    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.

    First time playing a game like this, very unique and entertaining, even though you have to think hard enough to solve the puzzle, the ending so creative

    One of the most enjoyable games I've played in a while. 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.

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

    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.

    When I saw the trailer for Untitled Goose Game, I scoffed. I was expecting a gimmicky disappointment. Boy, was I wrong. I don't think I'll forget this spiteful goose and its charming little world anytime soon.

    Somehow, Untitled Goose Game makes me think of the earliest videogames, when everything was new and funny and surprising. It's one of those rare things: a comedy game that actually makes you laugh, although in a very understated, very English way. (I understand that this game was developed in Australia, but it's one of the most English games I've ever experienced).

    Mandatory warning: Untitled Goose Game is extremely short. You'll complete it in an afternoon, and then probably be done with it. If you want a longer experience, you can probably add a few hours by tackling all the additional "missions" that open up at the end. Me, I didn't want to spoil the freshness by turning it into a frustrating tour de force. It's been a great three hours, and I want to remember it like this. The very last image made me laugh out loud, and that's a perfect conclusion to this charming experience.    … Expand

    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

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.

    An amazing indie game that lived up to the hype. A simple concept that provides a very enjoyable experience. Never thought I'd have so much fun on a game where I annoy the neighborhood as a goose. The controls in the game are simple and the music is somewhat fitting.

    I don’t think I have ever had this much fun screwing around with people in a video game. The idea of playing as a goose and destroying people’s property, or making their lives miserable is just a grand idea and really was executed well. My GOTY for now

Not only is it is highly likely to linger in your mind as one of the most amusing titles you’ve ever played, but gameplay is also a blast to watch as a bystander. This deceptively complicated, low stress puzzle game hatches from a simple concept: You’re a gleefully mischevious goose who’s life’s mission seems to be to drive the residents of a small town completely bonkers.

    Untitled Goose Game has a fantastic sense of humor immediately evident from the start of the game. You will receive a check list of cheeky to-do items to finish in each area of the town you explore, such as “rake in the lake”, “go shopping”, “make the old man fall on his bum”. You’ll accomplish these tasks through clever manipulation of both the objects and the humans in the various environments.

    For instance, in the above image the goose sneakily pulled the stool out from under the old man when he went to sit, one of the simpler tasks. I thought about sharing more complex examples, but the game is fairly short and I had such a great time figuring out all the puzzles that I don’t want to ruin them for readers even a little.    … Expand

It’s basically a puzzle game. My sister came over and helped me figure out some of the puzzles and we had such a good time. Some of them were a bit hard to figure out, but when we finally did it was very satisfying. Others weren’t as hard to figure out, but they were hard to actually pull off in practice. And I won’t spoil anything but the end of the game was cute and kind of surprised me. The game is pretty short, we beat it in one sitting. But more tasks unlock after you beat it so if you’re a completionist there is even more game time for you.… Expand

There were puzzles I wasn’t getting just because I assumed that games don’t behave that way, but my girlfriend could think of these bizarre creative solutions because she was looking at it like how a real world scenario would behave. And it always worked! And the MUSIC oh my god. It’s the smartest game music I’ve ever encountered, hands down. It’s the equivalent of a live piano player at a silent film - just dynamically improvising along with whatever’s happening on screen. It works so well and it just makes the comedy work so well too.

Actually, just a few hours is the game's only downfall as it can be completed in about 3 hours in fact.

    However, don't let the length of the game deter you, Untitled Goose Game is worth the price of admission, particularly at its current early-bird sale price. The slick mechanics, minimalist piano—which is absolutely perfect by the way—makes it all well worth the unique experience.

The game started as a joke and was quickly spread around the internet with its funny premise and silly looking gameplay about stealing from the humans as a naughty goose, but would this concept hold up in actual game form. It turns out, yes, house house games completely nailed the actual game side of the game. Let’s start with the visuals and feel, right from the start you can tell that this game is charming, looks great, and that the way the Goose moves, sounds, and picks things up is perfection and this perfectly complements the awesome and silly gameplay. You’re a Goose and you have a to do list in your Goose pockets (do gooses have pockets?) almost everything on this list involves messing with humans in creative ways, I don’t even want to give an example because it would take away from the absolutely wonderful experience that you will have if you go in with no guide or prior knowledge. Sadly I would’ve been able to give an example, if the game wasn’t so short, the entire main game took me about 3 hours with 5 main areas to travel through, although this is a major downside don’t let it drive you away from this game because what’s here is pure perfection. Also although I haven’t been able to play it yet the post game seems to be quite massive adding three or four pages to your to do list. Finally the music tops this game off in a beautiful way, it’s all made by one guy and it perfectly captures the silly stealth that this game has to offer. The main piano is brilliant and it makes you feel like you are screwing over these lovely villages even more. In conclusion, this game is a must buy if you have patience, 15 dollars, and a fun loving attitude.… Expand

    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.
