I recommend this game to anyone who enjoys straightforward goofy coordination games with friends.

This game feels like the tougher, sillier, and more chaotic cousin of Overcooked or PlateUp! It has a linear level design, where each kitchen has sequential levels of increasing difficulty, and you have to complete a certain number of stars (up to 5 per level) per kitchen to advance to the next. Character advantages and unlockable perks make the job much easier.

The biggest difference from other games in the food-service genre is the emphasis on movement, both of the ingredients and the players. Most of the levels are quite vertical and have ingredients, chopping and cooking stations, drinks, sinks, and tables scattered across the map, requiring a lot of coordination and, of course, food slinging, to serve the customers in a timely fashion. The fact that thrown food can knock you or customers out adds an additional level of both hilarity and difficulty to this mechanic.

The biggest downside is that there are some stability issues, particularly in the later levels/kitchens. It can be frustrating when you're finally on a roll and suddenly a player loses frames or crashes. However, those incidents are usually isolated enough to make the overall experience worthwhile.

As a casual completionism enjoyer, the grind for characters, perks, and cosmetics via achievements was very rewarding as well. Probably a third of the time I've spent in-game was searching maps or doing parkour for a cosmetic, going back to old levels to reach Expert for a perk, or ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ around trying to tame that damn mouse (we still haven't done it!).

TL;DR: food slung, friends smacked, fun game

I've played over 100 hours of Borderlands 2 on Xbox 360. It works great on PC too. Good story, fun variety of classes and skill trees, and a million different ways to play. I would highly recommend playing with friends!

The early puzzles are easy, but they get much harder as you go along. The instructions you can put together get more complex, and it gets harder and harder to 100% areas. In my opinion, the game does a great job of introducing new mechanics in simple levels, then gradually ramping up the difficulty of those mechanics through subsequent levels. (And there are a LOT of mechanics, given that this game is built entirely around building the rules of the level!)
