Entry 1181 - Overcooked - Kingdom Tour


Style: video game music

Primary Emotions/Themes: A soundtrack that is every bit as lively as the conversations had while playing the game

Thoughts: I don't know if there is a more stressful game in my collection than Overcooked. Trying to play/coordinate this with friends/family is a quick way to start arguments and or end up sleeping on the couch for the night. 

Listening to the soundtrack... it brings back a lot of suppressed memories. Shouting requests back and fourth as the kitchen is sliding from side to side. Wondering who is going to do the dishes. Meanwhile the music hums so cheerfully to itself in the background without a care in the world.

This is the perfect soundtrack for the game. It doesn't draw attention to itself, nor does it distract from the task at hand. I just don't know if it works well as an album unto itself.
