#Untitled goose game review Pc#

It's a concept so pure, so universal, that developer House House didn't even have to bother coming up with a name for its game. Indeed, it makes an entire game out of it, because here you are the goose, terrorising a small village that gently unlocks as you progress through the short adventure.

The PC version of the game was played for this review.Untitled Goose Game knows that geese are dicks, and makes a virtue of it. This review of Untitled Goose Game is based on a copy provided by the publisher. Release Date: 20th September (PC, Mac, Switch) Untitled Goose Game is refreshingly original, and its penchant for nuisance taps into a vein of mischief that has never been approached with this kind of elegance. Its offbeat concept and gameplay vocabulary also make it an adventure that will be remembered for a long time. ItвЂ™s a short game, but I thought that with the thinking and experimentation that goes into its puzzle-solving, Untitled Goose Game is just about as long as it needs to be. Why yes, when I was harassing an English village, the perfect musical accompaniment to my devilry had to be a piano.Д¬reating a game about a mischievous goose is one thing, but the sophistication House House exhibits has elevated Untitled Goose Game into a distinct work of art.

The style is worth a special mention, as House House has effectively used minimalistic visuals and music to create a particularly elegant atmosphere. I found the controls a little fiddly as well, which often seemed to get in the way of my tactical mischief, but the unique hook and well-realised style of the game are more than enough to make me forget those nitpicks. Figuring out how the townsfolk will react to your actions, and what you need to do to get them to react in the first place, varies between being intuitive and obtuse. These object puzzles arenвЂ™t terribly hard, although they do require a mind for comedy and mischief. The goals are all comically naughty, such as getting a young boy to wear the wrong pair of glasses, or cause someone to smash a vase, or-yes-make an old man fall on his bum. Your goals are laid out to you on a to-do list, which gives you a hint of what you need to achieve.

Over the gameвЂ™s short runtime, you use these fine skills to steal objects and elicit reactions from the townsfolk. You can also honk, flare your wings, and walk fast (but not that fast). Untitled Goose Game is built entirely around the concept of picking up things with your beak and carrying them around.

The gooseвЂ™s mission is to ruin everyoneвЂ™s day, but best of all, it cannot be killed or forced into a game over. HereвЂ™s a protagonist who must be stealthy like a Metal Gear hero, but also clever like a point-and-click adventure character. Video games routinely celebrate being a nuisance, but IвЂ™ve never really seen the appeal of it until I played as the goose. As the man put his stool back in place, he looked at me with his eyeless little head, and I, the goose, stared him down with an audacity beyond compare. My favourite moment in Untitled Goose Game came right after I failed to make an old man fall on his bum. Honk, honk honk honk? HereвЂ™s what we think.
