Overcooked 2 (Aug. 7)
Best Switch Games in August 2018
Despite its performance issues, Overcooked is one of the best co-op and multiplayer games you can get on the Switch right now. However, all of that might change when Overcooked 2 finally releases in August.
If you thought the kitchens we got in the first game were wacky enough, the sequel takes things to a whole other level. The premise of Overcooked 2 is simple. For every stage, you learn a new food recipe, and your job is to create that dish and serve it to your customers quickly to maximize your tips earned. The orders will have some variations to them, and you’ll need to keep track of them and make sure you’re not serving the wrong thing. Matters get even more intense when you have three other players helping you out, and everyone has to divide kitchen responsibilities to be more efficient. However, most of the kitchens come with gimmicks that will throw you off from time to time, so you need to develop a cooking strategy while also being able to adapt to how the kitchen changes throughout the stage.
Overcooked 2 is one of those games that will seriously test your friendships and relationships. You should probably get it.
