There wasn't the added annoyance of directing a character or fellow player to go stand on a platform so you could move them around to another area. In the latter instance, the level got even more chaotic, but in a joyful way. The more tedious gimmicks skip the playfulness of dodging cars when crossing an impractically placed street, or a hot air balloon crashing down onto an earlier level-a sushi restaurant-after a lightning storm zapped it. Whenever I ran into a level with levers or buttons as a central conceit, it usually served as a tedious addition rather than a new instrument to creatively think around. Sometimes though, Overcooked 2's newfound ambition gets in the way of its stages, overcomplicating things.

(But food on the ground? That's still a-okay, edible, and totally not a health code violation!) Some levels are even constructed with this in mind, with conveyor belts for pot and plate-passing needs. After all, the plate could break or something. The only catch with throwing is that you cannot throw pots, pans, or plated food. You can even throw things directly onto a pan or pot, so you don't even need the other character to catch it immediately. In Overcooked 2 you can catch and receive raw ingredients-sliced or not. And I mean really throw it, not fumble it with a well-timed dash as in the original game. One big change that I surprisingly found essential to a successful cook off is the renewed ability to throw food. With Joy-Cons slipped out of the Switch, you can play with one person on each controller, making for a great on-the-go multiplayer experience. While there's still some technical hiccups and hitches, likely due to the Switch version I reviewed on, it runs mostly well. Its world map is far more colorful, and its little van transforms into a boat or plane when on certain areas, which is a sweet little touch. Its story mode is deeper, with levels following a clear arc over its stages. But from the start, Overcooked 2 is more ambitious. Overcooked 2 builds on the solid foundation of its predecessor. All my screenshots were embarrassing so instead I'm using official ones. I'm pleased to affirm that Overcooked 2 is no exception.
Regardless of who's visiting or what gaming experience they have, when Overcooked is played the room erupts into yelling and chaos.
Ghost Town Games' unexpected hit Overcooked has remained steady in my rotation for when friends visit, alongside Jackbox Party Pack collections, Nidhogg, Mario Kart 8, and more. I often measure couch multiplayer games by how likely they are to ruin a friendship. It's a game that will show you which of your friends are morons, jerks, or saints, and who among them you never want to speak with again. How much do you value your friendships? That's the first question you should ask yourself before popping in Overcooked 2 at a party.
