"All-in-all, a second portion of Overcooked‘s co-op insanity was exactly what I was looking for. As they say though, variety is the spice of life, and I think Overcooked 2 could have used just a bit more of that: variety. Still, the resulting sequel isn't bad by any means and will absolutely fill you up if you're looking for precisely more of what the original had to offer. If Ghost Town Games were to go back for a third romp in the kitchen though, I'd love to see a few new things seasoned in next time around."

About Overcooked! 2
Ghost Town Games released Overcooked! 2 on August 7, 2018, bringing chaotic kitchen chaos to PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, PC, Linux, and Mac. This sequel returns players to the Onion Kingdom for another round of high-pressure culinary mayhem. You play as chefs working with up to three other people either locally or online. The goal remains simple yet maddening: prepare orders and serve customers before time runs out. Team17 handles publishing duties while the game straddles arcade, simulator, and strategy genres. It launched in 2018 but feels just as frantic today as it did back then.
Gameplay
A typical session involves grabbing ingredients, chopping vegetables, cooking items on stoves, and plating dishes before handing them off to waiting customers. The real challenge comes from the environment itself since levels change constantly with moving platforms, ice floes, or conveyor belts that throw everything off balance. You spend your minutes shouting instructions while teammates scramble to keep up. Controls are straightforward but require precise timing and communication. Single player mode forces you to control two characters simultaneously, making every task twice as difficult. Split screen works fine for local groups, but online play adds lag issues if connections slip. The game modes range from standard order rushes to survival challenges that test your endurance.
What Players Think
Critics loved this title with an 82 on Metacritic and OpenCritic while 86.11% of reviewers recommended it. IGDB users gave it an 80.2 out of 100 based on nearly 300 ratings. PlayPile data shows a dedicated user base logging serious hours, with one player hitting 136.6 hours despite giving the game a low score for the chaos. Achievements remain tough to unlock with only 54 total available and an average completion rate of just 13.4%. The rarest badge "Coal of Duty" has been earned by only 0.30% of players. Community moods lean toward frustration mixed with laughter as groups scream at each other over burning food.
PlayPile's Take
This game costs as little as $3.59 on Green Man Gaming but historically sat at a high of $22.99. It works best for groups who enjoy shouting and blaming each other when dishes burn. The 54 achievements offer long-term goals, though the rarity stats prove most people give up before finishing everything. You should pick this up if you have friends nearby or reliable internet for online sessions. Avoid it if you prefer calm strategy games without constant noise. The low price point makes it an easy buy for a Friday night with friends who need to vent stress.

1Hey, remember that time I tried to cook with my bro and we set the kitchen on fire? Overcooked! 2 is basically that but with more onions and less actual food. It’s wild fun when everyone’s on the same page, but ugh, the chaos when you’re not. I love the levels though—like, some a...
