World of Goo

Top Pro

Beautiful visual style

World of Goo is pleasing to look at. Most of the time it's very colorful and joyful, but it changes from time to time to reflect different parts of the world. Nevertheless, it is stylistically well presented throughout the game. See More

The PC version does not include the co-op mode that was included in the Wii Ware version. See More

Top Pro

Great variety in puzzles

A lot of attention has been put into creating interesting levels with great pacing and variety throughout the game. See More

A twisted tale

As you start playing there doesn't seem to be much of a story. A few philosophical messages left behind by the Sign Painter and a cut-scene here or there. But as you progress through the game you unearth different details about a slightly disturbing world. See More

Top Pro

Excellent physics engine

Physics in-game take into account gravity, wind, weight of different goo-balls, structural integrity of your architectural solutions to create an addictive, "let me try this one more time"-type of gameplay. See More

Undertale

Top Pro

Art could be better

Incredible soundtrack

Just like the simple but pleasant graphics in the game, the music matches this with a lo-fi score that is very fitting. See More

Top Pro

Amazing characters

The characters in the game are written well, each with their own personality. One may be too nice, and will lower their hit points when you attack, just to not offend you.

Top Pro

Full of interesting easter eggs

There are many secret mechanics to be discovered in the game. It may take a couple of playthroughs to discover them all, but when found it will make for a mind bending discovery. How the game appears is not how the game is actually being played. See More

Top Pro

True choices

Choices have lasting consequences. See More

Tons of puzzles

Lots and lots of puzzles, and multiple ways to finish the game. Comprised of mainly block moving puzzles to progress room to room in the games dungeons. While there are a few other puzzles throughout the game, mainly block moving is what the player will be doing. See More

Puzzles can feel repetative

While there are a lot of puzzles to solve in the game, there are only three objects that are used to solve them and after a while it can feel repetitive due to how limited the puzzle solving can be. See More

Familiar Zelda feel

With some puns and jokes aimed at the original game. Like "ew are you eating that heart?" See More
