Steam gamers warned they've 48 hours left to grab 21 free downloads

Steam users are in the middle of an ocean of freebies right now, all themed after the culinary art of cooking.

Steam Cooking Fest, like all the other digital festivals, is a special event designed to celebrate cooking games of all shapes and sizes, many of which are banging indie titles you should try.

Marvel's What If...? is getting a third and final season, check out the trailer below.

They range from simulators to party-friendly games similar to Overcooked, and the best news is you can try most of them for free right now.

That said, if you'd rather own the games you play, the Cooking Fest is also providing discounts on all of its included games, so it’s worth checking the lists and seeing what deals you can snag.

There are a lot of games to cover so here are three of the best-rated ones below, as well as a little bit about them.

The first is PlateUp! which is similar to Overcooked in many ways as it’s a top-down game where you’re fighting against the clock as well as each other to serve up food quickly and efficiently.

If you’d like to know more about it, you can do so through GAMINGbible’s own review of the game.

Next on the list is Galaxy Burger, a game about, you guessed it, making delicious burgers for all who’ll sample them.

The aesthetic on this one is very cute, and there are a lot of different burgers to make with many fitting the theme of space.

Finally, we’ll recommend Tavern Talk, a visual-novel game that doesn’t actually involve any cooking, instead you'll essentially be a barkeep in a Baldur’s Gate 3-esque fantasy world, and it’s really rather delightful.

All of the above games are discounted as part of the Steam Cooking Fest, but if you’d like to try before you buy, there are free demos for all of them available now.
