Overcooked 2 much like its predecessor is a fun and chaotic experience that truly excels when played with a group. While you might argue this is just more of the same, there are enough tweaks and changes to the formula that help keep things fresh for returning players. A hard recommendation if you’re looking to operate your own kitchen, but gather some friends and you’ll be hard pressed finding a more exciting co-operative time on Switch.
'Overcooked 2' is still the fun, chaotic multiplayer cooking experience. For those returning to the game, it may feel more like an expansion upon the first, but new players are welcomed and can find the game easily adaptable.
Overcooked 2 is better than the previous installment in almost every way. there is more fun to the levels and them challenges presented in them, new gameplay ideas, and more co-op fun.

A delightful refinement of the first game. Overcooked doesn't add much to the mix, but it proves that when something work, why change it?

It's undeniable that Overcooked 2 doesn't revolutionize the original game's recipe, but simply adds new flavors and innovations that are enough to deliver many hours of fun and leave a great taste in the player's mouth.

Overcooked 2 takes everything the first game did right and expands on it. You get bigger and crazier kitchens, more cooks, better controls, and more multiplayer options. This one’s best played with friends locally so you can hoot and holler at each other while trying to crank out as many pancakes as possible.
Overcooked’s second course is nothing short of five-star cuisine.
If you want to have great fun with family and friends, you will not be disappointed by Overcooked! 2, a charmingly fun game.
Overcooked 2 takes the strong foundation of the original game and improves in the right areas. It's still fun, chaotic, and a blast to play with friends. The gameplay mechanics are simple and smooth. There are plenty of recipes, chefs, and kitchens in Overcooked 2 to keep you entertained for months on end. I would definitely recommend playing with friends. This is one game you do not want to send back to the kitchen.
With viable options to play alone, with friends locally, or with people online this version of Overcooked is ripe with opportunities for fun. Better yet, the feeling of the experience and the challenge in each case tends to be wildly different, even when replaying the same levels. While the result may still be a bit too overwhelming for people looking to games more to de-stress rather than inspire even more, it can be a ton of chaotic fun if you’re willing to embrace the challenge.
Instead of changing the recipe of success that the developers found with the original, Overcooked 2 is more of an extension of awesomeness.
Overcooked 2 is still the same beautiful game that we liked, but with some additions that are enough to make a great sequel. The game is fresh from the beginning to the end.

The biggest addition to this sequel is the online multiplayer, otherwise, it is a pretty linear iteration with new levels and no major gameplay or visual changes over its predecessor. Still, this doesn't stop it from becoming an incredibly fun co-op game with a solid amount of content and replay value.
Overcooked 2 is more of a second helping than a brand new concoction, but that's not to be sniffed at. It features more dynamic levels, with better scope, a wide array of new restaurant themes, recipes and chef costumes, not to mention another very meaty story mode. The real evolution, however, comes in simply addressing the biggest failing of the original - its lack of online multiplayer. This addition expands things significantly in terms of its longevity, allowing friends and strangers to gather when a local session isn't on the cards. Moreover, it enables lone cooks to experience the true core experience, specifically, the unique brand of chaos that comes with running a kitchen co-operatively. Overcooked 2 is a fantastic combination of excellent music and vibrant visuals, with gameplay that is as addictive as it is dizzying. While it's not a huge leap beyond the original menu, it brings plenty to the table.
Words can't do the frantic nature of Overcooked 2 justice, and that's the beauty of it. There's never been a session where we haven't had a blast playing, even when we're butting heads against tough levels that we fail several times in a row; there's not many games we can say that about. With the option of both local and online co-op, Overcooked 2 becomes one of the the best party games available.
