Overcooked 2 adds some subtle yet impactful wrinkles to the original’s polished paradigm. And, well, that’s pretty much all the excuse you need to start rustling up some five-star treats. The King, who is a talking onion, obviously, commands you to help satiate the unbread’s hunger by cooking as much grub as possible. You’re in Onion Kingdom, and the unbread (zombie bread, which is just bloody awesome and should definitely have their own game) have started rising from their graves.

It’s still bat-shit crazy, it’ll still piss you off at times, but above all, you probably won’t find anything more rewarding and downright fun for a long time.īizarrely enough, there is a story that punctuates the culinary challenges that make up Overcooked’s core experience. Unsurprisingly, developer Ghost Town Games hasn’t really messed with what made the original Overcooked so special. I mean, sure, the sweary chef has had to put up with a lot in his time: irate customers, incompetent staff, and messy kitchens, but has he ever had to cook a meal on a hot air balloon in the middle of a storm? Overcooked 2 taught me an important lesson: Gordon Ramsay has it pretty easy.
