    Untitled Goose Game is the most charmingly misanthropic game that has ever been created - and that's something I didn't even think was possible.

    At the end of the day – the long hard day of being a naughty little goose – Untitled Goose Game is something truly unique and special. It’s a beautifully clean and simple puzzle game which will have you howling with delight, both when you play it through for the first time, and when you pass the controller to your partner saying, “You absolutely need to play this game where you're a naughty little goose…”

    Those who play this goose game will enjoy it very much, disturbing the poor characters that inhabit a peaceful Anglo-Saxon style town. The only negative point that this game has is that it will leave us wanting more fun.

    Untitled Goose Game boasts more inventiveness, creativity and charm than the vast majority of titles on the Switch eShop, and offers a believable game world that's a real pleasure to explore, investigate and – of course – cause merry havoc in. Superb physics, excellent controls, surprisingly robust AI and unique presentation all combine to make this a real highlight in the Switch's library – it's only the brevity of the experience that lets it down, but this really is a case of quality over quantity.

    Untitled Goose Game is a short and sweet village sandbox of chaos, with probably the most laughs you’ll have in a videogame this year. Goose tier.

    Untitled Goose Game is a game about being a bully, but an adorable one. As a pesky goose, you honk, waddle, and drive human beings nuts—I assume as real-life geese do. The occasional frustrating task barely holds back Untitled Goose Game when it's at its best: where you're setting up elaborate (or not) situations to annoy people and ruin their day.

    Untitled Goose Game is a delightful experimentation which delivers laugh after laugh, ruining the daily life of poor humans. Unfortunately, the fun stops way too quick after a very few streets corners, leaving the player thinking what this clever but unfinished business might have been.

It is the pinnacle of video games as we know them, the Citizen Kane of interactive entertainment. Everything that was wrong with Breath Of The Wild, this game gets right. The musical arrangement is cartoonish, yet genius in its simplicity, and of a virtuosity to make Chopin hide in shame. The graphics feel like a Bob Ross painting brought to life, with charme and atmosphere to touch you where you have never been touched. The story in its subtlety transcends your imagination and unfolds its beautiful wings like a freshly hatched butterfly. Leave your problems at the door. And welcome. Welcome to the story of your lifetime!… Expand

This is a game that can be enjoyed by all ages. It's funny, it's silly, it's fun, it has lovely reactive music. My only criticism would be with the length of the game relative to its price tag. I loved the short self-contained story and the final todo list item was very funny, so I wouldn't necessarily want to see the game dragged out. But perhaps the game needs second and third chapters in different settings? Regardless, I loved the few hours I spent playing this game. Having got it on a physical cartridge I can lend it to my wife so that she too can enjoy it, and I will undoubtedly return to it in the future for more goosey hilarity.… Expand

    A Wild Goose Chase
    Untitled Goose is a Goose Simulator Puzzle game where you play as a goose, being a goose…
    Your objective of the game is to simply cause mayhem.
    As a a goose you can grab thungs, run, peck, and honk.
    And with these abilities you set out to complete a to do list.
    Untitled Goose’s initial campaign took my about 2 hours to clear, though after you do complete it you are given new tasks to complete across the 5 levels you just beat if you wish…
    And this game is just ridiculous…
    Stealing sandwiches, making neighbors fight, pulling chairs out from under old men..
    Its so dumb but that’s what makes untitled goose so great…
    Its almost like a hitman style puzzle game where youre setting up to scratch off a goal until the areas final goal pops up for you to complete and move on…
    My only gripe with this game is how repetitive it is…
    Untitled Goose ends right when Im getting tired of it…
    The tasks at the end of the day are essentially the same in every level… the tasks are all different… but the goal is always the same, figure out a way to distract this person just long enough to grab the thing you need and try not to get it stolen back or swatted away.. all that really changes is the challenge of each level.. theres a new hurdle each time…
    The game does lose its charm so im happy with its length..
    I don’t know if I could’ve taken another hr of this game..
    But again the fun is just in the silliness of being a goose.
    I give Untitled Goose

    You're a goose. You're a jerk. You have things to check off your be-a-jerk list. So, get to it. You have to poke around a wee bit with eachYou're a goose. You're a jerk. You have things to check off your be-a-jerk list. So, get to it. You have to poke around a wee bit with each new level to figure out what you have to work with to complete your checklist, but then for the most part it's clear what you have to do, and it's just a bit of try, try again to get it done. Very nice music.

    The huge appeal of this game is that you're a goose and you're a jerk, and it's funny. Everything is well done, and the game runs smoothly; there was only one time I hit a glitchy spot where characters were stuck and I had to move deliberately to get them unstuck.

    Goose fans will probably hate me for saying this, but this game reminded me a lot of Pan-Pan. It's better than Pan-Pan, but it's similarly small, similar in the repeated-small-puzzles playing style, and there's even a sort of similarity in the animation style.

    This would be fun to play with others kibbitzing, including with kids. (Probably just a few spots might be too tedious for younger kids to complete on their own, and there's just a few places where you have to get the timing just right that might also be too annoying for younger kids.)

    There are several more post-game checklist challenges if you want to spend more time in this world (including basically 'do it faster'), and I'll probably work on those in spare moments here and there. Aside from this, I don't see myself playing this game again in the future (including the playing through fast challenges), though it would still be fun to watch others play. Playing through again just doesn't seem to be in the cards for me because a lot of the puzzling involves a form of learning how the world works, and the game unfolds too linearly for a new game to hold anything interesting.

    It's cute, it's clever, it's well done... but it should be more like 10 bucks.    … Expand
