Untitled Goose Game was much anticipated in our home and was purchased within minutes of being available on the Nintendo Switch e-shop. My daughter finished it first, taking around three hours to complete the game's main "story". My son and I completed the main game in about 2.5 hours, but admittedly had her help if we ever got stuck. Once the primary set of puzzles are complete the game's additional challenges (some of which are much more difficult/annoying) unlock. We're working our way through those now and while some are definitely nothing more than doing the same task again with a different object, a few are genuinely rewarding once you have that "Aha!" moment and figure out the solution. The uniqueness of waddling around as a goose, stealing things and honking at innocent bystanders makes playing in this beautifully drawn world pure joy, one that will have you smiling and laughing non-stop. It's adaptive Debussy score is the perfect backdrop and makes frustrating sections a lot more relaxing than they might be with more energetic music. There's no doubt this is a super short experience, but it's one of those special ones worth every penny you pay to participate in it.
