Overcooked! All You Can Eat

Overcooked! All You Can Eat combines the two cooperative cooking games Overcooked! and Overcooked! 2, including expansions, in a standalone, reworked version. Up to four chefs must prepare dishes under time pressure, distribute orders correctly and coordinate in kitchens with constantly changing obstacles.

The collection brings together the stories, levels and extras of both predecessors. Added to that are new kitchens, additional playable characters, online multiplayer for the locations from the first game, and assists that make the difficulty adjustable.

Overcooked! All You Can Eat was released on November 10, 2020 for Xbox Series X|S. The PlayStation 5 version followed on November 12, 2020.

On March 23, 2021, the standalone versions for PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch came out. Additional kitchens were added later through free content updates, including World Food Festival in October 2022.

Overcooked! All You Can Eat is available for PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S and Nintendo Switch. The PS5 and Xbox Series versions were already released at the launch of their respective console generations. The other versions followed in March 2021.

On PC, the game is available via Steam. Shared online matches are possible across all six platform groups.

In each kitchen, ingredients must be chopped, cooked, combined and served on time. Some dishes require several steps. If you wait too long, you lose orders or set the kitchen on fire. Tasks can be divided among the chefs, but transport routes and work surfaces are limited.

Elevators, moving platforms, shifting rooms and other obstacles make teamwork more demanding. The main campaigns lead through numerous locations in the Onion Kingdom and reward fast, error-free runs with stars.

The collection includes the expansions of the first two Overcooked! games and additional content developed specifically for All You Can Eat. The Peckish Rises adds seven kitchens, new characters and mechanics such as cannons or falling axes.

Later, more free kitchens were added: Birthday Party added five birthday levels and a new teleport mechanic. World Food Festival expanded the collection with ten kitchens across three areas, new recipes and delivery orders.

On PC, Overcooked! All You Can Eat requires at least a 64-bit processor, 4 GB RAM, DirectX 11 and 8 GB of storage space. Steam lists as examples an Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 or AMD Phenom II X3 720, plus a GeForce GTS 450 or Radeon HD 5750, each with 1 GB graphics memory.

Recommended: 6 GB RAM, a GeForce GTX 660 or Radeon HD 7870 with 2 GB graphics memory and 10 GB of space. The PC version supports controllers and German on-screen text.

Up to four players can cook together locally or online. Crossplay connects PC, Nintendo Switch, PS4, PS5, Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S. The kitchens from the first Overcooked! can also be played online and across platforms.

For the campaign, you invite players directly. In Arcade mode, public matches with strangers are possible. Local players can join an online round together. All participants need All You Can Eat; a direct shared match with owners of Overcooked! 2 is not possible.

The campaigns of Overcooked! and Overcooked! 2 make up the largest part of the game. To practice individual kitchens, use the practice mode. Survival mode, by contrast, focuses on lasting as long as possible.

Arcade mode lets you play with randomly assigned teammates. There are also Versus matches, where teams compete on completing their orders. In multiplayer, players can talk to each other via voice chat if they enable it.

Assist mode makes difficult kitchens more accessible. Players can extend rounds, set more time for orders, increase point rewards or turn off order expiry entirely.

Further settings allow skipping individual levels, shorten the wait after a mistake or prevent fires caused by burnt food. The aids can be adjusted without changing the challenges of the normal way of playing.

The game offers a scalable user interface with several font sizes and a font variant for people with dyslexia. More clearly distinguishable colors for displays help tell the individual chefs apart.

Players can also reduce camera shake and flashing effects. These options complement the assist mode, which adjusts time pressure, orders and individual gameplay hurdles.

More than 200 kitchens are spread across the campaigns and additional content. After three free content updates, the collection includes 22 kitchens designed specifically for All You Can Eat.

The character selection offers more than 60 chefs and over 130 alternative appearances. The additional variety mainly concerns the design of the characters. The basic goal stays the same in all levels: prepare dishes efficiently and serve them on time.

Save games from Overcooked! and Overcooked! 2 cannot be transferred to All You Can Eat. There is also no shared save between different platforms. Anyone playing the collection on PC and console starts from scratch each time.

All You Can Eat includes both older campaigns and their expansions in reworked form. The original games are separate products. Especially for online co-op play of the first campaign and for cross-platform groups, the collection offers additional options.

The remaster supports resolutions of up to 4K at 60 frames per second on powerful platforms. On Nintendo Switch the game runs at 30 frames per second. The menus are available in German.

The reworked kitchens and characters share a common art style. On PC, controllers are supported, but the Steam version does not offer ultrawide resolution.
