    For those of you that were able to get a next gen console, check out the next game in the Overcooked series.

    That’s right! An all new Overcooked! experience is ready to play on the recently released next-gen consoles. All You Can Eat is a combination of the first two Overcooked games, but with all DLC included, a 4K visual upgrade, and all sorts of other new goodies (levels, chefs, recipes) to make this the best Overcooked experience yet.

    Not only that, but Overcooked will finally be going online. The one key thing that this insane party game has been missing is finally being added. Now you can enjoy the frantic kitchen madness with your friends, without having to be in the same room with them.

    The multiplayer will also be cross platform, that way you can still play with your friends on Xbox if you went with PlayStation, and visa versa. Click here to get the PlayStation 5 version, and here to get the Xbox version.

    Overcooked and Overcooked 2 have been combined and upgraded for an all new experience in Overcooked! All You Can Eat.

    That’s right! An all new Overcooked! experience is on its way to the new upcoming consoles. All You Can Eat is a combination of the first two Overcooked games, but with all DLC included, a 4K visual upgrade, and all sorts of other new goodies (levels, chefs, recipes) to make this the best Overcooked experience yet.

    Overcooked 2

    Not only that, but Overcooked will finally be going online. The one key thing that this insane party game has been missing is finally being added. Now you can enjoy the frantic kitchen madness with your friends, without having to be in the same room with them. The multiplayer will also be cross platform, that way you can still play with your friends on Xbox if you go with PlayStation, and visa versa.

    Unfortunately, it doesn’t look like this game will be coming to the Nintendo Switch (considering 4k). But it will release on both the PlayStation 5 as well as the Xbox Series X, so no matter which you choose on that front, you will still have Overcooked on your plate!

    New Modes

    Another great addition to the series is that all new assist mode. This will make things easier for those that tend to find themselves overwhelmed by the intensity that can be found in these hectic games. The new mode will allow you to slow the recipe timeout, skip levels, and change how long you have to complete each level.

    With all these new additions and changes, it’s almost like we are getting an all new Overcooked game with All You Can Eat! There is still no release date, other than coming soon. But since we are still waiting for the next generation consoles on which the game will release, I’m assuming not that soon.

    Features List

    • Over 200 levels of culinary chaos
    • Seven new levels
    • Three new chefs
    • 60 FPS gameplay in stunning 4K resolution
    • Faster loading times
    • Brand new trophies and achievements

    The Epic Games Store is giving away the original Overcooked for free this weekend.

    The Epic Games Store is always giving away free games, which is the exclusive reason for using the service for many people. Recently, the Borderlands Handsome Edition was free, but is now being replaced with the original Overcooked. The game will be free to download and keep until June 11th.

    Overcooked is a fast paced cooking party game that is a hoot and a holler to play with your friends. Frantically scurry about the kitchen and divvy up the duties between friends to get as many orders out as you can in the required amount of time. Dodge nonsensical obstacles and be sure not to burn anything in an attempt to please all the impatient customers!

    Overcooked

    For those that have never played them, the Overcooked games are sure to be a surprising amount of fun. For you “seasoned” veterans, this is one cooky original that should definitely be in your games library.

    If you haven’t completed you holiday shopping yet, or would just like to get yourself something nice, I’ve got you covered here! If you’re an animal-lover and a gamer, below are cute gift ideas for both actual games and video game related merchandise. I’ve even separated the categories as follows: cats, dogs, foxes, fish, and birds!

    Aside from the obvious games like Planet Zoo, there are many other indie games with a strong focus on said animals or where you get to be them as playable characters! I recommended my favorite things that you can purchase right now, along with other upcoming games you may want to keep an eye out for future gifts! Every game has animals but offers something vastly different from one to the other.

    Cats

    There’s just something about these furry feline friends that is so adorable! Below are some games where you can breed them, grow them (yes like plants), ride them (giant cats), and love them!

    Cattails

    Developed and published by Falcon Entertainment for PC, Mac and Linux (Steam here) on December 1st of 2017, the game has garnered very ‘paws-itive’ feedback since its release. Through the eyes of a cat, Cattails allows players to hunt for food, interact with other cats, gather herbs, and explore an expansive world. It’s also available now on the Nintendo Switch here for only $19.99.

    This is the main hero from Cat Quest! A Dragonblood descending from a long line of dragon slayers, this yellow warrior must summon his pawsome power to defeat Drakoth and save his sister! The Cat Quest plush, officially licensed from Gentle Bros., is 10 inches tall and made with high quality soft minky. Buy it here for $24.99 and also receive a shiny pin!

    The following games are in the images below: Peace Island, Snacko, Mineko, Calico, Catadel.

    Dogs

    Dogs are indeed lovable and loyal which makes them the perfect companion in games. Below are some games that allow you to cook with them (be them, not eat them), take photos of them, and make sure they get rescued and/or adopted!

    Buy it Now

    Food Pup Truck

    Food Truck Pup: Cooking Chef is a cute mobile cooking and management game by Game Start. Prepare crepes in the cooking game and design your shop with furniture you like. You can dress up the adorable pixel dogs, too. There’s a Shiba Inu, a retriever, a beagle, and more. The game is now available on iOS and Android for free although if this is a gift, you may want to purchase a gift card for those in-app purchases. Shop on Amazon for an App Store card here or a Google Play card here.

    This officially licensed mug from Ghost Town Games sports an adorable pattern that includes beloved Overcooked pooch Kevin! It also happens to pair nicely with the other cooking game with dogs above which is something I cleverly thought of just for you! Buy it here for $15.99 by DesignByHumans.

    Foxes

    There’s a surprising amount of games with foxes in them, possibly because they are so majestic and make for a good character in a heartbreaking story. Below are some games that allow you to save the day or arcade with them, and wonder beautiful landscapes.

    Super Lucky’s Tale is a charming 3D adventure and platforming game featuring a rambunctious little fox.

    Introducing a new Steam feature that lets you play your couch co-op games with friends over the internet, together.

    Since October 21st, 2019, you can join Steam’s Beta of their new feature Remote Play Together. This feature allows you to invite your Steam Friends to play local co-op, local multiplayer, and shared/split screen games online! This means two things: that you don’t need friends to be physically present in your home, and that every player will have access to their own computer screen and mouse/keyboard/controllers!

    This feature gets even better because only the host of Steam’s Remote Play Together needs a copy of the game! No more having to buy your friends the same Steam game just to be able to play together! Furthermore, don’t worry if you have a Mac, Linux or PC because this streaming service is cross-platform.

    The process for setting up this feature is very simple with the details laid out here. Moreover, Valve has specifically pointed out that players will have access to the host’s controller inputs, voice chat volume and game screen but not the host’s desktop. To join the Beta now you can go here.

    Valve is currently working on improving network stability, compatibility across a variety of hardware, and adding more games to their growing list of supported titles. You can check out the thousands of games here. If you want to know if a specific game is supported, look for this new tag above!

    To help get you started, I recommend the following wholesome, potato-approved games:

    I’m now a Steam Curator so you can find all of my recommended Steam games here! Let’s be Steam Friends! Also, if you have any recommendations, I’d like to hear them!

    On February 5th, 2019, Ghost Town Games, the developers of Overcooked 2, just added another update and it’s completely free! To celebrate the Chinese New Year, they’ve added two new traditional recipes of the festival; the fruit platter (cutting up mangoes, grapes and oranges) and a hot pot (meat, bok choy, prawn and noodles)! They’ve also added two new chefs; a traditional Chinese dragon and a pig as 2019 is the Year of the Pig!

    2 new chefs – playable up to 4 players co-cooperatively

    Go under “Story”, then “Extras” and select “Seasonal Updates”. There you will find the previous Christmas special, Kevin’s Christmas Cracker, and the 7 brand-new levels to play through from the Chinese New Year special! You start off in what looks like a hub world where you can see portals to enter both holiday updates so it looks like they might be planning on adding even more!

    Watch out for those pesky dragons!

    For more added features with the latest Overcooked 2 update, go here. For a more in-depth look at the levels, you can view Team17’s hour-long livestream at the top of this article!

    Make sure that pot is over the open flame to cook your ingredients!
