Is overcooked a 2D or 3D game?
and is don’t starve a 2D or 3D game?
Overcooked is a 3D game and Don’t Starve is a 3D game with 2D arts, billboard rendering, so you can’t call it 3D, it is 2D.
Thanks.
Does it really matter?
Is the art 2D or 3D? Is the camera 2D or 3D? Is the gameplay 2D or 3D? Each one of those is a much more easily agreed upon item than a generic “is game 2d/3d.”

When people talk about this subject they use a blanket statement, which is of course incorrect. To decipher it, divide the subject up into 2 parts:
- art style
- gameplay axis of freedom
Since all games regardless of visuals these days will use a 3D engine of some sort as this is the most efficient way to render, we can safely omit that from the discussion within the context of the Unity engine.

Does it matter? Don’t starve uses hybrid approach. 3d backgrounds with 2d characters. This kind of thing pops up in many places. Disgaea and Breath of Fire comes to mind.
