You may have tripped that kid back in town, but did he fall in the puddle? Try again. Eventually, you can unlock gates that will allow you to circle back to all the areas of the contiguous map so you can tackle those lists of hidden challenges. Once you have completed the objectives on your list a scripted event will take place that allows you into the next area.
Every item has a place and you can use that to your advantage for messing with the humans. Cloud bubbles with item icons will appear above their heads indicating their next task or perhaps an observation of something missing or out of place. The AI for the humans is fairly predictable as they go about their daily lives creating unique yet repetitious patterns for you to figure out and insert yourself into to complete your objectives in each area before moving on. The run button will boost your speed but never enough to outrun most humans in the game unless you have a good head start, and your ability to turn sharply is negated while running. You also have a sneak button that lowers your neck and has you skimming the ground, sneaking under and behind objects or hiding in bushes waiting to strike. Early on you are asked to get the gardener to change hats, which means you have to steal the one he’s already wearing, which means you’ll need to get him on his hands and knees in an area where you can sneak up and snatch his hat and then run away before he can grab it back.Ĭontrols are excellent with dedicated buttons for honking and flapping your wings which, when used together, can be quite intimidating especially to young boys with poor vision.
#UNTITLED GOOSE GAME REVIEW TRIAL#
Even the more obvious activities will still take some trial and error to figure out the proper sequence of events and the timing. There is some pretty random stuff to do in this game that you would never think to do in a million years like opening an umbrella indoors. Some objectives are simple while others take a bit more thought and planning and others are totally secret objectives that are left to accidental discovery or researching a strategy guide online. Each area offers a new list of activities specific to that location as well as a collectible quest, like gathering picnic supplies in the first level or doing a bit of shoplifting in the second. At any given time you can bring up your To Do list of objectives and collectibles, and those goals will be checked off as they are completed. The game kicks off with a HONK as your goose emerges from the bushes and proceeds down the path to the park complete with lake, bench, and a picnic lunch in need of assembling. This review will be impossible to write without at least one or two examples of gameplay, which will undoubtedly turn into minor spoilers, so be warned. For whatever reason, you seem to hate humans and have prepared a meticulous list (fantastic penmanship by the way) of mischievous goose activities to screw with the entire village, one section of town at a time. It’s a lovely day in the village and you are a horrible goose. Untitled Goose Game gets props for not only one of the more creatively named games of 2019 but also one with the most creative gameplay mixing, action, adventure, puzzles, and even a bit of stealth to create a Looney Toons version of a Hitman game…without the death.
