![]() These range from sushi, to a couple of the sequel’s more elaborate additions - flapjacks and cakes. In addition to boasting a larger lineup of chefs, Overcooked! 2 also replaces the soup recipes that so heavily permeated the original and swaps them out for a much more diverse lineup of dishes. You can pick your chef from a number of cartoony options, both human and animal, and unlock more as you progress. You can jump into either a local or online multiplayer mode with relative ease, and decide to face off in a cooking throw-down Iron Chef style, or choose to band together to crank out as many food items as possible within a 3 minute span. Following completion of a stage, you’ll be awarded 1 to 3 stars, the latter of which usually requires a synchronized assembly line born of teamwork and ample communication. The rate at which you accumulate points will depend on how quickly and orderly you assemble these items. You’ll often have to prepare these items by way of chopping, steaming, frying, and/or baking. You’re immediately put on the clock as you and at least one other chef must scramble to whip together a laundry list of varying dishes. After 20 minutes or so of stumbling around, dropping food on the floor, burning things, and falling down pits, it all clicked, and the game’s enjoyment elevated massively.Įssentially, you’re tossed into one of a number of unique kitchens, complete with an array of cooking tools and crates full of food items at your disposal. Not being well-versed in Overcooked culinary arts myself, there was certainly a learning curve that I had to shake off with so much going on around me. The controls are pretty simple and only require the use of a few buttons for the main commands. If you’ve played the original it likely won’t take much for you to jump right into the action and get acquainted with the frantic multi-tasking the game demands. Taking its cue from the first entry, this sequel utilizes the ingredients of what made Overcooked so enjoyable and adds some delectable additions of its own, including online multiplayer. I mean that in the best way possible, by the way. And yet, Team 17’s Overooked! 2 manages to capture it. I never thought I’d experience a game that so authentically captures the stresses of being a chef at a bustling kitchen - or at least what I presume those stresses would be like.
