Pasta Royale
Pasta Royale is a popular online multiplayer battle royale game. It was released in 2021 for Steam, PlayStation 2 and several smart kitchen appliances.
Players fight one another while avoiding splattering olive oil and pools of deadly tomato sauce, lest they become troppo scotto (overcooked). This doesn't kill the player, but it does make them very sticky.
A Lasagna DLC is rumored to be upcoming within the next year.
Gameplay
A pot of pasta comes turns into a battleground when it comes into contact with the legendary substance Yardinium.
Players can take the role of several playable characters, such as penne, linguini and spaghetti (the sniper character). The game is PvPvE, as players must also fight or avoid NPCs such as Meatballs, Basil Leafs and Onions.
Players can deal damage using their regular or special abilities as well as by lobbing MCTs (Molten Cherry Tomatoes).
The theme song for the game is Sempre Rigatoni, which was composed by Kevin.

Pasta Royale has received generally favourable reviews. Critics have praised the marinara sauce and fresh basil, but some have complained that it needs more garlic and could do with a hint of chili.
