Great game but buy the right version (physical vs digital)
A great game which brings the best enhancements from Overcooked 2 to Overcooked 1 (though throwing items is limited to Overcooked 2 and newer levels). 2 caveats though to consider when purchasing THIS item are that 1) Disc based versions of this item are only playable on Xbox Series (X or S) or PS5 consoles. If you buy the disc based version of this game YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO PLAY IT ON AN XBOX ONE OR PS4 CONSOLE! I made that mistake on my initial purchase. However if you buy the digital version of All You Can Eat it will run on the last gen of systems (xbox one or ps4) as well as grant you the digital version of the Series X/S or PS5 version as well. Buying the disc based version will not grant you access to a digital version on the last gen systems. The 2nd caveat is that though the game offers cross platform play, meaning that you can play with others online who own the game regardless of what system they own it for (ps4/ps5/xb1/xsx/switch) there simply aren't alot of people who own All You Can Eat so the player pool is kind of sparse at the moment. All You Can Eat players cannot play online with players who only own Overcooked 2 (Overcooked 1 "did" not feature online play). This may change after Sept 2021 as the game is part of the ps plus "free game" catalog opening it up to millions of PS5 owners for "free" but that remains to be seen. In my opinion though, if you are looking to play Overcooked, the All You Can Eat edition is the way to do it. The biggest question then is if you should buy it digitally or a physical copy in which case it really depends on what game system you are buying it for. Only playing on Xbox Series X or PS5 (with disc), then buy the physical version. Playing on XB1, PS4, or the digital only next gen systems (Xbox Series S or PS5 discless) then buy the digital version for the system of your choice. A bonus in buying the digital version for xb1 or ps4 owners is that should you acquire a Xbox Series system or PS5 in the future you will receive the enhanced version of All You Can Eat at no additional cost.
