I'm still quite surprised by the fact that Overcooked succeeded without an online multiplayer mode.

*I don't know how successful Overcooked was, but it was successful enough for them to make Overcooked 2

I think overcooked has a quite different audience, being cooperative rather than competitive. I won't buy a competitive local multiplayer game nowadays, whereas I've bought a lot of cooperative ones to play with my SO, and that's probably fairly common?
