Overcooked Update



Thanks to all of you for the amazing support you’ve shown Overcooked since launch! It’s been awesome hearing so many of the community stories.

We’ve been looking through the community forums to gather feedback, and we’ve integrated some of that feedback into today’s update. One of the top requested features was for more than one player to be able to use a keyboard, and we’re now happy to confirm that it’s possible. That means with just 1 keyboard and 1 controller you can get a 4 player session going!



Here’s a full list of the changes in today’s update:

New Features!

· Added functionality for 2 players to play using 1 keyboard.
· Added main menu support for splitting keyboards.
· Added Steam Trading Cards
· Added Steam Badges
· Added Steam Profile Backgrounds
· Added Steam Emoticons
· The credits screen is now selectable in the main menu.


Fixes

· Increased the deadzone on controllers to fix a controller input issue. Characters should no longer move without input.
· Fixed an issue where it was not possible to enter Windowed mode when using a Steam controller.


We want to know what you think of today’s update so leave a comment down below and make sure you stop by the Overcooked Forum

“Overcooked is hands down one of the best couch party games ever made. It’s the perfect balance of chaos that can be conquered with skill.”
86 / 100 – PC Gamer

“While there'll doubtless be at least one person determined to appoint themselves de facto head chef, Overcooked is, simply put, a hilarious game to experience with a bunch of friends.”
Eurogamer

About This Game

Overcooked is a chaotic couch co-op cooking game for one to four players. Working as a team, you and your fellow chefs must prepare, cook and serve up a variety of tasty orders before the baying customers storm out in a huff. Sharpen your knives and dust off your chef’s whites, there isn’t mushroom for error and the steaks are high in these crazy kitchens! 

The Onion Kingdom is in danger and only the finest cooking can save it! In Overcooked players must journey through a variety of cruel and unusual kitchens on their quest to become master chefs capable of conquering an ancient edible evil which plagues the land.

Play solo or engage in classic, chaotic couch co-op for up to four players in both co-operative and competitive challenge modes. You’ll have to cook a range of different dishes and work together in order to become the most effective and ultimate team!

A CULINARY QUEST

The Onion Kingdom is a rich world full of cruel and unusual kitchens for you to conquer. Take part in an epic journey and tackle an increasingly challenging and bizarre gauntlet of kitchens which will push your skills of co-operation and co-ordination to the very limits. Each level brings a new challenge for you and your team to overcome, whether it's sliding around on a pirate ship, moving between speeding trucks, cooking on an ice floe or serving food in the bowels of a fiery underworld, each level will test the mettle of even the bravest chefs. 

SIMPLE CONTROLS/DEEP CHALLENGE

Overcooked is so easy to pick up that anyone can join in the fun, but finding a team who can communicate and co-ordinate their actions when the pizza hits the fan, that's when only a well-oiled team of super-chefs will come out on top! 

DIFFERENT WAYS TO PLAY

Whether indulging in deep fried local co-op or sautéed single player, as you play through the game you'll unlock new levels, new chef characters and even competitive challenge levels which allow teams of two to engage in hard boiled head-to-head in the kitchen.

However you want to play, if you think you can stand the heat, then get ready to enter the kitchen!

Since I'm unable to give a neutral vote, I'll go for thumbs up.

The game itself is really fun; is a nice fast-paced cooperative where communication is the key between a good score and total chaos.

But there are few elements that make this game not worth 15 bucks, like controls that are a little cluncky and the campaign that doesn't last much.
But, most of all, the fact that is local coop only kill the replayability.

To sum up:

It's fun and worth a try, but if found on sale (and if you have friends to play with!).

One of the best couch co-op games made.

Be warned as there's no online co-op at this time. But if you can get someone to play at your house it's an absolute blast.

I wouldn't say there's a ton of replayability but there is a long campaign and it will challenge you for a good number of hours to complete it and it does technically become replayable as you train a new friend trying it out with them.

What I liked:
  • Easy game to learn, hard to master
  • Every level offers something new and unique
  • Has solo play that is fun, also good for people regardless of gaming competence
What You Need to Know:
  • It's a cooking game that is kinda a puzzle game, in that you need to solve each level's problem to find the way to win
  • The game starts out easy with one ingredient and recipe with no challenge to get you and people who have never played a video game used to it
  • I had my mom who has never used a controller in her life play the first few levels, she enjoyed it.
  • Every level gives you 4 minutes with either a new recipe or a new twist on the levels, stated below and get scored on how fast and how many you finish to get up to 3 stars
  • You have shifting levels, conveyors that are require timing with your friends, moving ice platforms, and levels that require co-operation multiple times for a single recipe
  • With the later levels, they get hard fast, especially if you want to 3 star them all.
  • You can play solo, which I tried and was fun, so it's good if you want to play solo, and have no friends or family to play it with. #FOREVER ALONE
  • The last level's difficulty is insane compared to the rest of the game. Me and my sister, who played the whole game 3 staring till the last level,
    had to restart the last level at least 20 times. The timing is important on it, which is the longest level, lasting 12 minutes and has the stupid unskippable cutscence at the start
  • One weird thing about the difficulty is that the points required to get 3 stars is actually easier with the fewer people. Soloing them was insanely easy, 2 players is easy still, even if one isn't that good
    but with 4, you need to all be great, because the requirement scales more and is harder to get.
  • My only gripe of the game, was it's hard to grab and put things on the correct countertop, and can ruin some runs of a level

My Score:
A

Price:$14
Completed in:20 hours(less if not going for all 3 stars)

This is a fantastic couch game - an absolute must. My non-gaming girlfriend really enjoyed 3-starring every level with me, and I had a blast playing with 4 friends. The controls and mechanics are simple enough to get a handle on, but everything layers perfectly to make for a chaotic (but always fun and understandable) mess. There's no online mode, but this is the kind of game best enjoyed while yelling at friends sitting next to you. Don't miss it!

All time played was played local with two players so far.

Looks: Suitably Cute.
Sounds: Just enough to be pleasant and the soundtrack is nice.
Gameplay: The gameplay itself is simple with only three buttons that matter (Dash, Pickup/Putdown, Action) and movement. Using the simply gameplay you are given an escalating series of simple tasks to do with time and resource pressure - you have unlimited food, but limited counter space, cutting boards, floor space, time, clean plates, burners, pans and depending on the nature of your relationship with P2, patience.

Success feels amazing in this game, and failure alternates between incredibly stressful and incredibly hilarious - but that depends on the player. Passing every level isn't too tough, but aceing (three stars) every level is fairly challenging. Your time to complete each level is generally short enough that you don't feel like you lost too much when you do fail.

I strongly recomend this game for all types of players

The game is too much fun to play with my friends :)

Only problem is that we want more stages :(

And when we played the final stage in two player mode, it keeps returing to the begining over and over again, I think that is a bug.

"JUST PUT THE FOOD ON THE PLATE! YES, THE FOOD ON THE PLATE IT'S NOT THAT HARD!"
"IT'S NOT COOKED YET YOU CRETIN!


Overcooked is a couch co-op cooking game, with a story as silly as the front cover and a relatively simple control scheme, you can move, pick food up, and cut food, that's it.

But every single time I play this game with family, it starts with us stratigizing and assigning jobs like the cook or the cleaner. And every single time the assigned jobs are completely disregarded and our master scheme becomes completely irrelevant as the game uses every trick up its sleeve against you, whether it be moving your counters or placing you in a moving van, your well-coordinated plan will most definitely devolve into a choatic mess creating shouting match against everybody like a low budget "Hell's Kitchen", except everybody thinks that their Gordon Ramsay and that everybody else is the Idiot Sandwich.

However, the campaign is quite short, that is if you don't plan to 3 star everything, around 30% of it's difficulty can be attributed to it's rather clunky controls. Also, and this is a minor nit-pick, it's can be difficult to spot your cook amongst the haze of confusion because the only visual indication of who's controlling which character is the appearance you chose, which is mostly obscured by their toque.

It's incredibly simple to learn and alot of fun with friends, however I urge you to NOT buy this game if you don't have any friends to play this with, as the single player is incredibly boring, and remember, two's a company, three's a crowd, and four's a thrilling frenzied clutter of anarchy and mayhem.

Awesome game, really good for LAN parties, the 2v2 versus mode is really well-balanced, and the coop campaign is fun and challenging, even if the maps are a little too small for 4 players, I'd recommend to play as 2 or 3.

Game is also playable alone, with an adapted gameplay, it's less fun, but it's openly a multiplayer game, so the fact that the devs took time to adapt the solo gameplay is appreciated.

Definitely worth its price, the only thing missing for me is a level editor.

This game is a good game to imrove co-op and communication. It gives a thrilling experience.
People complain about online gameplay, but they just need to invite some friends to play.

It would be a good addition to add a small pointer that would indicate your direction so you can pre-aim a counter rather then having to rely on it lighting up when you come close.

SIMPLE REVIEW: BEST game to play with a spouse. Beats all the side scrollers, tests your communication skills. It's a blast to play! this game has you laughing at eachother everytime someone messes up. I'm shocked I really haven't seen Overcooked mentioned on local multiplayer/co-op game forums.

This is one of the best couch multiplayer games I have ever played. All of my friends love it and we all laugh raucously while yelling out orders to each other. I highly recommend this game to anyone looking for two to four player shenanigans as it is worth every penny. The only caveat is that I do not know if it would hold up with just one player.

So, I bought this game because it was cute and co-op. What I did not know is that it is hard as hell.

But not a good hard as hell, but a bad hard as hell: The controls are too loose.

Like, you'll be moving along, you'll aim left, but there is no sharp left, everything is fuzzy and 3d, though there are only actually 4 axises, the game fudges them all, so nothing is precise or contextual.

I also bought it to play with my kids. I thought it would be cute and fun, and instead was stressful and hard to play without sounding mean. Like, I don't think a cooking game should be all just rush rush rush all the time. Think about tomato sauce, or some other sauces, you don't cook them in 10 minutes. YOu stew them in 60 minutes. I'm not saying that that is critical, but everything also cooks at the same rate, and its all at high.

Meh, just doesn't even feel like cooking, feels like a desperate tetris game where you have one arm chopped off, and you've got glaucoma and a 400ms response time like you're drunk at the same time.

And the controls don't mention that there's a B button for dashing. That's never mentioned 0_0. Wasn't until we were 11 levels in that we discovered we could dash.

Tears and sadness, can't really recommend because of the controls and the way they handle. The feeling of control looseness happend with both the controllers and the keyboard, so I know it was the game engine.

Hours of Co-Op challenge and strained friendships! This game is great with two or more people. Easy to learn, but takes hours of strategy and coordination to master.
