Sometimes, you just want to be a goose. The Untitled Goose Game provides that fantasy in spades, complete with the honking and aggressive nature of geese.
This game is a welcome way to cut loose as you’ll intrude into the lives of a small town and terrorize everyone in sight. I had a lot of fun playing the Untitled Goose Game. If you’re looking for a low-commitment game to fill an afternoon, look no further than this.
To-Do Lists in Untitled Goose Game
The Untitled Goose Game is one-part goose simulator and one-part puzzle solver. As a goose, you are able to be a little menace. You’ll waddle around town, going from ponds to gardens to streets. In each new location, you have a list of tasks that you can complete. In many instances, completing the right tasks opens up new locations to torment.
Each task in Untitled Goose Game keeps the game going and feeling fresh. The items on your to-do list all feel like something that a mischievous goose would devise. These tasks each give different challenges and keep you progressing through the game.
The tasks in Untitled Goose Game are genuinely charming and fill the game with fun moments. In the first area of the game, you’ll be asked to set up a picnic. This entails getting a variety of items on a blanket, including some weird ones… like a pumpkin. In the next area you’ll be tasked with having a child wear the wrong glasses and getting on TV at a local shop. One area even has you usurping another goose statue to get a blue ribbon.
Honk Honk Honk
The best part of the Untitled Goose Game is… well, being a Goose. The controls in the game perfectly capture the unwieldy feeling of waddling around in a goose’s body. The tasks perfectly get you into a goose-like mindset, and to top it all off, you can honk at absolutely everything.
The honk mechanic is perfect for this game. It’s pretty well known that in the real world, geese are gleefully mean. At the click of a button, you can harness this power by honking. You can honk to harass, annoy, and distract the humans who are keeping you from having your perfect day. The ability to honk perfectly puts you into the driver’s seat as a goose.
In the Untitled Goose Game, you are perfectly and wonderfully drawn into the life of the goose, allowing you to escape your life for a little while. As a goose, you can honk aggressively at anything bothering you, enact your goosey justice, and take what you want. In the end, it’s all just harmless fun and a day in the life of a goose.
The Untitled Goose Game was released in 2020 and saw a good bit of internet popularity. It’s not hard to see why. In a time filled with stress and worry, this game was, and still is, a great way to get away from it all and be a goose.
Live Your Best Life in Untitled Goose Game
If you’re looking for a low-stakes, fun game to fill an afternoon and escape your worries, this is the game for you. This game perfectly understood the assignment of letting the player be a goose and created a fun, engaging game you can pick up and put down at any time.
