    I love this game. it is so funny just pick up and play it through. Only bad thing is that is too short, just 2-4 hours.

    +this game has very enjoyable multiplayer

    A pleasant indie experience brought together by a simplistic and colorful artstyle, fun and chaotic gameplay, and a number of cute, clever puzzles that often have hilarious outcomes. The premise of playing as a goose who wreaks havoc on local townspeople and city-goers is amusing, and definitely delivers, despite some hiccups with hitboxes and some annoying characters with odd habits.

Definitely a great try for anyone.… Expand

    One of the most unexpected games, pairing the chaotic instincts of a goose with stealth mechanics and puzzles. It may be short, but it is perfectly paced. Filled with humour and wonderful art, this will remain a classic.

    Great emergent sandbox fun. Get goofy as a stealthy and cunning goose.

    Beautiful art, wonderful sound design

    Fun to pass the controller as everyone trades ideas on what to do.

    Untitled Goose Game is the best video game of all time! It's fun, it's funny, it's creative. It's got everything you'd want from a game that involves playing a goose. However, once the game is fully complete, there won't be much left to play the game for meaning that it might get boring for players who just want to complete games instead of repeating yourself time after time.

    I had much fun breaking the game with my brother as second player. Coop mode really is the true game, you can drive the NPCs insane this way. Also I got one million dollars for putting the rake in the lake.

    Loved it. Beautiful, calming, charming. The puzzle solving can be frustrating at times, but the feeling of overcoming wacky controls and annoying villagers is more than enough to make up for it. I just wish I got to see more of the world and meet more people to honk at. 10/10

    If there's anything to complain about this game, it's its short duration and a bug I encountered relatively early on. Otherwise it's been a pleasant discovery.    … Expand

    Playing as an annoying goose is an ingenious idea. The puzzles are fairly entertaining and it looks and sounds great, but boy, was it short. Makes you question the value for money equation.

    A really great game, which gets even more fun in local coop. I had an awesome time with my stepkid with this one.

    The challenges are fun and interesting, the music is excellent and fits the quirky theme perfectly, loved the art design, the gameplay is awkward in a cute way, and it doesn’t last too long (there’s only so much time a game like this could hold one’s attention, after all).

    My only complaint is the price. For $20, there is not enough game—but you really don’t want a game like this to be much longer, so what should come down is the MSRP. If it were a mite cheaper, this would be a perfect 10 in my book.    … Expand

    Diferente a todo lo que se ve por estos días, muy entretenido, con dosis de humor y acción, dentro de las posibilidades de un ganso. La campaña es extremadamente corta, si bien busca re-jugabilidad repitiendo escenarios con nuevos objetivos, no parece una buena forma de alargar horas de juego. Lo terminé en un par de horas y quedé con ganas de más. Muy recomendado

    This game was really fun and finding out puzzles and getting them crossed off was rewarding. I do think that there should’ve been some sort of hint system when stuck for too long. There was 1 or 2 in the pub I couldn’t figure out and I despise going to google or YouTube. Not saying handholding but after not completing anything for a while maybe an extremely small extra hint

    Brilliant little game. This game is really unique and from the premise didn't sound half as fun as it is. The game itself is quite short, but it's a really fun time and I feel like it would get tiresome were they to have drawn it out more.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is the best game I’ve ever played. Absolutely my favorite game of all times. It is relaxing, fun, cute, funny, easy and it isn’t super long. Plus once you’re done (before you ring the bell) you can just go and explore the little English town. I love messing with the gardener and terrorizing the small boy. I also love putting everything I can find into the pond. The music is fantastic, I purchased the theme on iTunes along with the goose honk text tone. You can get this done in a few hours but I took my time so it took me a few weeks (I don’t play games on a daily basis). If you love geese, small English towns settings, relaxing music and **** **** up like I do, this is your game.… Expand

There's a few new tasks to do after the credits, including repeating the game again on a timer, but even without that it's certainly a unique experience that after you put it down for a while would still be fun to come back to.

    When it boils down to it the game is essentially a puzzle game, having you figure out how to get up to no good and get things off your To-Do list. Music is intertwined with the game play and your actions will be mirrored with the lovely piano sound track that helps set the mood. Controls are easy to understand and comfortably introduced for anyone lucky enough to start the game.

    It's a creative experience and it gives you a satisfying ending. The novelty of the mechanics last about as long as the game, If the game was any longer I believe it would have negatively impacted the journey. So in that sense, it's just right. A neat little package that is welcoming to anyone who picks up the controller.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. If you plan on getting this game, I’d say you should get the switch version. Why? The switch version simply has better controls. It really helps to be able to move in any direction in this game, rather than a keyboard and mouse. Sure, you could connect a controller to the PC, but I’d still say the switch is a better idea because of portability. Other than that, gameplay is fun. Every function has a purpose. The puzzles make up most of the progression in this game, but you’re free to explore past areas and find your own fun after you’ve completed it. The game is a completely connected world, so no level screen here. Once you’ve beaten the game, raeppa sksat wen fo hcnub a (SPOILERS, so read it backwards if you don’t care), emag eht taeb uoy retfa tnetnoc wen ytnelp sereht os (this too).

    The elements of this game all work together wonderfully to charm and amuse you through its 3-or-so hours. From the vibrant art design to the charming characterisation, this British town is ready to hate this goose with a passion. This game just holds so much in every inch of its world and the way it comes together makes it so hard to not completely fall in love.

    Untitled Goose Game is a gem that hits all the right marks. There's some real appeal in using an otherwise innocuous animal sowing chaos in a sleepy village, and it helps that the results aren't violent at all. The game's short length keeps the experience from wearing thin, but there's enough here to keep you busy. With a pleasant presentation, Untitled Goose Game is a title where you'll both cherish the initial experience and enjoy showing it off to friends to see their reactions.
