Overcooked! 2

Overcooked 2 much like its predecessor is a fun and chaotic experience that truly excels when played with a group. While you might argue this is just more of the same, there are enough tweaks and changes to the formula that help keep things fresh for returning players. A hard recommendation if you’re looking to operate your own kitchen, but gather some friends and you’ll be hard pressed finding a more exciting co-operative time on Switch.

Overcooked! 2 didn’t slake my hunger for additional Overcooked! goodness as much as I would have liked, but that doesn’t mean that it isn’t a dish worth remembering. Despite my issues with its proverbial over-salting, Overcooked! 2 still stands rather proudly as a fun, frantic, and well-made party game. And, while I don’t know that I would be as eager to dig back into this game as I was with the first (metaphorically speaking, anyway), I still enjoyed my first serving of it. You know, mostly.

It has notable improvements, from throwing and catching food to some ludicrous and creative levels. It also has its downsides when some gimmicks get in the way of a good time. It's not the sort of game that'll be enjoyed much if played solo; but if you're on the lookout for the next great party game to strain all your friendships, then look no further than Overcooked 2.
