    Soup, pizza, and burgers! The craziest co-op experiences. Overcooked 2 is a must-have for all co-op lovers.

    I hate to be that guy because I absolutely loved the first game and played coop with my girlfriend constantly. We probably deleted our saved game half a dozen times to start anew because the game was always challenging and exciting even if you knew were already experienced in that level.

    Sadly, Overcooked 2 is just TOO EASY. There's no challenge at all. You end up a level feeling like you did a terrible job and still get three stars. That means there's no excitement and no reward for doing a good job or improving.

    We've beaten the whole game without failing in more than 4 levels, and still managed to get 3 stars in a couple of tires at least.

    Here's hoping that they will add a hard mode and fix the online multiplayer so I can change my score to a 10.    … Expand

    I will say it right now – if you liked the first entry, you should buy Overcooked 2. No need to read the rest of this. However, if you never had the opportunity to play the first, let me tell you what you can expect from this.

However, if you never had the opportunity to play the first, let me tell you what you can expect from this. It’s one of the most stressful co-op games you’ll ever play, should you choose to play with others. And while the entire story mode is definitely able to be completed in single player, you lose a lot of the majesty that makes the game so fun. You’ll find yourself yelling things out like “I’m grinding the meat, give some flour,” and in a household that barely makes something more substantial than ramen, it’s comical. If you thought Mario Party was the game to play to ruin your marriage or friendships, clearly you haven’t played this.

    The game comes with a huge assortment of characters to play as, with a number of them being unlockable. None of these have any sort of advantage over the others that I’m aware of, and every time you boot the game it’ll randomly select a new one for you, although you can certainly choose whoever you want. The characters you may already be familiar with are back, but this time you are facing hordes of zombie bread thanks to a pretty famous book with a slant for food – you won’t find a boomstick here though. Instead, you’ll be appealing the masses with your cooking skills, and those skills will be put to the test in the most dynamic kitchens of rather precarious natures.

    The majority of this game will be spent cooking food and keeping up with customer orders, whether you tackle it alone or with up to three others. If you’re playing alone, you will control more than one character, as this is essential for levels that split up the characters. Earlier on this will help with productivity when one is cutting up food as the other washes dishes, for example. There’s always something to be done in this, and wasted time is wasted money, which is essential for progression. The introductions of how the mechanics work are much more polished this time around, as is everything else. It’s almost as if this was the game the original wanted to be, and now that the team had the money they could actually create what they set out to make originally.

    If you thought the levels were a bit out there in the first one, you haven’t seen anything yet. The first stage to really get me was 1-6, which has you cooking in a hot air balloon. Soon the winds pick up, moving the setup of the kitchen, which is pretty ordinary for the game. Then the thunder and lightning sets in, and soon you’re going down and in a completely different kitchen with an entirely different course being served. It’s really something to experience; it’s like an Uncharted moment within a silly game about cooking. I expected the craziness to be amplified, but my imagination completely undershot what the team came up with.

    Outside of the levels proper, the game brings back the world map that you’ll drive around. This time there’s a bit more to it, with switches to find in order to progress through the minor labyrinths the game offers, especially with the secret levels. That’s right, there are secret levels to be unlocked if you meet certain conditions, and these are the hardest challenges you’ll face in the game. While I got three stars on 1-1 through 1-6 without issue, I scraped by with one on the hidden level. Granted, all these levels I only played once, but still, that trend continued as the game got progressively more difficult – and that spike happens real quick. If you found the music from the first game to be charming, prepare your ears for more of that, as it’s an absolute joy to listen to while cooking and exploring the beautiful world map.

    If I had to pick one downfall for Overcooked 2, it’s that it doesn’t cater to people with poor coordination. This is a game that demands you have an intimate knowledge of the controls and can either swap between two characters yourself with the utmost precision or have decent communication skills. Of course, that negative can be turned positive by this game improving them. In addition to the local multiplayer (you can split one controller if need be), the game offers online functionality, which I barely got to test with the limited player base at the moment. However, the match I played was a bit laggy, but that was likely from a poor internet connection. Adequate communication online seemed to be lacking though, which is a big hit to the success of this mode.

    If you’re looking for a multiplayer game that’s family friendly and sure to raise the heart rate of anyone that plays it, I can’t think of a better title. Overcooked 2 improves on every aspect of the first, and is truly a wonderful experience. Although I can say that after a very stressful day of work, it’s not exactly ideal for winding down.    … Expand

    Some of the craziest and most memorable co-op experiences I've ever had. My fiance and I loved the original, and Overcooked 2 improved on the concept in nearly every way. The levels and graphics are more polished, the new 'throw' mechanic is hilarious and hella useful in a pinch.

    Awesome game, they have improved in every aspect i can think from the first game. Me and my girlfriend have had a great time playing this one. I can't understand the backlash some people are giving this game. The only thing i have missed is online coop in story mode, but i understand that would be too much to ask.

    OK, so I loathe this game but at the same time I am a victim of its charm.
    My partner loves it and because of that I find myself getting into it.
    Yes I've platinumed it and all the DLC yet still find myself playing it.
    Its got a ton of problems with the controls and overall unresponsiveness of it.
    Is it a great game? No. No way
    Is it a fantastic co-op experience, yeah, yeah it is.

    Al igual que el primero es ideal para jugar acompañado, es muy divertido y llega a ser desafiante.
    Añade algunas cositas y diria que es un poco más largo que el primero, lo cual es de agradecer porque es un buen vicio de juego.

    Great co-op game. Played with my girlfriend and had a great time, although the 4 stars are way too hard, especially considering on some 3 stars were far too easy. The challenge increase is immense and should be balanced a bit more

After the main story, there isn't really much stuff to do, only Arcade (1 or more players) and Versus Mode (2 or more players), Practice and Survival Mode, and at last, for every level there is also an optional fourth star to be achieved.
    All in all, there are really some great levels (and some of them can be frustrating), but all this won't last long, as the game's main story can be completed in several hours, if you aren't going for the DLCs which in my opinion should've been there from the start.    … Expand

    比前作在画面和玩法上优化了很多，本作操作更清晰了，指哪打哪没有前作的飘忽感，而且可以做的菜花样多了很多。
    关卡整体还是比较好拿到3星的，但是4星几乎就是不可能完成了，主线完了之后后续更新了中秋节圣诞节等免费关卡，质量跟主线一样好。街机模式也很好玩，可以随机选关卡进行。
    付费DLC全部在打折期间购入，对于打折后的价格是可以接受的，每个DLC都有其特别的主题、菜品和玩法。尤其是Night of the Hangry Horde，虽然最贵，但是耐玩度最高。除了传统的关卡之外还有很多生存关卡：抵御僵尸面包的入侵。其他DLC也都非常不错，原价的话还是有点贵，建议等打折。 解锁厨师的那个DLC个人觉得没有必要，因为只有厨师，没有新的关卡。    比前作在画面和玩法上优化了很多，本作操作更清晰了，指哪打哪没有前作的飘忽感，而且可以做的菜花样多了很多。

    My wife and I love this game. We have platinumed it together and keep checking for the next one. It will lead to situations where you are yelling at one another then start laughing at the hilariousness of each other’s lack of skill.

    It is fun and getting 4 stars on all levels is a fun and rewarding challenge.

    Just as the first instalment, the game is massive fun when played as a couch co-op! Levels are easier though, and there is an additional arcade mode which you can play if you've finished the story mode and want to play more ;)

    Is Overcooked 2! worth the purchase? I would say it is, for sure. The story and writing may be a bit over-the-top and punny for my liking, but there are certainly people out there that will have some fun with it. So whether you’re a cook for the ages or a master of the macaroni and cheese, Overcooked 2! is certainly worth picking up.

    The original Overcooked is a cooperative masterpiece and this sequel simply tried a little too hard. It's still enjoyable but the frustrating stage designs and easy scoring system make for a far less satisfying meal.
