It’s repetitive, but it’s at its best here. That’s because, brilliantly farcical ideas aside, Untitled Goose Game is a pretty primitive puzzle game: You’re finding and moving objects, setting straightforward traps and getting from A to B. When things slow down, however, and you need to cross that last thing off your objective list, is where things start to fall apart a little. In full flow, revelling in the chaos, honking, and laughing at just how ridiculous everything is, you’ll be living your best goose life. Had it not been for the genuine warmth this game exudes, it may have been easier to spot its flaws. It’s that heart that carries the game from start to finish. Untitled Goose Game has a delightful, almost childlike, wholesome quality that just sticks with you. Just thinking about the ridiculous mischief I got up to, wreaking havoc and honking to my heart's content in that quaint, all too British, toy box town sends a smile shooting across my face. If House House could bottle the kind of unbridled joy that’s at the core of Untitled Goose Game they’d never have to worry about money again.
