Do yourself a favor and pick up Overcooked 2 today and spend some fun, cooking filled hours with your friends.Overcooked returns with a brand-new helping of chaotic cooking action! Journey back to the Onion Kingdom and assemble your team of chefs in classic couch co-op or online play for up to four players. Overcooked 2 is a brilliant and chaotic title that should be the standard of multiplayer gaming experiences that developers aim for now, not just on Switch, but across all platforms. It might test the patience of your friendships but if you are all still talking by the end of the journey then good job. The core formula is refined and polished with plenty of new surprises to keep you wanting more. With multiplayer supported in so many ways and countless hours of fun to be had, the title is a worthwhile sequel to an already brilliant videogame. So where does this leave Overcooked 2? Well, other than the mentioned performance hit in character select, the Switch release is solid.
Short load times, responsive controls, fluid action and top tier presentation ensure all players have a brilliant time. Even with the noticeable lag during online play and some drop frames in the chef select screen, the rest of the experience holds up rather well.
It’s nice to be included but to be honest, communication is key in Overcooked 2 so local or wireless play would be a better choice. Lag was an issue when playing even over solid internet connections and the lack of voice chat impacts the experience. Sadly though, online play is not a completely smooth ride. Thanks to featuring local, online and wireless multiplayer options, the Switch version of Overcooked 2 makes it easier than ever to get your friends playing together. Not to mention the many new stages, story and endless repayable value. Movement is more fluid, handling items and now throwing them is tighter and the general feel of the gameplay is on point. The strength of the title comes from building on the already tried-and-tested core gameplay of the first, seeing improvements and features added across the board. Throw in the time limit and stars to unlock through points and you have a recipe for some stressful but gosh damn enjoyable gameplay. Learning to make the dishes is one thing but managing the environments is another skill altogether.
OVERCOOKED! AND OVERCOOKED! 2 FULL
Stages don’t just move around and change, each one is alive and full of character. Speaking of which, Overcooked 2 takes the idea of changing stages and leverages it to new creative heights. In space, no one can hear your food burn. This means players go from cooking a simple, one ingredient dish in an open plan kitchen to rushing around with multi-step recipes on a hot air balloon which then crashes into a sushi restaurant halfway through the level. To make matters harder each kitchen has a unique design and twist on the gameplay which keeps the experience fresh and challenging. Overcooked 2 gives players a rather simple set of controls but asks them to complete complex recipes using those inputs. With knifes and fire extinguishers at the ready, what is the worst that could happen in the kitchen? Following on from the first title, Overcooked 2 asks players to once again put on their chef hat and help to undo a horrible mess that has led to the rise of The Unbread. The ever-popular multiplayer cooking videogame is backed once again with a follow up that turns the heat up on the action. Who knew cooking with friends could be so much fun.
