"Overcooked"
I can say this rather easy that Overcooked, is one of the best couch Coop games of this generation of gaming. I really could say maybe one the best ever in the history of the genre. There are not a lot of games addictive, and as fun to play with someone as Overcooked. It is a blast, and really hard to step away from. It really makes me wish there was a Xbox Live option, because playing this with four friends would be amazing online. For the moment we will have to wait and hope one day soon it happens. They are already being very on top of it with the upgrades, and DLCs. So have a lot of hope this one hangs around a bit. Hoping it really catches on with a lot more people.
You play as chefs, there are different ones and you can also unlock more of them. There are even Christmas ones right now for the holiday. There is a character for everyone. You can play this alone, in a really fun, and challenging campaign. Or with 2 to 4 friends in coop or versus modes. The solo is just as fun, you get up to three stars a level, based on how well you do. Levels unlock as you go, and as you have earned enough stars to advance. It isn't easy at all, and could see people playing a lot of levels over. There are different stages as well, city, space, even underworld which makes since cause the main boss is the beast. You main objective is to stop him, and make sure the world doesn't come to a end. Its pretty comical story. Your objective is to make Hamburgers, Pizzas, Burritos, etc with out burning down the place. Racing a clock, and levels that change around you making you adjust. The experience is just exciting and leads to a ton of outbursts of laughter , as well as memories amongst your friends.
The music is fun, and fits right along into the game. The visuals are adorable, bright and colorful, There aren't a lot of negatives you can say about this game. It is pretty much flawless start to finish. Only thing I really could say is no online. That fact though I can't knock to many points off of it,because It is a Indie title and that feature can be really expensive. So it is understanding to me.
If your wondering if this is for you, I really believe it is. I really think this game is for just about everyone. Especially people who enjoy gaming with friends and family. I have no problem suggesting this to people, who ask me about Coop games to play with their children.
Pros: Exciting and Fast Paced
Loads of Laughter
Perfect Level Design
Fun Visuals and Sounds
Coop Excellence
Tons of Replay Value
Adorable Characters
Cons: No Online (Yet)
Overall: 9.9 This game is one of the most fun games to play with friends and family ever. I'd put it up there with classic Coop games like Contra, MineCraft, and Portal 2 as far as fun playing with people. With no Online it is hard to give it that 10, But I really believe it is coming soon.
