Overcooked 2 in the present day launched its free Spring Festival replace, inviting us to have fun the Year of the Rat by cooking up some yummy new dishes on some fairly new ranges.
The Lunar New Year-themed content material could have us exercising our culinary muscle mass in 5 new kitchens, dodging a Chinese dragon that appears like he by accident wandered in from a neighborhood parade.
In Overcooked 2 you’re employed alone or with as much as 4 individuals in co-op to cook dinner and serve meals in more and more chaotic kitchens. It’s an effective way to make and break friendships, and as Jay describes in her Overcooked 2 review, it’s “fast-paced, hilarious, and just the right amount of stressful.”
As effectively as new ranges, this replace is introducing new recipes too, permitting us to serve issues like sizzling pots, dim sum and fruit platters to our affected person prospects.
This Lunar New Year we’re celebrating the Year of the Rat, which is undoubtedly why one of many new playable characters is the truth is, a rat. This is a bit bizarre to me as a result of on some ranges it’s a must to take care of these annoying little rats that steal your meals, and it’s a must to kick them away to get your stuff again. Does the playable rat character do this? How tousled is that? They’re in all probability his household, however in some unusual Ratatouille-esque twist he’s the one which’s come out on prime, kicking his brothers apart so he could make it huge as an expert chef.
Anyway, there’s one other new character too that appears like a tortoise, or he might be a kappa, however I hope he’s a tortoise as a result of in any other case that’s worse than the rat factor.
The Spring Festival replace is totally free for Overcooked 2, which you may get on Steam, Nintendo Switch and PS4 proper now. Overcooked 2 can be obtainable on GOG, although the replace appears to be arriving late to that retailer.
