Overcooked 2 review — No party is complete without a food fight

Ghost Town Games is back in the kitchen with Overcooked 2, the followup to its award-winning couch co-op game. This time, the indie studio has partnered with publisher Team17, and its title debuted today on PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch, which is the platform on which I played it.

If you loved Overcooked, then you’ll love the sequel — it’s much of the same chaotic culinary action, tasking up to four players to cook and serve up cakes, pizzas, and sushi within the allotted time. This time, the overarching premise is that our chefy heroes must save the Onion Kingdom from an attack by the Unbread, which yeastily rose from their graves via a cursed recipe in the Necro-nomnom-icon. It’s frantic fun, this time with new challenges and cuisines.
