One Of The Best Co-Op Games Is Now Free To Download

Both of these titles are available until June 24 only - so act fast to download what is still one of the most furiously fun multiplayer games you'll ever enjoy locally - subject to the availability and demeanor of friends, naturally.

The Overcooked! 2 that's on offer is the base game, usually worth £19.99. A range of DLC is available, which'll cost you a little extra - but a little extra on top of nothing really isn't that much now, is it. There's the Campfire Cook Off, Night of the Hangry Horde, Carnival of Chaos and more DLC to consider, should the freebie version be to your liking. Published by Team17 and developed by Ghost Town Games, the original Overcooked! 2 released in 2018 to much acclaim, and went on to win a handful of awards including Best Family Game at the 2018 Game Awards.

Covering the All You Can Eat edition of Overcooked and its sequel, plus all DLC, in early 2021, our own Ewan Moore wrote: "It's in the most intense moments that Overcooked! is at its absolute best. Each level typically lasts about two to three minutes, and each one offers an anarchic, exhilarating burst of utter carnage. There are moments in which you and your fellow players lock into a state of perfect synergy, smashing out order after order even as the world around you falls apart. These are, without doubt, among the most satisfying moments I have ever experienced in a video game."

Once Overcooked! 2 and Hell Is Other Demons have shuffled off on June 24, it's the turn of the excellent retro-arcade racer Horizon Chase Turbo and the exceptional 2D return-to-form that is Sonic Mania (the best side-scrolling Sonic since Sonic 2) to fill your free games boots with. Don't miss those, as they're both absolute crackers. Click to the Epic Games Store to grab 'em while they're available.
