You’ll have the best luck at putting together a strategy with 2 players, and you’ll get the most fun out of 3-4 players. This is a struggle to begin with, but as challenging as the game is it robs a lot of the fun. In order to play, you have to swap between control for the two characters to get things done. Overcooked allows you to play the game in single player, with one player controlling two chefs. There’s no telling what will happen, but what ever it is will probably be crazy. When these mistakes happen, you don’t just have to start over with a dish-often times something extremely chaotic happens.īurn some food for example, and the entire kitchen can catch on fire, forcing you to choose a new location to cook. When playing with friends at such a fast pace you can and will accidentally take an ingredient from a friend, click on the wrong tile and ruin a batch of food, and other costly mistakes. The major difference between Overcooked and Tools up! Is just how crazy the gameplay can get. Overcooked is a wonderful multi-tasking game, very similar to Tools up! If you’ve ever played it, you’ll be well prepared to handle Overcooked. The more flexible and quick to react you are, the more likely you will be to win the game. Instead, the key to winning this game is to know all the roles, and be flexible about swapping on the fly. Anything can happen in the game, from the kitchen itself splitting in half (rendering the job you assigned for yourself earlier impossible for you to do) to being required to jump from moving truck to truck to get your job done. If you’re new to the game, it’s tempting to assign each person on the team a role, sort of like an RPG healer, tank, and damage dealer. The game forces you to move from station to station as well, making getting anything done in this crazy world difficult. Not only do you have to chop, bake, and prep your meal while making sure it doesn’t burn, you’ll have to do it while avoiding wheelchaired raccoons getting dropped into lava, and other such drama. In this game, you and your team mates are chefs tasked with cooking a simple meal for a hungry Spaghetti Monster-in a world completely designed to disrupt everything you are doing. It’s a hilarious mix between raw player skill and hilarious plot twists. Overcooked is not your standard cooking game.
