Overcooked 2 vs Totally Accurate Battlegrounds
Overcooked 2
Overcooked 2 is the highly-anticipated sequel to the insanely popular, cooperative cooking simulation game, Overcooked. Featuring the same hilarious and hectic gameplay as the original, Overcooked 2 provides a brand-new storyline where you'll need to save the Onion Kingdom from another villain, The Unbread; themed kitchens to cook in; and more recipes to unlock! In this game, you can even "throw" ingredients to your fellow chef as the levels churn out new challenges to test your mettle.Overcooked 2 looks like it'll be as great a game as its predecessor, and as a fan of the previous game, I really hope they don't botch the release!
Totally Accurate Battlegrounds
Totally Accurate Battlegrounds has rapidly grown from being simply a belated April Fools' parody of the increasingly popular Battle Royal genre into a full-blown battle royale game itself (note the irony). The game has a fun crystalline-like graphical style and a gameplay that may remind you of Player Unknown's Battlegrounds (PUBG)... basically meaning that although you cannot build stuff, you can drive vehicles, including helicopters.What sets this game apart from all the other battle royale games is how "not serious" the game takes itself. The silliness in this game is through the roof, making it an excellent game to goof around with friends. The game touts a "physics-based everything", giving rise to hilarious moments while playing, such as getting blown off the ledge you're barely standing on due to the recoil effect from your gun. Of course, like PUBG, there are tons of cosmetics for your "weirdo" character to wear, sometimes to comedic effect - a Gandalf-slash-samurai, anyone?
In the realm of competitive battle royale gaming, it's really nice to see a game such as Totally Accurate Battlegrounds taking a mickey out of the possibly-overhyped and heavily-marketed genre. The game is currently undergoing a major overhaul due to its shift from free-to-play to premium and will be adding in anti-cheat measure and matchmaking, as well as improving server operations. As such, if you're thinking of getting this game, you might want to wait a bit.
