Aug 5, 2024World of Goo 2 is a lot of fun - precisely because it is "easy to learn and hard to master". With every puzzle solved and every stable construction, you learn something new - and gradually develop problem-solving skills that are extremely helpful as the game progresses. Of course, every now and then you come to a bottleneck where it seems you can't go any further, but here too, persistent trial and error helps. If you get really stuck, you can skip the level in question - only the final levels of each game section have to be solved in any case. Various liquids, new types of balls and multi-stage puzzles make World of Goo 2 a must-play for puzzle fans.

Aug 5, 2024World of Goo 2 picks up right where the original game left off, offering more levels and entertaining conundrums to construct your way out of. It's no longer the unique physics puzzler that it once was, but the mechanics have proven to be timeless.

Jun 4, 2025World of Goo 2 takes the best elements of the legendary original and enriches them with a heap of fantastic new ideas. The sheer number of unique puzzles built around the seemingly simple concept of constructing physics-based structures from quirky goo balls is breathtaking, consistently pushing players to think outside the box and discover creative solutions. It's still a refreshingly inventive puzzle game—but at least on PC, it suffers from very problematic controls that can lead to considerable frustration.

Sep 4, 2024Despite a bit of self-plagiarism and some laziness on the part of the developers, World of Goo 2 tries to earn the title of a full-fledged sequel and… almost succeeds, because the goo is still as entertaining as it was years ago. I look forward to future new installments. Because there will be new installments, right? Right?!

May 27, 2025World of Goo 2 as whole, I guess, could be classified as a broken success. I struggled with it, both because of my own ineptitude, but more crucially because of its quite serious design flaws. It doesn’t deserve to be hated, or ignored, but I don’t want to play it anymore. I’m goo-d, thanks.
