A big factor in any kind of social gaming I want to do is comedy. The game has to let us laugh at each other and still be fun for the person being laughed at. That has DEFINITELY been my experience with Overcooked. Pointing fingers and shouting epithets during and after a stage is as much fun as the game itself.
I really enjoy the metaphor of happy hour at the local dive. DRG is one hundred percent that vibe. It’s half off appetizers on a Friday and some banter with the waiter who you know by name. And a new friend being explained nicknames and in-jokes.
The “questionable performance doesn’t ruin the experience” piece feels really important to me.
Our broader friend group united under Overwatch back in 2016 but it fell apart fairly quickly because it broke the above rule.
