Overcooked! 2 – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Review Cons

• Some of the new levels irritate more than innovate.
• The update pack from the Switch 1 version to the Switch 2 version is just the game, and you lose out as you don’t get DLC with it. 
• There is not enough clear information everywhere as to what you get with one version over the other, and especially with the upgrade pack. 
• Any type of lag will ruin the game.
• Feels at times like a big DLC drop rather than a new game. That soon disappears, but it definitely starts that way.
• No online leaderboards for the levels.
• Ruins friend/relationships.
• Causes a lot of swearing.
• Blinking and breathing can be hard thanks to the frantic pace.
• It can get very overwhelming.
• Kind of has to play the story to get all the characters and locations unlocked.
• Not fun to play solo. You have to constantly change chefs and manage so much, it’s not fun.
