See, it’s not just a case of driving your bus from stage to stage to find cooking jobs to partake in, and having to hit switches in order to lift ramps which in turn give access to new levels, all seems a bit of a faff… especially when you are in the need of heading back into earlier levels to try and better yourself, your cooking, and your scores. If I’m honest though, for as glorious as this map navigation system is, and as well as it immerses you into the kingdom, I could quite easily go without. It is however from the cut scenes of this story in which we get thrown out into the wide world of the Onion Kingdom, traversing the interactive map screen via bus, hitting switches, opening up various new areas, and taking on new cooking challenges.

Again we see the Onion Kingdom under threat, and that means we get the opportunity to don our aprons and jump out of the frying pan and into the fire, as we cook up some tasty treats in order to prove our worth to the kitchen gods and stave off the hunger of The Unbread, an evil force that is looking to take over the land.Īs far as storytelling goes, Overcooked 2 doesn’t quite hit the heights found in the original, but it is still well delivered, with the Onion King, his ever trusty dog Kevin, and a range of utterly weird chefs all represented in honourable fashion.
