Edit: I've beaten the OC2 campaign. Throwing is a great addition and the stages are a lot better but 3star requirements are too low so it felt like we didn't really earn 3 stars compared to the stricter OC1 campaign. But my co-op partner is scared of 4 stars and there's all the Extra Trimmings anyway so...

I've only done the Overcooked 1 campaign (3 starred) so far but this game is kind of godlike for coop, while also being miserable. It all depends on how well you and your partners can coordinate and strategize. But that's what I love about it. It feels like a true coop game where both players (or more) actually have to work together. Too many games have coop that just really feels like simulatenous single player, and while I love those too in their own way, I just really got into how truly cooperative this game felt. It's also chaotic as fuck, in a fun way, but it can be tad stressful and some of the stage gimmicks (fuck 5-4 in OC1) are evil.

Don't even think about getting this if you don't have someone to play with already. Dunno or care about online but couch coop was a blast. Also I do wish scores retroactively unlocked 4th stars in NG+, as we did earn it for a few levels on our 3 star attempts.
