![]() ![]() First, press X if you’re on Nintendo Switch, triangle in you’re on PlayStation 4, or Y if you’re on Xbox One, and this will bring up the ‘Play With Friends’ menu. You can invite friends from Overcooked 2’s main menu, where your character is in the food truck. Well, here’s everything you need to know. If you want to jump into the online modes, or the local online multiplayer on Switch, you’re going to want to know how to invite friends to your Overcooked 2 game. Now, however, the sequel has released and it brings full multiplayer with it so that you can test your skills together or against each other in the kitchen in parties of up to four. ![]() The graphics aren’t really the focus here, but they do what they need to in order to add to what is a completely brilliant experience.The first Overcooked was great fun when playing with friends from the comfort of your couch, shouting at each other for being slow or accidentally throwing fully assembled meals in the trash, but it suffered from a lack of online multiplayer options. The framerate seems stable, even when there is a lot of chaos happening on the screen. It’s bright, colourful and easy on the eye. When it comes to presentation Overcooked 2 serves up more of the same as the original. They say too many cooks spoil the broth, well they certainly do, especially if no-one is listening to each other. Here you’ll need to all team up with and make sure to talk to fellow chefs, otherwise, you’ll not stand a chance, especially in the later levels. There are also secret levels spread around the map too, which are well worth checking out, although these are even more difficult than the standard fare.Īway from the chaos of the Story mode, Overcooked 2 also offers up a Versus mode, where you’ll fight it out against each other, while there is also the ability to play the standard modes online. This lets you revisit any level you wish, should you not have managed to gain the elusive three stars. In between levels you are greeted with a world map overview which you can traverse around using a bus. It would have been so much easier if someone was able to join in and drop out at will. With three kids, when I was playing, someone would always come in saying “I want to play now,” at which point we would have to quit the game completely and go all the way back to the main menu just so they could join in. If I have one criticism of Overcooked 2 then it would be that there’s no Drop In/Out co-op. Even with brilliant teamwork, as the levels go on, Overcooked 2 provides you with a very difficult challenge. Trying to get the dishes served up on time, all while trying to organise yourselves and fight against the clock and impatient customers is very difficult indeed. In one level, for instance, you have to move the platform to one end to get the ingredients, move it again to boil the rice, then move it again to chop and cook, all before gathering the plates to serve. There are other mechanics too, such as platforms which you can move by yourself. Overcooked 2 likes to make things as difficult as it can for you, throwing in new recipes, moving platforms, busy roads and more as if it’s not hard enough to serve up a dish when no-one on your team seems to be listening to you. To be honest, the story is a bit throwaway, so I won’t go into it too much, as all you’ll likely care about is cooking up and serving the new recipes which include the likes of Pizzas, Sushi and Burgers as well as all manner of other dishes. Starting off with the story is always good and whether you are playing with two, three or four players, there’s plenty of levels to challenge your team as you go about building the cooking skills you’ll need in order to defeat ‘The Unbread’. You will be cooking up just as much fun from the minute you start playing Overcooked 2 and thanks to new chefs, new kitchens and plenty of new recipes you can’t fail to have fun, oh and lots of arguments too. Overcooked was a brilliant game, so you won’t be surprised to learn the sequel is just as good.
