Untitled Goose Game is addictive, hilarious and slightly nihilistic. A great Switch (and PC) game.

Though this is one bird that requires more meat on its bones, the meagre length of Untitled Goose Game isn't enough to greatly detract from the impish comedy and free-roaming sandbox shenanigans that define it as one of the most enjoyable games of the year.

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.

Every puzzle feels just smart enough that it won’t be solved by your first guess. Even better, each puzzle usually results in something that’ll put a sinister grin on your face.

Untitled Goose Game does not deserve to be played because of its being "game", but for the coherence of the authors in imagining, creating and pursuing an objective, which however simple and banal shows with strength a vision and a determined will.

Untitled Goose Game has a very simple premise, but the execution of that idea is excellent. Being a goose is more fun than it should be, and I had a smile on my face throughout the entirety of the game's relatively brief two-hour runtime. The fetch quests can get a bit repetitive and the camera doesn't cooperate on occasion, but these are small blemishes on an otherwise brilliant game. Incredibly charming and funny, this is an indie game you shouldn't skip out on.

Untitled Goose Game is a body-swapping fantasy that transforms any would-be suburban miscreant into a waddling force of mischief and destruction. Instead of putting your finger in everyone's freshly baked pie, you menace around town and devastate an ordinary Saturday afternoon. Untitled Goose Game is philosophical exercise to determine if the conniving will of a large annoying bird is either innate programming from a bored deity or a product of our broken society.

Untitled Goose Game definitely has a few issues, not unlike our feather-brained hero, but you'll likely be having too much of a good time to notice.

I don't know what Untitled Goose Game is, maybe a stealth game, maybe a joke, but it's wierd, evil and fun.

It is a short and sweet romp through what might as well be Mister Rogers' Neighborhood, with the fun flair of causing chaos wherever you go. I appreciate that there are bonus tasks to accomplish, and replaying is encouraged due to some bonus tasks being time sensitive, meaning not everything may be completed on an initial run. All in all, Untitled Goose Game is a cute, short experience that is hurdled with some camera issues, but makes up for in it's charm.

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 simple, easy and fast, bringing unimaginable fun. A goose that aims to pester people? I thought it was great! I didn't expect this style of game after all the repercussions on the internet. I consider it one more game in the "we need to value the indies even more" series.

Almost everything that's wrong with Untitled Goose Game – and to be fair, there isn't that much – is inherently wrong with the stealth genre in general, and a silly game about a goose wrecking someone's flower beds was never likely to change that. But what it does do, over and above other stealth games, is combine charming visuals and glorious audio with such a ridiculous and unique premise, it's impossible not to honk through this one with a massive smile on your face.

Untitled Goose Game lives up to the charm and entertainment value that many were expecting from it. The sandbox style gameplay is a joy to play around with and the inclusion of stealth along with the well-crafted physics work only to further benefit the game. The To-do list task are all equally hilarious because they feel authentic and are genuinely satisfying to complete (the feeling of crossing items off a list never gets old). Some may find the game to be a bit short on content and if you’re not a fan of game’s that center around “goofing off” then Untitled Goose Game may not be for you. I recommend checking the game out for anyone that’s on the fence because you may be missing out on one of the most unique experiences of 2019.

Untitled Goose Game achieves, to my mind, what every good computer game should. It has been made with love and care, and it is witty, whimsical, and most importantly…fun. It’s the sort of game that is bound to bring a smile to your face, whether you’re a kid who is playing his first goose-related game or a handsome 32-year-old would-be ornithologist. You can keep your AAA game industry – I’m all about the GGG game industry now and, even if you think this review is just quackery [that’s not even a goose pun – Ed.], I urge you to try out Untitled Goose Game all the same. I’ve ended up in quite a flap about it. I mean, I get goose pimples just talking about it – it’s time to honk if you’re… [you’re fired – Ed.]. I award Untitled Goose Game a Thumb Culture Gold Award!

I’m always delighted by segments of video games that allow me to control an animal, and even more glad to relax and laugh while playing games in my spare time. Rarely do these two all-too-rare genres cross in gaming, but when they do, and with enough clever direction and a pleasing original soundtrack, you get the beautiful gem that is Untitled Goose Game. Purchasing this game on sale would make for a perfect diversion to relax and waste a few hours of clean, simple fun, enjoyable by gamers (and non-gamers) of nearly any age.
