Overcooked! 2

PlateUp! might make you sick of shouldering the blame. I understand, accountability is hard. It’s way healthier to hurl insults into the mic while playing co-op kitchen game Overcooked! 2

If you fuck up in Overcooked! 2, you’ll be inclined to blame those around you before turning your ire to the game’s increasingly complex level design. No real restaurant will make you flip strawberry pancakes in the middle of a lazy, icy river. Not even if you’re an anthropomorphic reindeer or raccoon in a wheelchair, like two of the cute potato-nosed chefs you’re able to play in this game.

But the joy of Overcooked! 2 comes not from its realism. It’s all about the adrenaline-pumping ridiculousness. After you cook 20 plates of spaghetti bolognese on a teetering hot air balloon that your raccoon friend accidentally rolled off of (I’ve done this many times), you’ll never see pasta the same way. And you won’t want to.

Overcooked! 2 isn’t new, but the compilation of it and its predecessor, Overcooked: All You Can Eat, is.
