Overrated
World of Goo is a game that has a major place in video game history, since it was one of the first successful games that started the indie movement. That said, I never understood why this game got so much praise in the first place. This puzzle game is based on creating constructions by attaching goo-like creatures together, resulting in wobbly seams, and fight gravity to reach the end of the level. As with many physics engines, it's never quite clear how your structure will react under certain conditions, as you frustratingly see your entire construction fall apart one piece away from completion. Having wobbly seams also adds to the frustration as a win or a loss can be entirely dependent on luck. There are also many types of goo having different properties. While this keeps the gameplay varied, it also makes selecting the correct goo a complete chore since they all overlap each other and move around constantly, and clicking on the wrong spot can cause a seam to break. There is some kind of story, but I personally find it quite depressing and nonsensical at times. The absurd humor and art style are crude and very much not my style. Even the audio, while good in itself, is too distracting and doesn't always match what happens on the screen. The game is also quite unstable. I've had it crash numerous times for no apparent reason. In particular, you can use your salvaged goos in a special mode to build the highest tower possible, but I've never been able to do so because of constant crashes. So basically, it would be an average game in my opinion if it wasn't for the technical issues. If you're looking for a fun puzzle game, I recommend to keep looking.
