For instance, there’s one where you start in a hot air balloon that eventually comes crashing down into a kitchen leaving chaos in its wake. The production values are bigger as well with some levels larger in scope than ever before. For starters, Ghost Town Games co-developed it with Team 17 and you can tell the difference as everything gleams and glistens in shiny new ways. The good news, it works marvelously.īut while everyone’s talking about online cooking, there’s plenty more going on under the grill in Overcooked 2 which seperates it from the original. So having such a fun, frantic online experience that everyone can play available across all the major gaming networks is a massive boon for Team 17 and the perfect next step for the franchise. Not everyone’s friends live close enough to drop by for a spot of onion chopping and Overcooked already proved itself as one of the most original, entertaining multiplayer games of the last few years. Overcooked 2 soon becomes semi-impossible solo but it has been tailor-made for well-oiled teamwork. And the recipes are more complex with more ingredients with orders pouring and combo multipliers to help improve your score. The kitchens are far more complex and disruptive for most people to handle solo with floorboards moving like conveyor belts and tiered stages which break up your flow and rhythm.
You’re not going to get very far on your own. True, you still can’t beat the fun and frantic nature of co-operative local shouting – that’s an eSport in the making if you ask me – but it opens up new possibilities for the game.īecause one thing quickly becomes clear in Overcooked 2. I’d actually argue it didn’t arrive soon enough because online multiplayer is an absolute gamechanger for this franchise.
The big question is whether this is all too much way too soon. Overcooked 2 not only adds online multiplayer for the very first time, but everything has had a fresh lick of paint and the steaks have never been higher. Overcooked 2 continues the culniary quality of its predecessor by evolving the franchise in new and exciting ways.
