Quick verdict
The Chocolatier series of games are kind of Tycoon Lite games. Easy to learn, fun, addictive and, just like fine chocolate, they will keep you awake and coming back for more!
What's it about?
You play as a 1920s entrepreneur. A family of chocolate makers is in crisis and guess who has to save the day?
Your mission is to reunite two lovers separated by the family crisis. But of course, life's never that simple. To do this, you must buy out the family by taking over the business from the ground up.
Travel the world, researching recipes for bigger and better chocolate with, you guessed it, secret ingredients sourced from the most remote corners of the world.
You must balance your inventory, buy shops and factories, implement new recipes to keep the customer base interested and your prices higher and solve missions.

Most are fairly straightforward and all revolve around chocolate!
Fun mini-games dictate your factory's output, breaking up the general 'moving around selling chocolate' grind.

Pros and cons
+ Very shallow learning curve. Story mode is especially good at keeping the plot moving while teaching you the basics you'll need to be a success.
+ Extremely addictive gameplay. The mini games are challenging, especially when you end up juggling six ingredients.
+ People usually put off by the fine detail of spreadsheets and finances in Tycoon-style games will enjoy the streamlined business model.
- Graphics are a little clunky, especially the people.
- If you struggle to master the chocolate-making mini games, your factory output will suffer. They should have included a way to pay for better output, or a baseline minimum chocolate production figure for ham-fisted players.
- Pralines mini game is MUCH harder than the others.
- People who LOVE the fine detail of spreadsheets and finances in Tycoon-style games will find this overly simplistic.
The verdict
Chocolatier 2 is an excellent value GamePass credit or purchase. With a rich story mode and free play mode, you will be kept busy for many a happy hour.
