This is absolutely a skill issue so imma recommend this, but ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ is this difficult on keyboard and mouse, but like i said its a skill issue on my end. Its fun though so its worth picking up during the steam sales.
If you want a stress-free game, run away. If you want to feel rage or adrenaline, this game is for you. Playing solo requires patience, determination, and a lot of curse words to make yourself feel better. If you're gonna play with friends, then best of luck to your friendship.
[h1]Nothing tests a friendship quite like trying to run a kitchen together[/h1] Overcooked is one of those games that looks incredibly simple at first, but give it a few minutes with friends and the entire kitchen can turn into complete chaos. The basic idea is straightforward: prepare ingredients, cook them, serve the orders and keep everything moving. The problem is that there are usually about ten things that need to happen at the same time, and only so much you can realistically keep track of. One person is chopping, another is cooking, someone is washing dishes, an order is about to expire, and suddenly somebody has set the kitchen on fire. This is where the local multiplayer really shines. Playing together on the same screen makes the whole experience so much more entertaining, because communication is absolutely essential, yet it rarely goes according to plan. You start out calmly deciding who does what, and a few minutes later everyone is shouting instructions at each other while running around trying to save whatever food hasn't already burned. The levels do a great job of constantly changing the situation as well. Moving platforms, narrow kitchens, obstacles and other ridiculous layouts make even basic recipes surprisingly difficult to manage. The more pressure there is, the easier it is for a perfectly organised kitchen to descend into complete disaster. And honestly, that's the best part of Overcooked. Even when everything goes wrong, it's usually hilarious rather than frustrating. Watching your carefully planned kitchen operation collapse because someone forgot to wash a plate or threw the wrong ingredient into a pan creates some genuinely memorable moments. It's a fantastic local co-op game and probably best experienced with a few friends sitting together in the same room. Easy to pick up, difficult to coordinate, and capable of turning a completely ordinary cooking session into absolute madness.
