Review Overcooked: Special Edition (Switch eShop)
Well done
Part of the draw and charm of the Nintendo Switch is the increased focus that it puts on local multiplayer. Nintendo has always been the king of that style of play, but the Switch takes this to a whole new level when you combine the portability factor with at least two controllers that are always ready to go. Though there are already...

Well here's a surprise from The Game Awards! The team behind Overcooked, Ghost Town Games, has announced that it's teaming up with No Man's Sky's Hello Games on an all-new couch co-op experience, Stage Fright. From what we've seen so far, this isn't Overcooked (nor is it Overcooked 2), but it does look just as chaotic...

News Overcooked: Special Edition Update Brings Silky-Smooth Framerate
A little longer in the oven works wonders
We rather liked Overcooked: Special Edition when it brought chaotic co-op cookery to the Switch back in July. It's been very popular on other platforms previously of course, but there is nothing like playing on the Switch on-the-go in tabletop mode with a friend, is there? Unfortunately, there...
News The Overcooked: Special Edition Performance Patch Is Nearing Release
Targeting that cinematic 30 FPS
We think Overcooked: Special Edition is a standout game in the Switch’s growing catalogue, but the one major problem to be found in this particular version is the relatively shoddy performance compared to other versions. Overcooked runs at a steady 30 FPS on other platforms, but stutters somewhere around 20 FPS on...

When does this come out?!
I have the steam version of this game, is very funny. And of course i have the switch version now. But something is wrong. The loading times remember to the NBA playgrounds before the update. And the movement in the game feels slow. Need a better optimization work
@oselp it's very normal, expect it to be patched soon with a update
Amazing co-op fun for four players! Love it
The ultimate friendship test
The most frustrating $20 we've ever spent. The controls were horrible and made the game barely playable. Perhaps that's part of the game design, keeping things chaotic and hard to play. But there is no reason to make it hard by NOT responding to button presses or intentionally picking up the wrong items.
If you enjoy paying for torture, go for it. Otherwise find something much more relaxing and enjoyable.
@blueprint , you might have controller drift. Ours works perfectly.
@ bluepint , you might have controller drift. Our copy works perfect
