The gameplay in The Mixologist is very simple. You start a shift at the bar, make a few drinks to earn some money, and then the shift ends. Sounds simple, right? Obviously, nothing is as simple as it seems.

At the beginning of the game, the gentleman behind the bar gives you a brief briefing.

At random intervals, customers come up to you, order drinks and wait. And you need to mix the drinks according to the order. Some of them are quite simple and are poured directly into glasses. Others are a bit more complicated and require you to master a cocktail shaker.

This game offers to cook more than 100 cocktails from real life, which you can cook and master. That’s a lot to remember! Not to mention that you need to be accurate in your measurements. Pour, for example, too much alcohol, and you will have to start all over again.

There is also a cooperative part in the game where your friends can visit your bar and ask you to make their favorite drink.

There is some semblance of an increase in progress, which opens 5 different bars as it grows. Each one gives you a new experience to master and demonstrate your mixologist skills.

As with all VR games, it’s all about immersion. Mixologist is no exception, aiming to provide you with a bartending experience from the comfort of your home. With more than 100 drinks to prepare, you will spend a lot of time with the headset to improve and hone your skills.

One thing that will keep you coming back again and again is the fun factor, especially if your friends join you.
