After almost two years of standard post-launch support, it seems that the Teams17 and Ghost Town Games are finally & # 39; t finished & # 39; about it Too late 2. The developers have provided some great add-ons since launch, and everything is now put together by the right person Blocked 2: Gourmet Edition. For the purpose of this bonus DLC review, we will focus more on content presented to siblings; if you would like to know more about the main game, feel free to read our entire review here.
In addition to the full basic game information, Overcooked 2: Gourmet Edition also includes a few additional campaigns, along with a box of new chefs that you can play just like any other content. One thing we would like to highlight right now is that all these integrated networks provide a great amount of additional content. Looking at it from a more standard perspective, the DLC content actually doubles the length of the base game, and introduces new and cool gameplay mechanics. In many ways, one can even view all of this additional content as a sequel. Everything is built on an overcooked base 2, but new tested mechanics suggest content higher than the & # 39; ed & # 39; themed level packs.
We'll start with this by extending the expansion into three season-specific programs, the first being the Campfire Cook-Off. Here, chefs exchange their coffee hats with professional baseball equipment and take their kitchen skills into the back shop, where the camp rules. The deep-framed wood here looks beautiful, and is mined for small details such as how to sharpen your food knives. These axes are actually tied to a large game mechanic, too, as you must occasionally cut wood and set it on fire to continue cooking with it. In addition, some standards include heavy bags that should always be worn by your chefs, each containing the essential ingredient of the dish you make. Together, these two mechanics add just enough to some of the fun wrinkles in standard gameplay, as you now have to be alert to the various cooking temperatures and have to be very quick with the ingredients.
The next expansion is called Night of the Hangry Horde, and it is for sale in the thriving areas of the final expansion that favors many, awesome kitchens. Most notably, this DLC introduces a new horde mode that introduces lightweight survival elements into standard arcade action. Here, instead of having one windows launch, there are now three or four, and each is usually attacked by Unbread headsets. While the breadless zombies are waiting for you to finish their orders, they will attack the boards that are smashed through their window, and you will have to spend all the money on orders to keep encrypting the new boards in place that zombies can come in and lower your health bar. In addition, Night of the Hangry Horde introduces some new aspects of the game to its main levels, where you should always blow coals on the furnace to keep the oven going and the cutting boards replaced by a guillotine that quickly cut any food down. The new game mechanics and game mode presented here make Night of the Hangry Horde the best of times, putting everything one could ask for without the DLC expansion.
The last DLC on the go for the season is Carnival of Chaos, which sees our chefs showcase their power under the Big Top. Compared to the previous two increases, this sounds like a lot to kill, but it still includes some of the best ways to make your life hell. The most notable of these is the cooking ability that cooks throughout the map. It requires at least two cookers to use it – one to crawl in, the other to burn the switch – and at times it should be properly aimed to ensure that the projectile cook arrives at the right place. In addition, Carnival of Chaos introduces the concept of combo food to the mix, which often requires the use of a new condiment machine and brewing equipment. Though Carnival of Chaos is lost & # 39; wow & # 39; factor here is really changing the way you approach your cooking, still providing some levels that are challenging enough to deal with and interesting to see.
The next notable DLC is a standalone campaign of equal length called Surf & # 39; n & # 39; Turf, which sees your chefs donning their swimming trunks and providing assistance at a hotel restaurant. Most notably, there is usually no dishwasher here; instead, your chefs should use a nearby water rifle to wash dishes and extinguish fires from time to time. In addition, fireplaces in the fireplace are often used to fuel fires by making kebabs. You wonder how these seemingly innocuous tools can affect your performance, and the presence of water nearby confirms Surf & # 39; n & # 39; Turf features another solid level drawing in Overcooked 2.
Finally, there is the season's update content, which is added free to the basic game for all players to enjoy. The first of these is a campaign focused on China's New Year, and it is very informative someone else a new mode of game called & # 39; Survival & # 39; Here, you add precious seconds to the clock with each order delivered successfully, and your goal is to make it as efficient as possible before failing. Another part of the season's content is called Winter Wonderland and sees your chefs making various Christmas themed desserts on the ice sheet. This content combines several ideas presented throughout the previous DLC, making it the kind of variety pack that keeps you guessing.
Conclusion
In case you haven't picked it up from the study so far, Team17 and the City Games are exploring a too much of cool ideas about DLC content, and ensured that each expansion had its own unique theme and gameplay mechanics. If you think all of this is done without a stellar base campaign – which already feels complete on its own – Overcooked 2: Gourmet Edition stands as a no-brainer. Overcooke 2 is one of the best local games you can buy a switch for, and if you were looking for that next game to play when you have friends over, then look no further.
