    Overcooked and the Nintendo Switch are really a perfect match of frantic co-op cooking and a games console that’s all about taking games on the go and sharing them with people. Right now it’s difficult to wholeheartedly recommend this version though, given the widely reported frame rate issues. Here’s hoping they can cook up a fix sooner rather than later.

The biggest issue is the performance. They targeted 30fps but it chugs along at 15. There are input lag issues too. I go to pick up a plate and end up repeatedly picking it up/putting it down due to input lag.

    The difficulty curve is too steep. There's no time to master anything or even get used to a new gimmick before they're throwing something else at you in the next level. Maybe the input lag and performance issues messed with their ability to balance the difficulty. Seems likely.

    If they fix the performance issues then this is an 8 or 9. Until then, I can't recommend it even though I really wanted to like it after looking forward to it for so long.    … Full Review »
