Travelling around the overworld of the Onion Kingdom isn’t really a part of the gameplay so much as just a transition between levels, but you can identify a couple of the tweaks that have been made between this game and the first, and perhaps start to think about the philosophy behind them, just from wandering around on the map. It doesn’t need some super-well-thought-out story, and might even have suffered if one had been attempted.)Īfter learning of the threat of the dread ‘UnBread’, the Onion King decides once again that the only possible course of action to save the world is to deploy a ragtag bunch of cooks who may or may not be professionals – since there are a whole bunch of character skins to select, none of which make any difference whatsoever to your abilities or the gameplay, your chefs don’t get any sort of backstory, so for all we know they’re just a completely unqualified set of people, walruses, aliens, and other assorted beings – to travel the world honing their skills in the many great kitchens of the kingdom.
(That’s not to say that the game suffers for it. The game unfolds with a similar structure: we open with a quick cutscene alluding to the presence of a narrative which is really just an excuse to send our cheffy protagonists off on their culinary adventure – and to make some terrible puns. Overcooked! 2, as you might expect, turns up to work with many of the same tools in its kit as its predecessor some of those tools have been polished a little since last time, while a couple of them are completely new. First, though, let’s dive into the stuff that’s not as easily quantified and compared, and take a general look at the game as a whole. If you’d like a direct comparison between my opinions on this and the first game, by all means just open up my review of Overcooked! and scroll through the 8-bit Review section I’ll be grading this game on the same categories as the original. Since I know that what many people will be wondering is how the sequel stacks up to those lofty expectations, let me quickly sum it up: Overcooked! 2 does more things not quite as well, less of the same stuff better, and fewer things more not less worse. Its predecessor came out of nowhere to quickly become one of my very favourite co-op games, perfectly balancing chaos and frustration with fun and moments of extreme accomplishment running around haphazard and often unreasonably situated kitchens picking things up, chopping them, putting them in pans, washing dishes, and then sending it all out to waiting customers was somehow made magical by some very tight level design and a willingness to let everything reach catastrophic levels of disorganisation in the process.

This is Overcooked! 2, which as you may have gathered by its helpfully denotational title is the sequel to couch co-op cooking chaos simulator Overcooked!. When the worst comes to pass and zombie slices of bread start to terrorise the Onion Kingdom, who can the Onion King and his faithful dog Kevin trust to restore order? Why, a group of one to four chefs which may or may not include a person with glasses, a walrus, a unicorn, an alien, a normal-looking woman, or a raccoon in a wheelchair, of course! “The following is a contributor post by the Sometimes Vaguely Philosophical Mage. Too many cooks will serve a helping of freedom and resist the forces of evil -Too Many Cooks Too many cooks it’s true Some people say it’ll spoil the broth
