6. Overcooked

Overcooked shares the same genre as Stikbold! A Dodgeball Story; take a normal activity that most people are familiar with, and put the players in a ludicrous environment that's out to get you.

As a team of chefs, you need to chop, grill and serve your way to satisfying the orders of your customers. Unfortunately, as you progress through the levels, you'll encounter increasingly bizarre kitchen layouts, from narrow one way systems meaning when one of you moves, you all must move, to a kitchen divided amongst vans speeding past each other on a motorway.

Where Overcooked really shines is that it brings new meaning to the term "local co-op". Not only is it another sofa multiplayer, but players have the option to work together as a team (you can compete as well, if you want to), which makes for some hilarious yelling as you try to desperately chop the lettuce in time, and, more often than not, some very overdone burgers.
