So, what’s different between the original game and this nicely polished sequel? As far as I can tell, other than the numerous improvements to the core gameplay, the two new features are the ability to throw and communicate with the other players. If you’re playing with multiple players then the game becomes somewhat easier as you can both move and interact independently from one another as you work towards the same goal – feeding the annoying customers! The disadvantage of this is that you can only control one at a time and you usually have to plan ahead in order to keep things running efficiently. When playing Overcooked 2 solo you’ll have control of two chefs whom you can alternate between at the touch of a button. If you’ve played the original Overcooked then you know what to expect – if not then you’re in for a treat as you’ll get to play the amazing combination of time management, frustrations, arguments and a lot of swearing at the TV! The game is made for multiple players as standard but this doesn’t mean that you can’t play the game solo – it’s just a lot harder.
The new throwing mechanic is both useful and fun to use! So, you must travel across the land, learn to cooperate and discover new and exciting recipes so that you may take on the muffin monsters once more and lay them to rest once and for all. You’re given a brief intro to the game as you feed these baps of doom with the outcome being that you have satisfied them for now however, if they (jam)spread outside of the castle grounds then the entire kingdom is doomed. At this point, all I could think of was Dead Hungry which I reviewed a while ago! However, whilst it’s all shouting and dancing in the castle, in the nearby graveyard the bread has begun to rise from the dead – it’s a terrible catastrophic occurrence of “The Unbread!” So, once again it’s up to our unprepared chefs to head down to the graveyard in order to feed these self-risen zombies in order to appease their appetite. Unaware of his actions for reading the satanic recipe for creating bread, the king cheerily jumps around for joy that he finally got the chance to read such an elusive document. Kevin, the Onion Kings dog, seems reluctant for the Onion King to read the passages within this fabled book as he senses a great danger from deep within the cursed text however, the king ignores his concerns and continues to read out aloud the troubled recipe! “In a large bowl, dissolve the sugar in warm water, and then stir in yeast…” The Onion King is cackling away in his castle at the fact that he has finally gained access to the one thing he wanted his whole life, a Nobel prize! As such, he’s received the “Necro-nomnom-icon” – which unfortunately doesn’t look like the Evil Dead one. Overcooked 2 begins with a rather creepy opening if I’m being honest.
Only the names, places and vegetables have been changed… Oh no – it’s the night of the living Bread!
