If you like puzzles and overcooked you probably love this game. Figuring out different meals is very fun and while this game doesn't have quite the appeal as a major indie title in the mod-ability and reply value it is very close. It's essentially a roguelite but in the wackiest of ways. You could most likely get 40 hours out of the standard game especially if aiming for a decent Overtime score, but mods is where this game really shines, and at least currently the discord is quite active, finding a team to join is not an issue most nights, though there is some wonkiness with NA vs EU on connecting.
The soundtrack can be repetitive and does suffer from 'Short byte on repeat' but is so catchy it hardly matters.
9/10 for me, exemplary indie title.

I don't think every genre needs the rougelike treatment, but throwing those elements into OVERCOOKED leads to a pretty fun spin on the formula! I like that this expands the concept beyond the kitchen, where the whole restaurant needs to be managed and addressed at all times.
Cooking is simple and gets progressively complicated in a fair way. Having to strategize which restaurant upgrades you'll take adds a nice layer to the proceedings. I played with a friend and it's a lot of fun to decide what steps to take day by day. Another reviewer noted it would be nice to expand the restaurant out with further successes and I wholeheartedly agree.
Charming AND challenging. A very fun game to play!

Like other roguelikes, PlateUp! has a strong, addictive start and fizzles out as the game goes on. There are decent concepts and ingredients here, but once you learn what works and what doesn't you're left with something that is too bland to be a frantic multiplayer experience and too shallow to be a great automation builder.
