I totally missed any marketing or hype surrounding the Untitled Goose Game. I simply stumbled across it today while logged into the Epic Store to claim 6 free Batman games. There was a video at the top of the landing page with that catchy title and it instantly chimed with me. I’ve had several run-ins with the Canada Geese at my local park over the years and so I’m somewhat familiar with their penchant for assholery and general douchebaggery. So a game about a troublesome Goose is not a big ask. The quirky animation style and colour palette really caught my eye, so I read the marketing blurb and then bought the game blind on a whim. So much for “advertising doesn’t work on me”, although I believe there’s more to my impulse purchase than meet’s the eye. But my respective psychiatric state is not what is being scrutinised here. The key question is whether the game is any good? Well, in short, the answer is a resounding “yes”. Allow me to elucidate.
