It's often a comedy of errors, especially with the max of four people, and successfully serving up dishes at all is a triumph worth celebrating. The urgent beeping of food that's about to burn can quickly turn into panicked yelling and possibly a fire. The rest is a balancing act that demands precise communication as well as adaptability, because things usually go wrong. Nothing about cooking is simple except for the controls-each task, like chopping ingredients or washing dishes, requires a single button. It can be hard to figure out how to approach each level, but it's very easy for even the best strategies to devolve into chaos.įailing is just as fun as success, and Overcooked 2 still serves both the party crowd and more competitive players beautifully. Whether alone or with friends, each kitchen poses its own set of problems and hurdles conveyor belts make basic movement more difficult, floating rafts and hot air balloons cause kitchens to shift under your feet, and the sink is usually nowhere near the dirty plates. Like the original, Overcooked 2 takes you from one poorly laid out kitchen to the next, tasking you with cooking as many dishes as possible within a set time limit. And while the added online play can't compare to in-person antics, the new throwing mechanic and a host of ridiculous kitchen layouts make for a delightfully frenetic follow-up to a couch co-op favorite. The fun and chaos of playing with friends is preserved in the sequel, as is the far less exciting reality of playing solo. Like in the first game, simple controls and a cute, cartoony style lend levity to intense dinner rushes where one mistake can lead to culinary disaster. Following 2016's co-op cooking hit, Overcooked 2 introduces a fresh set of kitchens and recipes to conquer.
