Untitled Goose Game | Mar 10, 2020 | 2:30hrs | rating: 1.5/5
You’re a goose, and you have to annoy the humans to cross off a checklist of goals.
GAMEPLAY: You grab items in order to lure the humans to or away from stuff. It’s mostly trial-and-error to achieve things like “make the man spit out his tea” or “dress the statue”, and it gets tiresome quickly. I just wish there was a more logical way of progressing that didn’t require a random to-do list.
AUDIOVISUALLY: Some of the most authentic clean cartoon graphics I’ve seen, it’s kind of perfect. The music is just some adaptive piano stuff that isn’t memorable at all. The game is too quiet!
STORY/PRESENTATION: You’re just dropped into this little village and start doing things. There is an end goal, but it’s not explained or hinted at until you’ve reached it. I suppose it encourages fun and freedom, but for me it made the game too aimless.
MULTIPLAYER: None. There should have been! How hard can it be to add a second goose.
Although there’s a lot of charm, silliness and fun animations, it’s very short, mostly tedious and just not fun to play.
