Our Rating:ĭalton Cooper is an editor for Game Rant who has been writing about video games professionally since 2011. Overcooked 2 is available now for PC, PS4, Switch, and Xbox One. Ghost Town Games is still trying to nail the recipe for the perfect local co-op party game, and perhaps it will succeed if it delivers a third title with more levels that drops some of the more frustrating elements and irons out the lingering technical issues. Overcooked 2 is better than the first game, but yet again, there is room for improvement. The online multiplayer does give the game a bit more replay value than it would have otherwise, but one's enjoyment of that is largely going to depend on who they're playing with. Not only were we able to beat all of the levels in Overcooked 2 in less than five hours, but we were also able to get all three stars on them, on top of completing all of the secret levels. Unfortunately, the nature of Overcooked means that players will likely run into griefers in Overcooked 2's online mode a lot more than they would in other games, but the online functionality is still appreciated.Įven with online play, some may not be completely satisfied with Overcooked 2, and that's because even though there is more content than the original, it's still a little on the light side. One big way that the sequel is better than the original is the addition of online multiplayer, and while it is sometimes hard to get into a match, we found that the online worked perfectly when actually in a game.
It's simply more polished, with sharper visuals, less technical issues (though there were a couple of games where it simply would not let us put ingredients where they needed to go), and more content. Overcooked 2 is an improvement over the original game in other ways as well. Throwing ingredients is a really smart addition to the Overcooked formula, and its absence in the original makes it hard to go back and play it. By being able to toss ingredients to friends or even throw them directly into skillets and cooking pots, players can keep a fast pace in the kitchen, in turn allowing for more exciting gameplay overall. Overcooked 2 doesn't just add new kitchen hazards to the experience the game also adds some new cooking skills, like the ability to throw ingredients, which radically changes the way players will approach some kitchens for the better.
There are other new gimmicks introduced in Overcooked 2 that up the challenge without leaving players with no way of continuing their work, like stairs that shift around the room and platforms that players have to move with a lever to reach different parts of the kitchen. That's not to say gimmicks like the fire are a bad idea, it just becomes annoying when players have no way of dealing with the obstacle.
