Flapping is only relevant to maybe one objective, but others are frequently necessary either to steal or distract. Controls are simple: you can grab, honk, flap and run. Even the animations are endearing, particularly in the way the goose waddles, honks and flaps its wings (my favourite thing to do was piss someone off, extend my wings and honk to safety in a way that would make Zoidburg proud). Visually, the game really pops with its pretty, colourful art style. The game is clearly geared more towards an accessible, jump-in-and-cackle-at-some-schadenfreude kind of moments. Untitled Goose Game on the other hand is lighter on this, which is for better or worse depending on what you’re looking to get out of it. Whereas something like Hitman also gives the player a sandbox to play with objects and gives variable tasks to complete, it also allows the player to take their own approach to a situation. Once your objectives are done, it’s time to move on to a new area in the village until everyone is suitably pissed off and erects a comically large ‘no geese’ sign.Ī couple of small issues stem from this checklist approach: firstly, you begin to see the limitations in how to complete your tasks and secondly, the game ends up being quite short (around 2 hours). From here on, there’s no room for being a good egg.Īs the goose, your job is to cross off a laundry list of hijinks the game gives you, such as having a picnic by stealing the poor groundskeeper’s garden vegetables or chasing a terrified kid into a phone booth while honking like an absolute mad c***. Starting out, the goose wanders into a small European-looking village filled with innocent people just going about their day – the groundskeeper doing some gardening a shopkeeper maintaining her inventory a man casually sipping his tea while reading the paper. The premise is simple: give everyone a bad time. It speaks one of our darker desires: to be an absolute dick to everyone. When Untitled Goose Game was announced two years ago, the trailer went viral with its slapstick, cartoonish gameplay elements really standing out as something to take notice of.
