A good chunk of the heavy resource management in this game has to do with food - quantity, type, amount, everything. It is brutal and wonderful. The expanded cooking system in the DLC is also nice.

No. In fact, it would clash tonally & mechanically pretty horribly, which is unusual for a singleplayer arena shooter.

Abiotic Factor uses many 2010s-style survival elements, so your hunger is always draining and managing food is a constant concern. There is a fairly basic but well-executed cooking system worth using.

Food is rarely present as a healing item, but more commonly, as camp supplies necessary to rest up your party. It's not a resource you have to manage due to its sheer commonality, but it is there.

The entire game is focused around catching and selling fish & other creatures, ostensibly as a food source for the locals. Given exactly what you catch, though, you hope they don't eat too much of it.

Food and drink can be consumed for minor health, as well as occasional special variants with extra effects such as movement speed or melee strength. Special shoutout to the burger clicker minigame.

No. And not surprised given that Quake-style magic has never been potions and draughts, and usually more runes and artifacts.

Without getting too into spoilers, food plays a very interesting role in both the gameplay and story - there's plenty of tasty food to be had, and there's sections where it behaves very differently.

The vast majority of healing is provided through food and drink, which gives the game a super casual vibe, with Zortch just wolfing down burgers and soda instead of bandages or health goo. Also, ZAMEK

A wide variety of food is present, and gives the game a lot of character. There's even some surprisingly high-risk rudimentary cooking available (roasting raw game), but I never truly needed the meat.
