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. It doesn’t last long either you can always break the farmer out of his philosophical musings with a good loud honk. 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. The goose is terrible, and that’s exactly what makes him delightful.įrom the moment that goose pops his head out of a bush at the start of a game, you know that he’s all about trouble. Best of all, you play as a goose, who is a bit of an arsehole. Every second of it offers up the driest of dry humour which, coupled with airy soundtrack and charmingly personable visuals, is the mark of a confident, clever development team.

It gives players a toybox, and then encourages them to mess it up in whatever wildly creative way they can dream up.

Untitled Goose Game is the perfect game in its simplicity.
