The value story

The lowest price on record is $0.79, set in November 2024. 47 discounts in the 4 years on record. They run about 90 percent off, roughly 5 weeks apart.

It is pricier than 84 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 83 percent. The games it most resembles do better on the same math. Pumping Simulator 2 ($11.99, scores 84) and Farm Manager 2021 ($3.79, scores 55) both outscore it.

Critics scored it 49. Players sit 17 points higher at 66 percent, which usually means a game that plays better than it reviews.

8 of the 800 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written November 2023 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 44 percent of the 505 reviews written there were positive, against 66 percent overall, and those are 23 percent of everything written about it.

Bakery Simulator is a simulator game where you own and operate your own bakery in a city populated with businesses eager to purchase your baked goods. When I first entered...
Marbled MarionberryRecommendedafter 16hJul 2026Read on Steam
Fluffy Flour Chaos Bakery Simulator is all about meticulous time management, precise measurements, and the chaotic rush of running a commercial kitchen. The loop of weighing out flour, kneading dough, keeping an eye on baking temperatures, and loading up delivery crates feels incredibly satisfying and busy. It's simple to understand the recipes, but managing multiple timers at once while rushing around a hot kitchen...

This game is just a buggy mess. I like the concept and I was having fun with it at first, but there's a lot of issues that make it infuriating and barely playable. I had issues with dough FLOATING and getting trapped under tables just out of reach, making it so I can't complete the order I'm working on without remaking 1-5 of that item all over again. The physics are just inconsistent. Sometimes it double clicks on...
