Overcooked vs Totally Accurate Battlegrounds
Overcooked
Overcooked is a fun cooking-themed time management game that has a wicked, co-operative twist - instead of managing workers in your kitchen like some version of Gordon Ramsay, you will get to play with up to 4 of your friends. By now, you can probably imagine the havoc around the kitchen as each of you dashes around in order to get a dish from its humble beginning as raw food into something actually edible. Of course, the game does have a single-player mode if you prefer to play on your own, but admittedly, the game becomes a whole lot more entertaining when other humans are added to the equation.The game also has a quirky storyline set in the fantasy kingdom called Onion Kingdom. Apparently, the kingdom is in danger and only through cooking will you be able to save it. In your adventure, you and your team of chefs will journey through a series of unusually interesting kitchens in hopes of gaining the skills needed to defeat the edible evil which threatens the land.
Overcooked is definitely the game to play if you're into hectic co-op games that will not only push your team's time management skills to the limit, but also put your friendship to the test!
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.
