![]() The reality is that this stealth stuff doesn’t really work all that well. There’s also the occasional moment where you’ll need to compel someone to move to a certain spot (so you can do something horrible to them to ruin their day). Most of the objectives involve getting the “loot” and making off with it without a person noticing it and chasing the goose down to get it back (people are faster than the goose). Other than picking things up and depositing them in the most inconvenient locations possible for their owners, Untitled Goose Game is, nominally, a stealth game, complete with requisite parody of Metal Gear Solid. Goose can’t talk – obviously – but he has as much personality as we see in the grandest RPGs, precisely because of the eye for detail in how he moves and interacts with the people whose days he’s ruining. The tiniest, most precise animations are what makes it work. It’s so subtle that it doesn’t sound funny to read described, but in action, it’s laugh-out-loud stuff to watch the goose go about his “work”. Watching the pile of stuff accumulate messily on the blanket, when the goose clearly has no interest in having an actual picnic, is that dry humour I mentioned earlier. This means stealing sandwiches, jam, carrots, radios, and the like, and depositing them on a picnic blanket. ![]() ![]() The objectives have great fun with that too – the main “task” in the first area, for example, is to collect a “picnic” together. These objectives all involve – you guessed it – the goose being an arsehole. Untitled Goose Game has objectives, in theory. At the same time, the actual game is going to last much, much longer, because you’ll forget those objectives and nonsense like making “progress” every time you come across a shiny new thing to terrorise the locals with. This is mature work from the development team – a comedian that repeats their jokes over and over and over again ceases to be funny and quickly become irritating, and the team at House House knew that they were better served finishing with a standing ovation. Goose’s adventure is also refreshingly brief – if you focus on the objectives themselves in order to “beat” the game, you’ll be looking at about an hour in total. By “tiny” I really do mean exceptionally small – you can traverse the sum of each area in a few moments – but each is also so filled with things to do (and trouble to cause), that it’s the right kind of “open” Untitled Goose Game is determined that you don’t have a dull moment while you’re playing it, and I’d be very surprised if you do. Each of the five “areas” works like a tiny open world of things to do and play with. A feeling of obligation to make Untitled Goose Game a “game” probably drove the team to it, but really, the devs clearly want you to simply get in there and see what chaos you can create. There’s no mandate to finish those tasks at any pace, and for the most part I get the sense that the developers didn’t really want objectives at all. You’ll be stealing everything from carrots to radios, balls to keys, and while this does, very rarely, break the game (when I successfully stole the farmer’s keys after he’d left the farm, closing the door to lock him out, he just stood at the waist-high fence, looking sadly at the land he apparently thought he could no longer access), you’ll still do it anyway, because when the AI does go a little wonky it’s all the more hilarious. Seconds later you’re dunking some poor sap’s sandwich in a lake, and honking at a farmer, purely because that’s the arsehole thing to do. There’s something so viciously mischievous about his cute little face.
