ONLINE/LOCAL MULTIPLAYER MADNESS You’ll knead to work together (or against each other) to get the highest score in chaotic local and online multiplayer.įEAST YOUR EYES ON THIS Journey across a brand new overworld map by land, sea and air. Now a new threat has arisen and it’s time to get back in the kitchen to stave off the hunger of The Unbread! You’ve saved the world from the Ever Peckish. Hold onto your aprons … it’s time to save the world (again!) One of Overcooked 2’s biggest overhauls is the throw button, and it’s truly a game-changer.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. Food can be thrown directly onto burners, cutting boards, or into the hands of teammates, which removes some of the tedious back-and-forth of the first game. For instance, with pasta recipes I’d start off by chucking two helpings into pots, freeing me up to move on to the next ingredient almost immediately. Throwing adds a new and welcome layer of strategy and quickly becomes an invaluable technique to shave off time and complete more orders. One of Overcooked 2's biggest overhauls is the throw button, and it's truly a game-changer. Throwing also makes solo play much better. Like the original, when playing alone you have to switch back and forth between two chefs, assigning tasks like cutting meat and veggies to one while freely moving around with the other. While it’s just as clumsy as in the original, throwing eliminates some of the idle time, making it feel closer to the experience of playing co-op. It’s still more fun to play with friends, but solo play feels natural this time around.ĭon’t worry, though you still have to run around like you’re on fire (well, sometimes you kind of are literally on fire). Since only raw ingredients can be thrown, final preparations of dishes still require a fair amount of scrambling. The addition of the throw button doesn’t necessarily make the cooking process easier, though. Overcooked 2’s kitchens have many more moving parts that, without the ability to lob food, would render some of the layouts virtually impossible to navigate. Even with that ability, they’re challenging. If you thought Overcooked’s kitchens were off-kilter, the sequel’s are downright silly. With moving platforms galore, wandering ingredient tubs, random fires, windstorms, button-operated conveyor belts, and portions of kitchens that disappear before your eyes, there’s a lot to juggle that could foil even the most well-thought-out strategies. Unexpected twists and turns are what made Overcooked so fun, so it’s awesome to see that concept expanded upon in interesting ways that maintain that unpredictability – even for those of us who consider ourselves expert chefs. There's a lot to juggle that could foil even the most well-thought-out strategies. Moving walkways alternate between pushing you in the opposite direction and rapidly pulling you forward. Some of these walkways are even suspended across gaps in kitchens, which makes each journey to the other side all the more nerve-wracking.
