Play Overview
Overcooked! All You Can Eat (2018) is a collaborative cooking game where you work with friends to complete food orders in a frantic restaurant. Play requires teamwork to coordinate the various elements of each dish and get food to customers on time. It stands out for the rising tension of four players working together to complete each order as the customers ramp up.
You are working in a restaurant with up to three friends. The doors open and a stream of customers arrive, all requesting food. The challenge is to identify, prepare and cook ingredients, combine them in dishes, and wash up afterwards. To do this well need to assign tasks and coordinate your efforts to survive. As you progress you work in different establishments in increasingly busy or dangerous scenarios.
The result is a game that brings the family together. It's fun but also challenging. If you can keep calm and work as a team, getting out a timely set of orders is very satisfying.
