Pros
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.
Pro Compelling story
The story in OneShot along with other game mechanics make you wonder just what is going on and makes you want to play more of the game.
Pro Heartbreaking
The feels in OneShot are amazing. More towards the ending(s) rather than anywhere else. The game presents you with a very hard decision and it's up to you to figure out which one is best.
Pro Great 4th wall breaking
The thing that makes OneShot so unique is the 4th wall breaking. Some pretty incredible stuff is done with this mechanic.
Cons
Con No co-op mode
The PC version does not include the co-op mode that was included in the Wii Ware version.
Con Lack of depth until Solstice Chapter
The Solstice Chapter or the true ending of the game is the only time when the story and characters become memorable and interesting. The first half of the game is a bit bland in those aspects.
