Like its predecessor, Overcooked 2 is a party game that’s all about cooking in the most wacky and silly work conditions ever. Other than the music, the sound effects are amusing, with the proper chopping sounds, boiling water, blenders working, fire in the kitchen and much more. Overall the music is appealing, but the endless looping can be a bit nerve-wracking when you just can’t beat that specific level. The sound design of Overcooked is still rather brilliant, as the music is upbeat, entertaining and has both a relaxing as well as a hectic atmosphere. While the game may look like a cute appetizer, it’s actually a main course worth a few stars. The ingredients you work with are cute, clear and the dishes actually look quite fancy in a comic book kind of way. You’ll always be following a formula of the same type of levels, before alternating to something different. The environments in which you play are very diverse and interesting, making sure the game and the surroundings it has to offer never become bland. The characters are all fairly chubby and adorable in their own way, immediately creating a very likeable atmosphere. Just like the first installment, Overcooked 2 has a very cute appearance in all that it does. Overall things stay basic from start to finish, but it’s quite nice to have something to hold on to. Every few levels you will get a bit of text to tell you a bit more, but it often doesn’t feel all too coherent and it’s just a small plot to get the ball rolling. You, and your army of fellow cooks will have to practice as hard as you can to defeat the scourge currently trying to ruin the world. Someone has read from the Necro-nom-nomicon and now the world is swarmed with the Unbread. Just like in the first game, thing have gone terribly wrong. Both the original game and the DLC proved to be great party experiences, but now, with Overcooked 2 hitting the stores we were promised more content, more dishes, more chaos and more characters to aid us on our quest in the kitchen. The publishing studio behind Worms did it again, and this time in the form of a co-op cooking party game, in which you have to create dishes in wacky circumstances, all while running around in circles in the kitchen, avoiding traps, running against your friends and simply preventing any mishaps from happening. When the original Overcooked was released, there was no imagining that the game would be such a success.
