undoubtedly. it's also a good game. but there are tons of good games. the ol' goose game became a meme because it's funny, got hyped up in non-gamer circles more than just about any other game this side of fortnite or minecraft, and so people expect that it is a fantastic game. it's not, it's just a good game that lasts a few hours.

i enjoyed playing the main game but i have very little impulse to go back to do the additional content, especially because it doesn't open up any new areas. i've gone back into the game a few times just to mess around though.
in addition to the memeability i think it also shows a widespread desire for more games that are simple and have you doing something outside of the standard game goals/mechanics/however you want to define it. i think beyond the meme stuff, the goal being to wreak havok and frustrate normal people was also different enough to be a big hook. if it was the same goose and same art design but you had to hop on a bunch of platforms or push boxes around to solve a puzzle it wouldn't be as appealing.

It's a better toy than it is a game (*).
If you go in thinking "right what are my OBJECTIVES, how do I ACHIEVE them" then it's slight, and pretty clunky, and probably disappointing, yep.
If you go in (or even better send a kid in) thinking "I'm a naughty goose! I'm scaring the boy! I'm stealing the sandwich! I'm breaking the fence! Honk!" then it's great.
(*) Which is probably true for a lot of videogames these days really. See also 90% of everything that's been released for PSVR, for example. Or, you know, Minecraft.

i played like fifteen minutes of it and it was nice enough but it's much more fun as a meme. it got baconed more or less on contact tho'.

desire for more games that are simple and have you doing something outside of the standard game goals/mechanics/however you want to define it.
and yes, this too. as much fun as it is to check in on the incremental improvements in version 34414 of a dozen different franchises, there's something to be said about something that is relatively unique and fresh (even while UGG's mechanics have many antecedents)
― Peaceful Warrior I Poser (Karl Malone), Friday, 15 November 2019 16:39 (four years ago) link
The mechanics partly remind me of ancient ZX Spectrum classic "Skool Daze" and yeah I would like more games like that, or better still more Walking Sim + Shenanigans games

Got this for PS4 and it's the first game I can play with my wife since, idk, Inside? We had a good ol' time setting up the goose picnic although it took us like an hour, lol.

Just checking in on this thread as I finally got it and finished it and... what's up with people knocking this as a game? I thought it was pitched really well, just tough enough to keep it interesting but simple enough that I never got too frustrated. I could have done a couple more levels but I think for the price there was a reasonable amount, and being short it kept up the fun of being an impish goose all the way through.

Agree 100%, I had a great ol time

I played only the first couple levels of this but then roasted a goose for Christmas dinner and then had a very terrifying nightmare afterward about the last few levels of this

Q: When? Where? How much?The two-player update will be available for free to all owners of Untitled Goose Game on September 23rd, on all platforms.
Q: Can we play through the whole game with two players?Yes! You can play the game from start to finish as two geese. Your saved progress can be played with either one or two geese, so if you’ve started a game in single player, you can get a friend to join in and help you out (and vice versa, if you and your friend do such a bad job cooperating that you have a falling out and you need to go back to single player).
Q: Can I play with a friend online?This update is local-multiplayer-only, which traditionally means that you’ll need to be in the same room as someone to be a goose with them. On some platforms, you may be able to play over the internet using streaming. For example, Steam’s Remote Play Together, or PlayStation 4’s Share Play. We’ve tried this ourselves and can confirm it works quite well!
Q: Are there other updates with new areas coming soon?We don’t have any plans to do this at the moment. We consider the world of the goose game to be “complete”, and to us, adding new sections would feel like stapling on bits to something that’s already a whole. We’re very proud of the game as it exists, and for this update we wanted to put all our effort into making that game enjoyable for two players.
Q: Can one goose drag the other goose around in a box?Of course.
― Fuck the NRA (ulysses), Tuesday, 18 August 2020 16:51 (three years ago) link
Of course.
So will, say, the farmer chase one goose and not the other? I assume both geese have to be onscreen at the same time.
― Josh in Chicago, Tuesday, 18 August 2020 17:15 (three years ago) link
no reason to assume that, there are local co-op games (ie Divinity: Original Sin) that can go split screen when the players far off away from each other, and then shift back to full screen when both players are close to each other.

Great, I never finished the last stage (using the method where I'm controlling the goose and my wife is yelling at the goose for doing the wrong thing), now I will make her also be the goose.
― change display name (Jordan), Tuesday, 18 August 2020 18:24 (three years ago) link
i also have some work to do (spoilers: i haven't even started the bonus checklists you get after beating the game), so i'm hoping my partner will help me out
