Untitled goose game review
The gooses solitary quest to mess with the peaceful inhabitants of a village is a clever arrangement of stealth puzzles and. Surprisingly, though, Untitled Goose Game is very reminiscent of Hitman in its design. The game about the bad goose will be discounted from $19.99, for a limited time at launch, to $14.99. This stealth-puzzle-comedy game stars a powerful white goose and includes all the honking, flapping and pecking that you can handle.
UNTITLED GOOSE GAME REVIEW MAC
Untitled Goose Game is out now for Windows and Mac via the Epic Game Store, and Nintendo Switch. Whatever their plans, House House has created a world I want to continue to be horrible in. Or possibly even release a sequel with a story - maybe the goose does shenanigans for good, like a Parent Trap in which its actions make the villagers fall in love with each other? This wasn’t designed for GTA levels of playtime, and I can’t remember the last game that made me. It’s a timeless, evergreen concept that’ll be fun to play for as long as geese continue to walk this Earth just generally being the worst, so I’m really hoping House House will add more challenges and areas through DLC. The game's small village gets repetitive after a while, but that really, really doesn’t matter. The to-do list populates with a couple more bonus items after the credits roll, and you can pick up the game again to do timed challenges. The village isn’t too big, so it’s a quick, tidy little game you can finish over the course of a weekend. Unfortunately, you cannot jump, fling items at people, or fly, but your presence alone is enough to put everyone else on edge, which is a kind of power I appreciate. You can duck, run, grab things with your beak, and flap your wings, which serves no real value to the game but is a fun, goose-like thing you can do. There’s a dedicated button for honking at people, which you’d better believe is the best button to go wild with. Untitled Goose Game lets you fall into the calming, pleasant escapism of an Animal Crossing game, where there are no real stakes - just the absolute freedom to be an animal that doesn’t have to answer to any consequences.

Instead, you drive them crazy with the gentlest of pranks, like making a boy (lovingly cast as “Wimp” in the credits) put on glasses that are not his. Even when there’s no music playing in the background, the “pat-pat-pat” of the goose’s feet as they slap against the pavement is, in a word, healing.Ĭompared to something like Goat Simulator, there’s no disorienting chaos or points assigned to how hard you can head-butt people. (Contrast, Lighting, Tracking, Clutter) Untitled Goose Game is illustrated in a cel-shading style that intentionally makes things look very flat. The piano melody turns frantic as you’re being chased out by an angry shopkeeper with a broom, and slows down when you’re in the clear.

The music will start up as you’re wrestling with the gardener for his keys, and stop when the keys are dropped. The dynamic piano soundtrack, an adaptation of Debussy’s Préludes, crescendoes the more havoc is being wreaked. Everything about this game - from the pastel tones of the quaint English village to the little squiggly shout lines from the goose’s honk - is overwhelmingly lovely.
