Overcooked! 2 - Nintendo Switch

Great sequel to its predecessor. Overcooked 2 added new features that improve upon Overcooked. First, players are now able to toss raw ingredients to one another over a significant distance, hastening the ever need to stay ahead of the orders. You can also play with other individuals via internet connection, though I honestly have not used this feature this far. I did however, play this game with my 11 year old niece and she loved it. Also, the overall chaotic nature of the game is entertaining to watch, even if not actively playing. Overcooked 2 is a game that brings together all ages and skill-ranges of individuals. This game is easy enough that one can pick up the controller and quickly learn and enjoy its gameplay, while gradually adapting to the progressive difficulty of new levels.

I was excited for this sequel since playing the first. However, there are some flaws. There is no option to play 2 vs 2 privately. I don't like the switching character feature on solo play, should have just given you the option to play as one character with a slightly different kitchen layout for solo play. You cannot use another mii account when playing 2 or more. Gameplay has some bugs like items getting stuck or characters disappearing completely. The campaign story is very short, the first game had more stages. You could finish the main game in a weekend. Hopefully the upcoming dlc will fix these issues or add more features. If not, I'm afraid the replayability of this game will be non-existent even with online play.

I'm a big fan of the original Overcooked and I was really happy to get a physical copy (don't ask me why but I prefer physical if possible). This game is really an extension of the previous title. All that was there and more: more characters, move levels, more stars (challenge) per level, more mechanics to mess with your cooking. It is a great 4 player game, and actually even better as 5. Yes, 5 players. The 5th player doesn't get a controller in my house; they are the line cook. They just yell at the cooks and keep the kitchen running. Basically Gordon Ramsay; up to you how nice you want to be.

The first overcooked was a pleasant surprise. It's production values were a bit low, but it was a quality game and quite simply one of the best co-op experiences available. The second game is better in just about every way. The production values are much higher and the new mechanics are fun. The only issue is the game was a bit easier, however they recently added more goals to really push the player to work harder, so i guess you could say that's been fixed. All in all if you're looking for a great co-op game or you loved Overcooked 1, Overcooked 2 is definitely for you.

I'll start off by saying this is INFINITELY more fun when playing with other people/ and even more so with friends. You will scream at each other and you need to develop a strategy for every stage as to efficiently run the kitchen AND get the most points. I find that this game is bordering Monopoly as it pertains to screaming at/losing friends its hilarious. Recommend four waying it with a group of friends over Discord or something. Playing it solo can be a fun time filler as well if you're at the airport and all that boring stuff. Overall, FUN FUN FUN game.

overcook is one of those games that you can play by yourself but there is no fun there (and it's hard). so, grab a buddy or significant other and prepare to hurl insults to each other while the kitchen is melting into a big mess. it's really a puzzle game where you need to have good instruction and order of operation and be able to work well as a team. And do it quickly. OC2 slightly improves the OC1 gourmet edition that the Switch got. I think it's worth having both games in your Switch collection.

If you liked the first game, you will like this one as well. It has a similar difficulty curve, starting simple enough but ramping up to levels that will be frustrating if you are a perfectionist who wants to 3star everything. Some of the levels are even more over the top than the original game. Adding the ability to throw ingredients across the kitchen also adds a new level to strategy. Not recommended for 1 player, its best with 2-4 players. Fortunately, this time there is an online mode just in case you don't have someone at home who can play with you.

I love this game! I really enjoyed the first game as well but it was missing something... Online play! I was stoked to see that the second game was going to add the option to play online with friends, this game is much better that way! A lot of fun with family, friends, great party game! Some levels can be a bit difficult alone, especially if you're trying to get three stars on all the levels, so may not be a good pick up if you plan on playing alone, but I would recommend this game
