'Overcooked 2' is the sort of co-op joy that needn't extensive writing, myself and three other friends blasted through this with quite an energy which can only be derived with consistent quality design work. The predecessor saw Ghost Town deliver a uniquely frantic cooperative experience, easy to pick up with simple mechanics, and stimulating in how tension had the potential to emerge in moments of more hectic communication. The sequel here is exactly what was needed to bring the gameplay loop further to life, more elaborate and exciting levels with unique mechanics to certain stages making themselves known with frequency in the second half. There is simply not a shred of poor work here, every single level is enjoyable and some are certainly challenging. If there were any faults worth harping on, it is that three staring some levels felt a bit too easy, my chums and I made sure to three star every level we played, refusing to move on otherwise, and while this occasionally brought out the high intensity teamwork struggle we were hoping for, there were other moments where we'd receive our maximum star prestige a little anticlimactically. This is a small potato, however, as the post-ending save gives access to the challenge of four starring levels, the difficulty of which is certainly formidable! What we have here is an incredibly charming, tense, finely tuned and thought out co-op game, there's pretty much no game like it and I'd highly recommend if you're looking for a new game to mess around with your pals in! Excellently designed, charismatic, unique, just plain, well cooked fun! Great work!
