Overcooked 2 (Aug. 7)
Best Xbox One Games of August 2018
Overcooked was the co-op game that nobody really realized they wanted until they played it. The chaos that ensues as you and three other friends try and serve up food as fast as possible to maximize tips, all the while navigating kitchens that are definitely less-than-ideal workplaces, is quite unlike anything else you’ve experienced. The only downside to all this frantic action was that, as much as we appreciated having a local co-op option, there was no online play.
Skip forward a couple years and here we are, eagerly anticipating the release of Overcooked 2. Not only do we get a bunch of new ‘dynamic’ kitchens that change up on the fly as you complete orders, you’ll also have the ability to toss items and foods at your fellow chefs. Oh, and this time, there is online co-op alongside the local option, so you’ll never be in the kitchen on your own ever again!
