Overcooked! 2

Ghost Town Games Ltd. , Team17

Call out a plan before the next order. Turn a chaotic kitchen into a shared effort.

THE DESIGN LENS

What makes this worth a closer look.

Overcooked! 2 can be read as making communication the real recipe. With chaotic cooking for up to four players in couch co-op or online play, the kitchen looks to us like a stress test for how a group shares information, more than a test of cooking.

Before you make it your next game.

Up to four players, with hectic cooking at its heart. Expect pressure, not a gentle cooking sim.
