Overcooked 26/23/2023 Michael Leri of GameRevolution gave the game a 9 out of 10 and praised the game's ability to consistently remain fresh with teamwork-rewarding cooperative gameplay, dynamic level mechanics, and soundtrack. In comparing the title with its predecessor, Andrew Reiner of Game Informer praised the title for its online play and for being less frustrating due to more forgiving scoring and level gating. Johnny Chiodini of Eurogamer recommended the title, writing, " Overcooked 2 may be more of an improved recipe than a completely new menu, but it remains an excellent sequel and a delightful co-op experience", and praised the increased difficulty. Jordan Devore of Destructoid called Overcooked 2 "one of the best co-op titles around" while praising the dynamic level design and frantic gameplay while taking minor issue with the basic recipes and a lack of snappy feel in the Nintendo Switch port. Several reviewers noted that while it did not feel like a significant evolution of the formula established by Overcooked!, it was a strong sequel. Overcooked 2 received "generally positive" reviews, according to review aggregator Metacritic. Atop the base game, the developers created cosmetic add-on content, such as a platypus character costume exclusive to the Nintendo Switch release and a pack of other character costumes as pre-order bonus. It was announced a month prior, at E3 2018. It was developed by Team17 alongside Ghost Town Games, and published by Team17. Overcooked 2 was released on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Windows, and Xbox One platforms on August 7, 2018. The sequel introduces ingredient tossing, such that players can throw items to another chef or pot from far away, and online multiplayer, in which teams can connect either across a local wireless network or through online matchmaking. Other levels transition between settings and recipes, such as one that begins with preparing salads in a hot air balloon and ends crashlanded in a sushi kitchen. Some levels have moving floors and other obstacles that complicate the cooking process, including portals, moving walkways, and impassable fires. The sequel builds atop the original game, which was released in 2016, with new interactive levels, restaurant themes, chef costumes, and recipes. Between coordinating short orders and bumping into each other's characters, the game tends to overwhelm. Players gather, chop, and cook ingredients, combine them on plates, serve dishes, and wash dishes. While a couch co-op setting is ideal, online multiplayer can do the trick if you don’t have enough controllers.In the cooking simulator game Overcooked 2, teams of up to four players cooperatively prepare and cook orders in absurd restaurants. The game is without a doubt best played in groups of two, three, or four players. Overcooked 2 fully supports solo play (you swap between control of two characters), but I don’t recommend it. The more people participating, the rowdier it’ll get. To do well, you need to stay in constant communication. If you can’t seamlessly finish each other’s work, those burgers will catch on fire. But dirty dishes will soon pile up and the kitchen might transform, leaving one of you stranded from your self-set responsibilities. While making cheeseburgers, you might be in charge of prepping meat and frying patties while your partner is on cheese/tomato/lettuce duty. No matter how streamlined your process is, at a certain point, you’re going to have to adapt to avoid bottlenecks. That’s the key - the reason Overcooked 2 is so much fun and crucially stays fun.
