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 undoubtedly shines in local co-op and the versus arcade modes. New recipes and obstacles provide a fresh challenge for veterans, but it remains approachable for new players with simple controls and short playtimes. The new throwing mechanic, too, adds a new dimension to both strategy and the inevitable chaos without overcomplicating things.

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.
