Ma cuisine royale Ps4#
I tackled the game on the PC and PS4 and, on the latter platform, was given just under £100 of in-game currency and extras to play with. But, after six straight Normandy matches, I found myself craving a trip to Mexico.Ī lot of in-game items, particularly the wackier ones, are still linked to how much progress you make and how many achievements you hit. 90% of the time, I found myself roaming around Normandy which, with its handy wall-mounted machine guns, and abandoned houses, is a great area to hunker down in. Annoyingly, you can’t choose whether you leap into the Normandy or Mexico maps, which is frustrating. Even if you stumble across a car you’ll feel at risk – but the key is realising that the rest of your foes are in the same boat, too. There’s a discomforting amount of open space no matter which of Cuisine Royale‘s maps you’re on. Which, if you haven’t paid for or earned additional outfits, will be clad in a rather small pair of pants and nothing else: Your view will also be obscured by your character since, even if you switch into first person mode, the game starts with you staring at your character’s backside.
The scenery in Cuisine Royale is a lot prettier than Player Unknown’s Battlegrounds‘ – but standing around to admire things will get you shot in the head or scorched by the shifting energy field that surrounds each level. Of the various traps you can use, one triggers a zombie invasion of the map which I’m dying to experience first hand. I suspect later seasons will see the addition of more maps and more characters, adding to the current four-character (cowboy, cowgirl, shaman and thunder god) roster. Running around with a grill pan banging against your bumcheeks is good for at least five minutes of childish laughter. Instead, I settled for looting their corpses and running off cackling, with more guns and health-replenishing food I could ever need.Ĭuisine Royale is at its best when it leans into the madness. In theory, that’s a smart, sensible way of keeping players in the game in practice, everyone clears off when they’ve died so my efforts of raising the dead didn’t bear fruit.
That may well be a fallacy, especially when you look through your sniper rifle and see someone bunny-hopping around the landscape, but the reduced population dials up the tension.Īside from solo mode, you can pair up with another player or make a team of four – the latter mode lets you resurrect players by carrying their skulls to a bonfire in the middle of the map. Without the initial wave of murders, you get the sense that your foes are more careful, more calculating. There’s a palpable sense of panic as you make a bee-line for the nearest cover you know it’s safer to crawl but the comforting prospect of arming yourself, even if it’s only with a handgun, eats away at your sense of logic.Įqually alarming is the fact that there are only 30 or so players per match you’d think that, compared to PUBG‘s 100, you’d be in for an easier time – but far from it. Supernatural powers do come into play, but they don’t kick in until you’ve stretched your legs and murdered enough players to charge them up.
And it’s surprisingly entertaining, though it has a couple of rough edges and a degree of grind.Īs is the case with most battle royale games, you start off with nothing but a melee weapon to your name, forcing you to scramble for a ranged weapon of some description. It started life as an April Fool’s gag about a kitchen utensil-based version of PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds and has since morphed into an actual, free-to-play game. None of these appear in Cusine Royale, but it’s a positive step towards the Saints Row Royale game I’ve been craving.Ĭuisine Royale is an odd beast.
