And the various smooth movements in each level, from moving trucks to shifting tables, are executed well. It definitely all has a casual feel in mind, but fits the light-hearted tone quite superbly. The chipper, cartoonish art style is simple and works perfectly, and the music is nice and bouncy, with sound effects of sizzling and chopping always guiding helping you stay alert to what’s going on. It’s a setup that’s nicely chaotic, fast-paced (with most rounds only taking a few minutes at most), and controls quite well, even if trying to place an item on the correct spot gets tricky during more hectic times.īut even when things are on the verge of breaking out into a five alarm inferno, Overcooked still manages to look quite appealing. fail, and you may find a fire breaking out, or a load of unwashed dishes that have yet to be cleaned. ![]() The difference, though, is that Overcooked takes the form of a top down action game, where you and one or up to three more chefs have to work together and manually grab each ingredient from its source, bring it to a cutting board or cooking station, put it all on a plate (correctly), and bring it to the delivery area, all while avoiding/maneuvering around various obstacles and making sure everything moves smoothly.

Set in the culinary land of Onion Town, Overcooked begins with an assault on the city by a giant spaghetti monster that can only be calmed with a massive feast, which you are unprepared to cook up. But can it really cut the mustard, or is it not even fit for a doggy bag (and yes, apologies in advance for any notable amount of puns in this review)? Enter Ghost Town Games and Team 17 with Overcooked, an insane adventure in cooking made best for a crowd of companions. ![]() More and more developers are aiming to see you and your friends gather around the couch with some snacks for a lengthy play session, and as with all other trends like this, it really takes a unique game to stand out among the crowd.
