Camped Out!

Gather resources, build a campfire and set up your tent—it’s time to go camping.

There is certainly no shortage of games that look and feel like “Overcooked”, but developers are still finding new and interesting scenarios for co-op activities under time pressure. In “Camped Out!” you find yourself at a campsite and have to pitch tents together with friends—just in time before nightfall.

The tutorial takes place at a very basic campsite. However, the levels quickly become more and more difficult—either due to environmental influences like heavy rain or because of other challenges (e.g. tight space on a raft). The objective is always the same: you have to unpack a bag of stuff, use your tools to mine resources, set up a tent and cook some food. Thanks to the various tasks and certain game mechanics (e.g. timers when building items), you can’t just work in parallel. Instead, you need to work together and coordinate your moves.

In theory, “Camped Out!” checks all the right boxes for a co-op game. However, it doesn’t come close to the quality of “Overcooked” or “Moving Out”. For example, due to the wide variety of items, you often pick up the wrong things which can become a bit frustrating. Still, “Camped Out!” is by no means a bad game. If you can't get enough of the genre, it’s definitely worth a look.

Why you should play it:

• Interesting scenario and neat co-op mechanics focing you to actually work together.
• There are two difficulty levels (Normal and Casual) and they adapt well to different numbers of players.
