10 Video Games That Cost ALL YOUR FRIENDS

It’s often said that you should avoid going into business with your friends - a maxim so perfectly embodied by the superficially cosy cooking sim Overcooked.

The game’s cutesy visuals belie how overwhelmingly stressful it can be, though, testing your ability to effectively communicate and multi-task alongside three friends.

Overcooked tasks players with prepping, cooking, and serving a seemingly never-ending barrage of meals as a team, a matter made more complicated by both a time limit and environmental obstacles peppered throughout each level.

Delegating tasks and an ability to change-up strategies on-the-fly are paramount to success, ensuring that before long, you’ll doubtless be left angrily barking orders at your “colleagues” with all the ferocity of a character from The Bear.

It is a game literally designed to test friendships amid the searing, sweaty heat of a kitchen’s flame, and one that might well leave you questioning just how useful your comrades would be in an actual emergency.
