I whoo, you whoo, all of us whoo for World Of Goo. Following the recent update that introduced a “gentle remastering” making it play good on trendy techniques, 2D Boy’s modern-day basic puzzler is now free for keepsies on the Epic Games Store for those who seize it throughout the subsequent fortnight. That’s not a pun. While I consider World Of Goo as a kind of games everybody will need to have performed by now, given how nice it’s and the way usually it’s been mega-cheap, however… it’s ten years previous so I many received’t have performed it. Hey, youse, it’s actual good and it’s free proper now.
World Of Goo is a puzzle ’em up about constructing bouncy constructions from goo, sticky stands connecting to one another as you construct up and alongside and beneath and. It will get pleasant but difficult once you’re juggling several types of goo balls which construct in numerous methods. As our former John (RPS in peace) wrote in our World Of Goo review means again in 2018, it’s a game that retains stunning.
“The most obvious of these elaborating factors is the art. It is, just beyond belief, beautiful. The cute, fuzzy design is reminiscent of something halfway between Tim Burton and Tim Schafer. Its 2D appearance is deceptive, with multiple layers moving independently to create an organic world that ebbs and swells like a tide. And like so much with the game, if you’ve seen the first chapter, you haven’t seen a quarter of what it’s going to do with its art design. There’s an internal logic to these developments, the game structured around a year of passing time, cycling through four seasons, and four technological ages.”
We went on declare it one of many best puzzle games, one of many best-nonviolent games… it’s good.
Grab World Of Goo from the Epic Games Store by May 16th and it’ll be in your Epic account endlessly. You’ll have to get it via the Epic Games Launcher, obvs.
Epic’s regular stream of freebies is to tempt folks onto their retailer, in addition to tamp down frustration with Epic shopping for up exclusives.
