Overcooked! All You Can Eat Game Review
Check out these awesome new games Ancestors: The Humankind Odyssey, Saints Row, .
The fact that the Nintendo Switch puts more emphasis on local multiplayer is a big part of what makes it interesting and fun. Nintendo has always been the best at this type of game, but the Switch takes it to a whole new level with its portability and at least two always-ready controllers. Even though there are already a lot of games on the Switch eShop that use this multiplayer feature, Overcooked: Special Edition is by far the best one we've seen so far.
The premise is silly and not very important, but it gives the story a lot of charm. At the start of the game, asteroids are falling from the sky and a city is being attacked. Your cooks and the Onion King watch the chaos from a kitchen on a roof. Not long after that, the source of the end of the world, the mighty spaghetti monster, comes storming over to the cooks. It's very hungry. Even though you try your best to feed the monster, it's still too hungry, so the Onion King opens a time portal through which you can escape. The portal opens in 1993, which is a few years before the spaghetti monster comes. The Onion King gives you the job of traveling the land so that you are ready for the end of the world. From that point on, the story mostly takes a back seat, except for occasional visits to the Onion King. However, it does a good job of setting up the "why" as you end up in more and more ridiculous kitchens and situations.
The gameplay is very fast-paced and stressful, much like working in a kitchen with too few people, but it's also some of the most fun couch co-op we've had in a while. In each stage, you'll have to make as many soups, pizzas, and other dishes as you can in a certain amount of time. The layout of each kitchen is different, and there are steps to making things. For example, to make tomato soup, you have to run to the box of tomatoes, then to a board to cut up the tomatoes, then to a pot to cook them in, then to a plate and out the window.
That would be enough as is, but the difficulty comes from how limited your abilities are. You can only carry one thing at a time, and you can't move everything around in the kitchen to get things done faster. Sometimes the cutting boards are all in one room, and to get to the fryers, you have to go through a portal or cross a river. Sometimes there are only three plates, so someone has to keep washing dishes to keep up with the orders. You can only do so much to make sure each kitchen works well, and many of them are made to be as hard to use as possible on purpose.
The game is completely playable in single-player—the difficulty is turned down greatly and you can switch between cooks at the tap of a button—bbut the real fun comes when playing with others around you. Whether you play with full controllers or just one Joy-Con each, it's easy to pick up and use the controls. Since kitchens aren't always set up in the same way, your success or failure will depend almost entirely on how well you can talk to your friends. As orders keep coming in, you'll have to keep asking each other to pass ingredients or pull the pizza out of the oven before it starts to burn. It won't be long before everyone in the room is shouting demands and curses at each other as you all struggle to keep your heads above the never-ending demands. Even so, the funny graphics and chaotic gameplay make for a lot of laughs, especially when you fail in a very funny way.
The most interesting thing about this game is how it changes as you play. No two stages are the same, and as you get further into the game, the gimmicks get more and more silly. Even so, the orders that come in for each stage are randomly generated each time, so replaying the same stage multiple times can still lead to vastly different experiences. There's also a lot of satisfaction in finally getting the hang of a stage by figuring out the best way to get past some of the process's bottlenecks. Each kitchen will give you up to three stars based on how many orders you took, how quickly you filled them, and whether or not any were not filled on time. In some stages, getting that coveted third star can be very hard.
As for presentation, the performance leaves something to be desired, but the visuals and sound are great. You can run around the kitchen as a small dragon or a raccoon in a wheelchair if you want. The colorful graphics have a cartoony, silly look, and the game is meant to be fun. The music can be a little repetitive at times, but it stays with fast-paced songs with accordions and guitars to keep up with the fast pace of the game. HD Rumble is also used in this game, and it's especially helpful in single-player because it lets you know when the other cook is done chopping something up. However, it's not a very important or noticeable part of the game otherwise.
In terms of being able to play it again, there's a lot to chew on here. The main campaign has a lot of stages, and it will take a lot of work to get three stars on all of them. Overcooked: Special Edition also comes with two DLC expansions that came with earlier versions of the game. These expansions build nicely on the original game and add their own new features and stage tricks. Needless to say, you'll have to play Overcooked for a while to see everything it has to offer.
It looks like Team17 and Ghost Town Games are finally "done" with Overcooked 2 after nearly two years of regular updates after the game came out. The developers have provided some excellent additions in the time since launch, and all of it is now tied together with the aptly named Overcooked 2: Gourmet Edition. For the purposes of this bonus DLC review, we'll be focusing more on the content added by the expansions. If you want to learn more about the core game, you can read our full review of it here.
In addition to the full base game, Overcooked 2: Gourmet Edition adds a few themed mini-campaigns and a lot of new cooks that you can use in any of the content. One thing we'd like to point out right away is that all of these expansions add a lot of new content when put together. If you only look at it from a quantity point of view, the DLC content doubles the length of the base game and adds some cool new game mechanics as well. All of this extra stuff could be seen as a soft sequel in many ways. All of it is based on Overcooked 2, but the new mechanics that are explored make it more than "just" themed level packs.
First, we'll talk about the three expansions that come with the season pass. The first one is called Campfire Cook-Off. Here, the cooks trade in their chef hats for much more practical baseball caps and take their cooking skills into the backcountry, where campfire s'mores are king. The deep-woods style here looks great, and small details like the fact that axes are used instead of knives to cut up food add to it. These axes are also tied to a bigger part of the game because you need to chop wood for the fire so you can keep cooking. Some levels also have heavy backpacks that must be worn at all times by your cooks. Each backpack has an ingredient that is needed for the dish you're making. Together, these two mechanics change the normal gameplay enough to make it more interesting. You now have to keep an eye on different cooking temperatures and chase after ingredients.
The name of the next expansion is "Night of the Hangry Horde," and instead of the rustic settings of the last one, it has kitchens with a horror theme. Most importantly, this DLC adds a brand new horde mode that adds some light survival horror elements to the usual arcade action. Here, there is no longer just one delivery window. Instead, there are now three or four, and the hungry Unbread attacks each of them on a regular basis.While the Unbread zombies are waiting for you to finish their orders, they will attack the boards you've nailed over their window. You'll have to keep spending the money you make from orders on new boards, or the zombies will get in and lower the health bar of your castle. Night of the Hangry Horde also adds a few new game mechanics to the main levels. For example, you now have to shovel coal into a furnace to keep the ovens going, and the chopping boards have been replaced with a guillotine that cuts food in an instant when you put it under it. Night of the Hangry Horde is the best of the expansions because it adds new game mechanics and a new game mode. It has everything you could want from a DLC expansion.
Carnival of Chaos, the last DLC in the season pass, lets our cooks show off their skills under the Big Top. Compared to the first two expansions, this one feels a bit more like a rehash, but it still has some cool new features that will make your life hell. The one that stands out is a cannon that can shoot cooks all over the map. To use it, you need at least two people: one to climb in and the other to push the button. Sometimes, you have to aim it right to make sure the projectile goes to the right place. Also, Carnival of Chaos adds the idea of combo meals, which often require the use of new machines for condiments and drinks. Even though Carnival of Chaos doesn't have a "wow" factor that would really change the way you cook, it still has some challenging levels to work through and is a lot of fun to play.
The next important DLC is Surf 'n' Turf, a stand-alone campaign of the same length where your cooks wear swim trunks and serve at a beachfront restaurant. Most importantly, there is usually no sink here to wash dishesn of the same length where your cooks wear swim trunks and serve at a beachfront restaurant. Most importantly, there is usually no sink here to wash dishes. Instead, your cooks must use a nearby water gun to wash dishes and put out fires when they happen. Also, fires for making kebabs are often kept going with the help of bellows from a fireplace. You'd be surprised at how much these simple-looking tools can affect your performance, and the fact that water is almost always present makes the levels in Surf 'n' Turf some of the hardest in Overcooked 2.
The Seasonal Update content was added to the base game for free so that all players could enjoy it. The first of these is a campaign based on the Chinese New Year. Its most important feature is that it adds a new game mode called "Survival" to the game. Here, every successful delivery adds a few seconds to the clock, and the goal is to get as far as you can before you fail. The other part of the holiday content is called Winter Wonderland, and it shows your cooks making Christmas-themed desserts in freezing snowscapes. This content takes ideas from all of the other DLCs and puts them all together. It's like a variety pack that keeps you guessing.
This release would be more than worthy of its high scores if it just had all the content from the first two games. However, Ghost Town and Team17 have gone a step further and added even more content to this feast, which is already very full. Most notably, a new campaign with seven hard levels that all have a slightly creepy feel has been added. There aren't any new ideas or mechanics here, and the level layouts aren't very complicated, but you'll have to be at the top of your game to get past the constantly changing environments and thieving rats that keep getting in the way. Ghost Town has already given hints that there will be even more content later this year.
There have also been a number of quality-of-life changes made to both games to make the experience even more enjoyable. For example, the first Overcooked has now had all of its environments updated to use the same engine as the second, which has better graphics. It also has cross-platform online play to make it more like the second game. Overall, the score thresholds for both games have been changed to make the difficulty curve more consistent. You can also now use assist options to help you get through levels that are just too hard. Here, timers are often longer or don't exist at all, and you get more points for each order. This lets less skilled players join in on the fun and improve their skills.
Overall, Overcooked! All You Can Eat is a must-buy for anyone who wants a great game to play with friends at a party. It's a great game for local co-op because of how crazy the graphics and gameplay are, and there's a lot to do. Team17 and Ghost Town Games have tried out a lot of cool ideas in the DLC content for the series so far. They also made sure that each expansion had its own theme and gameplay mechanics. All of this is available on top of the great base campaigns in both games, so Overcooked! All You Can Eat is a clear choice. Overcooked 2 is one of the best local co-op games you can buy for the Switch right now. If you've been looking for the next game to play with your friends, this is it. The only bad thing is that people who have already played either game (or both) won't find a lot of new stuff here, other than the "Peckish Rises" expansion that is only available here.
