It’s much better to jump into a level with a friend, fail as you figure out what’s going on, develop a strategy, get into a fight when that strategy falls apart, and then ultimately come together for a resounding victory. The levels are designed in such a way that it’s possible, but only barely, to achieve your goals alone. Let’s be clear, while cooking in reality can be done alone and, considering I’m often sent out of the kitchen for being in the way, often is best done alone, Overcooked! 2 is a game for friends. These levels take the simplicity of cutting, cooking, combining and plating and obliterate it, replacing the simplicity with a dire need for complex strategy. At least, it does until you start cooking on rafts, in kitchens divided by conveyor belts, on moving trucks and inside a hot air balloon. My only experience with a professional kitchen is watching Top Chef, but I guess it seems pretty accurate to how things work anywhere.



In each level, you’re tasked with combining and cooking sets of ingredients, plating them and then sending them out to be served.
