbacks. First off you lose a ton of time thanks to slow walking customers, the shop shuts the instant the timer runs out and not when you start/finish the order. Any mis grab costs you big time and overall the gameplay never really changes. I’d say it’s a game you would play solid one or two nights and then never go back, it’s a gimmick but one that is available elsewhere with more variety and length. It’s not a bad game or a great game it’s just alright.
