There’s less levels which feel outright aggravating such as the most devious ice and lava levels of the previous game, and more levels designed around memorable set pieces that will make your jaw drop with their creativity.Ĭhallenge now also comes in the form of a revamped scoring and rating system. Coordination is still key for success, and the common appearance of more complicated dishes such as pastas and burritos (where you’ll need to be frying your proteins on one side and boiling your carbs on another) as well as a few new level gimmicks will keep players on their toes.
Thankfully these simple levels are few and far between, and all but disappear in the later worlds. In levels like these, there is far less possibility space for chaos, and it feels less engaging overall. That means two players will do nothing but chop and throw for a whole level, while the other two are busy managing a larger gamut of tasks on their own. In a team of four, two players get placed on each raft and they never meet for the entirety of the level. That being said, there are a few levels which definitely feel limited because of the characters’ newfound propensity for catch – one early one that poses an issue involves two rafts floating down river rapids, one of which has the ingredients and a chopping board, the other of which has the frying pans, plates and delivery area.

Coordinated teams will be able to cut down their cooking time significantly, while more haphazard attempts will lead to cluttered benches and floors full of recklessly thrown food. There’s no bonus for catching a teammate’s throw in midair but it feels great anyway, and unlike in a real kitchen there’s no worry of contamination if it drops onto the floor (evidently this is a world without a food safety inspector).
The added ability to throw food makes some of the terrain-switching levels easier affairs, but it also affords the ability to create levels with uncrossable gaps in which players will need to throw food back and forth. For teams who have done and dusted all the challenges of the first game, Overcooked 2 will fit comfortably in your hands. Each player takes the role of a chef, and you’ll be tasked with chopping up raw ingredients, cooking them for just the right amount of time, assembling dishes and washing up. Every mechanic from the previous game is here, from the strong underlying core loop of time and team management, to the zany kitchens that will take even your best plans out for a spin.
