…but Overcooked will determine if you’ve got what it takes. I’m personally not a huge fan of the cooking competition MasterChef because British Toucan Sam, otherwise known as chef and series judge Gordon Ramsay, terrifies me. But maybe you like watching amateur cooks get berated for their lamb shanks, and that’s OK. As I said earlier, this is a reality TV safe space.

If you like MasterChef, the cooperative cooking game Overcooked will allow you to achieve your final evolution—a raccoon with a chef hat that burns boiling water, somehow. When playing with friends or lovers, you can simultaneously inhabit the role of bumbling tween MasterChef and very disappointed, screeching judge with a modest décolleté. Successfully managing a kitchen in Overcooked takes a strong sense of timing and communication, but falling short in either of those aspects could bring out the worst in you, much like how a shoddy vinaigrette can easily destroy Toucan Ramsay
