Pros
Pro Engaging gameplay
You are a character, born of house Forrester, and banner-men to Rob Stark. The story takes places after the Red Wedding, and you need to make decisions which will affect how your house manages to survive during the Game of Thrones. Your responses (or lack thereof) will be noted, and depending on how you respond you can create different allies and enemies each play-through.
Pro Great variety in puzzles
A lot of attention has been put into creating interesting levels with great pacing and variety throughout the game.
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.
Pro 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.
Pro Good, funny music
Each level has good and very funny music.
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.
Cons
Con Very basic combat
This is mostly a dialogue game - it's the decisions you make that matter much more than the (limited) combat. Combat controls are shown on screen, and all you need to do is replicate the action shown on the display. There is no free thinking, or strategy whatsoever required.
Con Expensive
While each episode can be replayed multiple times to find different character paths, they are fairly short. Costing around $5 each, the prices quickly add up.
Con No co-op mode
The PC version does not include the co-op mode that was included in the Wii Ware version.
