Overcooked! All You Can Eat

There's something so magical about the way Overcooked mixes simple cooking instructions with frantic stage hazards that require verbal check-ins between co-op players. I can't get enough. I've lost track of how many times I've beaten these games, and it's a testament to their design that they still hold up so well. If you're hankering for more happy, shouty, don't-blame-me vibes, All You Can Eat feels definitive.

Overall, this is very much just more of the same, but Overcooked remains a delightful co-op experience. Extremely accessible, surprisingly challenging, and fun for all ages.

All in all, Overcooked! All You Can Eat is an absolute must-buy for anybody looking for a fantastic party game to play with friends. The wacky visuals and chaotic gameplay make it an ideal game for local co-op, and there's plenty of content to work through. Across the entire series so far, Team17 and Ghost Town Games have explored a lot of cool ideas via DLC content, and ensured that each expansion had unique theming and gameplay mechanics. Considering that all of this is offered in addition to the stellar base campaign in both games, Overcooked! All You Can Eat really stands as a no-brainer. Overcooked 2 alone is one of the very best local co-op games you can currently buy for the Switch, and if you've been looking for that next game to play when you have friends over, look no further than this. The only downside is that those who have already dipped into either title (or both) won't find a massive amount of new stuff here, outside of the exclusive "Peckish Rises" expansion.

Overcooked! All You Can Eat has so much to offer to gamers. It’s the game to pick up when you want some solo gaming, it’s the game to pick up with friends and family. It is the game for literally any occasion. The amount of fun and laughter this game brings is unreal. Whether you are working as a team or fumbling with your frying pan. Keeping calm is the only way you are going to get your three stars. From picking up, to playing what Overcooked! All You Can Eat has to offer, I thoroughly enjoyed every bit. I am not going to lie, at times it was extremely stressful. However, this is a game that is staying installed and I will be looking to the rest of the team for some online multiplayer kitchen chaos. I award Overcooked! All You Can Eat a Thumb Culture Platinum Award.

Overcooked! All You Can Eat is, in my opinion, just a marketing ploy to extract even more money from the fans. The innovations that the developers are boasting about, which should supposedly be the main attraction for buying this edition, are not that dazzling. The online mode is almost unplayable, and the full price is rather discouraging even for owners of previous installments. On the other hand, the improved graphics are nice, as is the new content. If you don't already have a piece of this series in your library, then you won't go wrong with the All You Can Eat edition. On the other hand, it's not worth buying if the opposite is true.

When two or more players play together the result is absolutely fun and never diminished thanks to its numerous beautiful tracks.

Overcooked! All You Can Eat is a party game for 1-4 players. It includes both Overcooked and Overcooked 2, as well as a little additional content. Tasked with receiving a certain level of income, players will attempt to prepare food while the kitchen and other chefs cause chaos around them. Prepare to test your friendships before entering the kitchens in Overcooked! All You Can Eat.

Overcooked! All You Can Eat is an extremely good value offering a ton of content under a decent price. The visual and FPS improvements are welcome and it’s great having the entire series under one game. However, if you’ve been a long time fan investing in the series, there may not be enough new content to warrant another purchase.

Aside from minor mechanical inconsistency across both mainline titles, Overcooked! All You Can Eat is a lovingly-crafted remaster of two lovingly-crafted experiences, complete with their respective DLC packs at a mouthwatering price. There's never been a better way to enjoy the Overcooked! series and all the multiplayer carnage it offers. As a party game it is undeniably better when played with friends so bear that in mind, but for those hungry for some local co-op action, the genre is very much alive and well with this filled-to-the-brim hotpot of cheffing action.

Overcooked! All You Can Eat is one of the most fun and chaotic co-op experiences available on any platform. Should you have at least one other person to play with, the value proposition for this game is astronomical.
