🍳Overcooked! 2
Short-order kitchen chaos. Someone is always on fire.
Up to four cooks assemble orders in increasingly insane kitchens (pirate ships, hot-air balloons, moving trucks). The stress-tier co-op experience — tempers flare, friendships hold.

Quickstart
How to actually play this with friends — written by Claude.## Set it up - Install via Steam; supports local split-screen (up to 4 controllers) and online co-op through the in-game friend invite - Settle your controller situation before launch — a keyboard-only player will get wrecked against three gamepads on a chaotic level - Nothing else to tune in settings; the whole difficulty curve is the kitchen layout itself
## Your first session - Start on World 1 even if it looks easy — the early levels teach the plate-passing and chopping rhythm you'll need later - Call out orders and stations constantly ("I've got soup, someone plate!") — silent runs fall apart fast once fire enters the mix - Rotate who's on fire-extinguisher duty; someone always needs to be watching for a burning pan while everyone else cooks
## Group size advice - Best at 3-4 — enough hands to specialize (chopping, plating, expediting) without the kitchen feeling too crowded - 2 players still works and forces tighter coordination on every station - A genuinely great pick for mixed-skill groups; nobody needs game skill, just the ability to yell "BEHIND YOU"
