Super good game, but not one I'd recommend to people prone to anxiety. While CSD2 has a "Zen Mode", even it can be kind of stressful depending on what's on your menu each game day. Having a perfect run is unusual, and the music really gets you into a rhythm of banging out orders fast and trying to time steps in multiple orders properly so you can fill them all just right. Visually the game is quite nice, the food all looks legitimate and tasty, plus the restaurants themselves (and your own once you unlock it) are a blast to look at and decorate. Controls are...good on keyboard, but you may wish to adjust a few of them as that aforementioned rhythm can easily see you serving dishes before they're cooked to the patron's satisfaction thanks to whacking Enter instead of Space.

For you completionists out there, I'd suggest skipping this one. A quick check at global achievement unlock statistics will tell you earning all medals on every level is near-impossible. There are also several forum topics about how crazy hard CSD2 is to 100%.

Cook, Serve, Delicious! 2!! is an easy recommend for around 20 to 30% off, you should get a solid few hours out of the game no problem even if you hate time constraints.
