Overcooked: Gourmet Edition (PS4)

This is such a basic game but incredibly addictive! It really tests your communication even if you are playing with friends, kids or a spouse. We didn’t want to stop playing the game to see what the next level held.

Initially I didn’t think much of this game. I thought it was only for little kids based off the graphics, however my bf and I are both 26 and this game was so much fun but pretty hard. We really had to strategize and learn how to work together to pass the first level which took us quite a few tries. Great game !

A great game to play with friends. This game is EXTREMELY difficult to play alone. Some levels you may even need more than two players to beat. It is a super fun strategy game. You have to work together to make orders, but each level has a different kitchen model. It is always a surprise as to what the level will be like, some are in the dark, some the counters move, some you slide on ice. Its loads of fun and requires communication between your friends. Highly recommend, the controls are super simple!

This game is seriously fun! My boy friend and I played this game and is a bonding game for sure. It really works on communication working together! We only played two player but I can imagine how much fun and easier it would be with 4 players. We are definitely going to try this out with friends!! It’s funny and it’s frustrating at times. Definitely challenging at times with 2 people but fun! The levels get harder as you go, you make new dishes (pizza, fish and chips) and new obstacles!! Highly recommend!! I’m not into video games that much (nor that much good) and my boy friend is and I found it extremely fun to play!! Try this at a party, family get together, with a friend!! Just give it a try!!

I love this game. I got so obsessed playing this. It’s a lot of fun if you have other people to play with. You all work together to make food and turn in on time. Everyone should play this. Basically anyone can play it. It’s not complicated

A Fun Co-op Experience

If you like playing couch co-op, you should definitely check this game out! You can play with up to 4 players at once. Coordinating tasks with friends/family as you try to complete your own is both challenging and fun. It starts out very simple with only a couple recipes but as the game progresses, new ones are gradually added. This makes it very easy to pick up yet somewhat difficult to master.Levels are unique and offer a different set of obstacles for players to overcome. Some of them are: shifting counters, rats trying to run off with any food left out for too long, and temporary blackouts. Also, the controls are very simple and easy to remember. You also have the option to play single player but it's not as fun as co-op since you'll need to constantly be ... MoreIf you like playing couch co-op, you should definitely check this game out!

In case you're wondering, you can't play online co-op. However, if you have some friends/family members, you're almost certainly going to have a great time.

A game for those who don't like games

I don't really like video games, and I am NOT good at them. This game, however, is so simple and fun! I bought it because my husband likes to play video games and I wanted something that we can both enjoy when we have down time. It utilizes just a few buttons (think super nintendo) and it's fun and challenging. You basically prep food (chop veggies, pound meat for burgers, etc), cook the food, assemble the plate, serve it, and wash dishes. Each level has different challenges (moving cars, blockades, rats!) that make it interesting. The only thing I don't like about it is the soundtrack--I'm only on the 2nd world but I'm almost certain that every 4-minute round has the same music that loops. It can be a pain but sometimes it gets overlooked because you are focused on ... MoreI don't really like video games, and I am NOT good at them. This game, however, is so simple and fun!

Can't recommend this multi-player family game highly enough.

This is a really fun and addictive game. It's easy to play as a beginner - you feel you are achieving no matter what your level. Most importantly, so far, this game is by far the best we have come across yet for multi-player use at the same time (not just split screen). I am a parent who has played this with their child and we have such fun together. We are each a different chef in the kitchen working together to process the orders. So it also works well if one player is better than the other as you can each go at your own pace. Wierdly it encourages communication between us while we play - I'm shouting 'bring a plate back with you' or 'quick grab the fire extinguisher' and really instills the idea of working as a team which if you have a younger teenager/child they ... MoreThis is a really fun and addictive game.

Can't recommend this highly enough and is a refreshing change from all the shoot em up games out there...

Is Overcooked undercooked, or well done ;-)

Great fun game for family and friends to play together. You can play solo but the game really shines when played with others. Unfortunately you can't play online, but if you got fiends that can come over and play, it's a blast. You can share a controller between two players, but it's better to have one each. Up to four players can play together. You do tend to be making soup most of the time. It would have been nice to have a bit more variety to the recipes, but otherwise I have no complaints with the game. It's definitely well done, and a great purchase if you're looking for a fun co-op game to play.

Perfect Local Co-Op Game

We all know that local couch co-op games are becoming extinct thanks to online gaming but thankfully this game exists to bring people together locally.You basically prep, cook, plate and serve food in this game. It sounds easy except each stage gets progressively harder (which is fun!) by adding obstacles to your kitchen such as earthquakes, civilians passing by, possed tables floating away, lights going out, etc. Communication is KEY to clearing stages and with the communication comes hilarious moments where it can break down and things can go wrong with fires breaking out in the kitchen, meals prepared the wrong way, meals prepared too slow, etc.This is definitely worth a purchase if you have friends to play with on a regular basis.
