![]() ![]() During your desperate rush, where you must carry a constantly-clanging shiny bell, the population sets to the task of preventing your escape back to the original starting area. ![]() It’s appropriate (and lazy) that your last challenge is a hair-raising sprint back through each of the communities you’ve conquered – yep, at this point, you’ve seen what limited content there is to see and then forced to see it again. Sneaking up behind an unsuspecting countryman, for example, and delivering a hefty “ honk” is always met with a satisfying gasp on their part. And, your mischievous deeds don’t get much more entertaining than those that aren’t dictated by a checklist. Watch goose carry around (well, anything) and goose fun you will have. But really, the only useful tools at your disposal are honk, duck, and grab. You can honk, run, swim (which happens simply by entering a body of water), duck (also, sneak), and extend your wings to present a most-menacing presence. Your goose has a limited move set, but I believe one of the things that Untitled Goose Game gets so right rests with the simple control of your goose. Untitled Goose Game is at its best when you remove challenge and mind from the equation, stroll around, and do your own thing. All-in-all, the game won’t challenge you for very long at any point. Some challenges are more obvious than others, but a select few do take a bit more understanding of your goose’s (and the game’s) limitations. How to complete these tasks is where the challenge lies, but don’t expect to struggle for too long. You’ll complete tasks in these areas that range from locking a nerdy kid in a phone booth to getting an old man’s shoes wet. This is why I’m actually thankful it was such a short experience.Īs goose, you’ll explore (or see all on-screen at once, due to some really small areas), a mere five zones connected by short roads and back-alley paths. The actual playing of Untitled Goose Game was much more the chore. But I believe that’s because her exposure was limited to the visuals, sounds, and outcomes. I felt that my wife, idly standing at the door behind me ever so often, found more consistent pleasure in the ridiculousness of controlling a goose, his listless honks, and the mischief he caused. But, once I understood the pattern of the game, my ever-present smirk that held true from the first boot through its early portions, quickly faded, and only returned at rare moments. If you embrace the ridiculousness of your achievements and put aside the reason you’re meant to be the literal worst goose of all time, you may find more silly joy in Untitled Goose Game than I did. And the hilarious (or meant to be) scenarios the game’s checklists force you into are hit-or-miss from an entertainment perspective. Basically, your goal as a goose is to fuck with people. ![]()
