I played the All You Can Eat Version on Switch.

A lot of odd glitches from teleporting, dying randomly, and non-player 1 players getting dropped from the game occasionally. As for the game itself, it built a strong enough foundation to be enjoyable. The teamwork, time management, and decision making is impeccable. As a single player experience, the first game is way harder since you're unable to throw. I feel like the stage gimmicks are a lot more diverse and difficult than in the sequel, which surprised me. I'm not sure why some of the gimmicks didn't make a comeback like the dark room and the door panels. The game really shines when playing it in multiplayer though, where it puts your communication skills to the test. It can definitely be a frustrating experience and it will put your relationships to the test, but it has the accessibility and chaos that make it a fun game for casual gamers to enjoy too.

Overcooked 1 & 2 are absolute top tier party games, but they do require some actual video game acumen to be any useful at. Your mom will get frustrated playing this
