- In Overcooked: Special Edition, developer Ghost Town Games has achieved something special. Beneath the surface of this crazy culinary adventure is an experience that is outrageously funny to play with friends, that, even when your kitchen is burning down and the fire extinguisher out of reach, will never fail to raise a smile. It’s a perfect fit for Nintendo Switch, and a game that you need to have in your life – it will be all the better for it. For, there is nothing in the world as contagious as laughter.
Alex Seedhouse · Sep 26, 2017 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - If you’re looking for a great couch co-op game, you’d be hard-pressed to find another game like Overcooked. It’s got enough stress to keep the game interesting/challenging and playing with friends is a blast. The content may run dry after a few hours but there is still a lot of replayability in trying to beat your high scores on each level. Overcooked is definitely worth checking out on the Switch.
Justin Sharp · Aug 11, 2017 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - There you have it. Overcooked Special Edition may have officially turned one year old today (Happy Birthday, by the way!), but it hasn’t lost any of the excitement that it originally set out with. Given that the Switch already has a nice little lineup of multiplayer-heavy games, Overcooked fits in quite nicely. And it’s pick-up-and-play style of gameplay is something that I would imagine to have a lot of pull, regardless of what kind of gamer you are. Overall, Overcooked is an incredibly charming couch multiplayer, with just the perfect amount of challenge, that is sure to keep you and your friends entertained for hours to come. The next time you’re hungry for a new game, be sure to pick this morsel up.
Kenny McKee · Aug 03, 2017 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - All in all, Overcooked is an absolute must-buy for anybody looking for a fantastic party game to play with friends. The wacky visuals and chaotic gameplay make it an ideal game for local co-op, and there’s plenty of content to work through. Although there are some disappointing launch issues with the framerate (reflected in our scoring), we still give this one a strong recommendation overall; it's a title that perfectly nails what makes local multiplayer games so fun.
Mitch Vogel · Aug 02, 2017 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - Overcooked’s success is based primarily in its varied take on a simple concept. In every stage, the goal is to just make meals, but clever, nigh-endless obstacles and twists complicate things, forcing new strategies and tactics to be tested and used.
Neal Ronaghan · Aug 01, 2017 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - Overcooked: Special Edition is one of the most fun local co-op games around, even if the Switch port has some problems.
Tom Marks · Jul 31, 2017 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - Overcooked contains all the necessary ingredients for a truly excellent co-op game. Stress is always balanced out by feelings of accomplishment and progression, and its gameplay requires a mix of smart planning, consistent communication, and some level of dexterity to execute plans effectively.
Scott Butterworth · Nov 23, 2016 Reviewed on PS4Read full review - Aside from from the local-only consideration and some inconsistencies with the scoring criteria and stage layouts, man, what a game. Overcooked is the best co-op experience I've had in recent memory, and despite going back through to fully clear every level, I wish there were more. Don't overlook it.
Jordan Devore · Sep 28, 2016 Reviewed on PS4Read full review - For a game that clearly embraces wacky fun and the party atmosphere, I don’t understand why progress is blocked by a star system. It would be a much better (and less stressful game) without it. Don’t let these unnecessary roadblocks scare you off. Overcooked is a wonderful local co-op experience, and a party game that hits all of the right notes in turning friends against each other and making even the quietest people scream uncontrollably.
Andrew Reiner · Sep 02, 2016 Reviewed on XB1 - Overall, I found Overcooked to be a very fun game with a decent amount of replayability. The game really excels in party situations or couch co-op, but is fun enough to warrant a single-player experience as well. While it could be argued that the game would have benefited from network play, I can’t help but feel that something special would be lost if you couldn’t directly yell at the person who forgot to wash the dishes.
