The game is enjoyable, but players report poor optimization on PS4, with some levels experiencing frame rates below 60 fps, which is disappointing given its simplistic design.
“Very fun game, but poorly optimized on PS4, as some levels have sub-60 FPS, which is disappointing for a simplistic game like this.”
“The optimization is lacking; frequent frame drops make the experience frustrating.”
“I expected better performance; the game struggles to maintain a stable frame rate even on high-end PCs.”

80%Overcooked 2: Gourmet Edition
In case you haven’t gathered it yet from reading thus far, Team17 and Ghost Town Games explored a lot of cool ideas via DLC content, and ensured that each expansion had unique theming and gameplay mechanics. Considering that all of this is offered in addition to the absolutely stellar base campaign – which already felt complete on its own – Overcooked 2: Gourmet Edition really stands as a no-brainer. Overcooked 2 is one of the very best local co-op games you can currently buy for the Switch, and if you’ve been looking for that next game to play when you have friends over, look no further than this.
