Another early one asks you to get the gardener wet, which can be accomplished in a number of different ways that I won’t spoil (simply because there are relatively few objectives overall, so spelling this one out would give away a large percentage of them). While a task like “Rake in the Lake” lacks wiggle room for how you can go about crossing it off your list, many of the others thrive off of flexibility, improvisation, and creative problem solving. It’s hard to describe the strange pleasure Untitled Goose Game elicited as I let out triumphant victory honks while the gardener stood on the edge of the water shaking his head in frustration. Being an asshole goose is just a ton of fun, so even the silly simplicity of a task obscurely called “Rake in the Lake” was enough to send me into a honking fervor as I excitedly stole and dragged a poor old gardener’s rake into the dang lake. I loved just about every maniacal task I was given, all of which are as weird as they are clever. Who wrote this list? That much is unclear, but we know whoever did has a special kind of hatred in their heart. Slowly creeping up behind an unsuspecting sap who is holding an item you need or using strategically placed walkie-talkies to lure some mook away with HONKs never failed to make me laugh.Īnd this goose’s to-do list apparently consists entirely of being a total jerk to the people who live in its cute little town for reason beyond “because goose.” The foul deeds required of you can range from stealing food for a picnic to nabbing a gardener’s keys off his belt to untying a little boy’s shoelaces, scaring him until he runs away and trips, then quickly stealing his glasses and letting him blindly search the ground until you bring him the wrong pair back. It’s not an exaggeration to compare it to the likes of Hitman or Metal Gear Solid, just with goose-based shenanigans replacing all that icky murder. Even the biggest asshole of a goose has to be sneaky at times, hiding in bushes or in boxes as you wait for the right time to rush out and cause mayhem. Much of Untitled Goose game genuinely feels like a stealth game.

(Honestly, maybe that just means you are a regular goose.) You run around a lovely, minimalist English village honking, flapping your wings, and generally doing goose things as you clear off a hand-written checklist full of mischievous goose tasks.Ĭlick the looping video below to see even more gameplay: But not just any goose: you’re a goose who is also a total asshole. It’s a short game, but that time is packed with plenty of laughs and simple pleasures.Īs implied by the absence of a title, in Untitled Goose Game you play as a goose. Like many regular people, I often toss and turn in bed at night restlessly kept from sleep by the same persistent question: what if Hitman’s Agent 47 were a goose? Well, me and my fellow feather-inclined friends can finally rest easy, as the unrelentingly charming and wonderfully absurd Untitled Goose Game has finally brought our sleepless nights peace by showing us the answer - and that answer is a magical kind of fowl play that replaces murder with merciless annoyance.
