9 Brutal Video Games You'll Only Beat Through Repetition
7. Overcooked
Developed by Ghost Town Games, Overcooked is an unassuming indie title that upon inspection looks like a magical tale about you and your friends running a restaurant.
Players control a colorful cast of adorable characters ranging from mermaids to raccoons in wheelchairs. You'll meet the jolly Onion King and his cute little dog named Kevin who send you on an adventure through the Onion Kingdom to become the greatest chefs in the land.
However, don't be fooled by the facade of brightly colored kitchens and simple recipes. It's not uncommon to unleash your inner Gordon Ramsay when the tomato soup you've just finished cooking is about to burn, and you can't find a plate because someone hasn't bothered to clean the dirty dishes.
It might be the first time you've found yourself yelling the words "My $#*!@^& tomato soup is about to $#*!@^& burn if someone doesn't hand me a plate!!"
Although repetitive, the act of chopping vegetables over and over and putting them in a pot is far from easy. When you throw in variables like moving kitchens and relying on other players for support, doing the same action multiple times becomes an exercise in skill and planning.
