I’m playing the sequel to the Unfinished Swan...Untitled Goose.
It’s on Game Pass and you’ll be thanking your lucky stars that you didn’t get swept up in the internet buzz and paid actual money because, well, it’s pretty bloody dull. It’s cute, I’ll give it that, and there’s some funny moments but, man alive, it ain’t much of a game.
I was dead excited to see this out on PS4 so I bought it and downloaded it and then jumped straight on to play (much to Lady T's visible, but unspoken, annoyance). I ended up farting around for about an hour and a half.
I'm kind of in the middle here, I agree with some of Sat's sentiments but maybe not to the same extent. I did get a big caught up in the buzz and after a bit of playing it's obvious that the highlights reel style of video clips used do - shock, horror, but we fall for it, we always fall for it - make it look far more exciting/dramatic/funny than it really is. There's a lot of wandering about just pissing about.... almost unfocussed.... and yet after a while it sunk in a bit more and became fun just to keep ringing the bell and upsetting the man even after that objective had been fulfilled.
I think Sat's right, it's maybe not much of a game and don't expect a laugh a minute, but when I think of it more as a toy, or a 'griefing simulator' to fiddle about with, it's still quite neat and after typing all this drivel I'm quite keen to go and play it for a bit tonight.
