    World of Goo is a game with an excellent concept, held back from greatness by its limited scope and inaccurate control schemes. More levels, a proper ultimate goal, or even a good control scheme could've boosted this game out of middle-of-the-road territory - but as it stands, that's right where it sits.

This game really uses the Joy Con functionality well so if you like the joy cons you'll be using the joy cons for this a lot. I mean this game has won awards aswell so it's clearly one of the best indie games.

    World of Goo is known to be one of the finest offerings that WiiWare offers, and is featured on many Best Of lists, but how does it still hold up with a fresh release on the Switch? Turns out pretty great.

    A few control options are available to choose from in World of Goo. You can use a Joy-Con to point and click just like a Wii Remote, and even play cooperatively with a buddy. You can use this method playing in docked mode or tabletop mode. I personally like playing it on my lovely HD TV.

    World of Goo is a physics-based puzzler about building towers and bridges out of gelatinous critters, Little Inferno is an avant garde affair about a child ordering goods only to burn them in a fireplace in order to stay warm, and Human Resource Machine is puzzle game about programming and productivity in an uncaring corporate machine.

    Overall, World of Goo is a fun puzzle game and a great addition to the Switch eShop, great multiplayer and gameplay you'll enjoy.as I said if you love puzzle games then this a game you can't miss out on.
