#Overcooked2 is a game with shallow game play. Find out why and how this might not be as bad as you think. The #gamedesign in Overcooked 2 keeps actions shallow to allow the cooperative nature of the game to be accessible to many players.
We take a look at how the game play actions have been bound to a single station for each allowing any player to take part in any part of the level. This allows strategies to develop and new players can be brought into the team quickly.
Level design in Overcooked 2 also plays a role in the difficulty of the level due to the arrangement of kitchen.
Improving on the prequel game #overcooked by adding new interesting levels, set pieces and systems for players to arrange teams and overcome, we learn about how the game play is constructed and how having shallow game play actually compliments the game play of Overcooked 2 by allowing many game play benefits.
