Apparently eating Pokemon wasn’t enough for us, as this week we’re curious about which game has the best food. Whether it’s something normal humans eat, or something you know in your heart must taste incredible even if it doesn’t normally qualify as “food”, it’s time to scoff your face and tuck into gaming’s best gourmet offerings.
Let’s hope James doesn’t want to commit more ‘ethical cannibalism’...

My one regret of playing Odin Sphere: Lefthraisir was that it was on the Vita and not a big TV where I could drool over all the delicious-looking food. It’s a big part of the game, with you being able to eat various foods to give buff your abilities, or head to a restaurant to get even fancier meals.
With the traditional Vanillaware handpainted art style, every berry, cake, and root looks incredible. While the usual litmus test for ‘delicious 2D food’ is Studio Ghibli, I’d argue that Odin Sphere’s looks even more gorgeous than the likes of Ni No Kuni or Howl’s Moving Castle.
Now excuse me, I need to go and eat random berries I found in the woods.

If a game has food that looks so good you want to go out and cook it, then it’s probably a winner. Skyrim’s sweet rolls are enticing, sure, and Cooking Mama does get me in the mood to bake what will inevitably be a disappointing batch of cookies, but Final Fantasy 15 has photorealistic dishes that look so good people have used the game as their own personal cookbook. The best curries in games, fried eggs that make me embarrassed of my own, and even sandwiches that put me to shame - Final Fantasy 15 is a culinary triumph.
