*/World of Goo is a fun game and one which oozes more Goo-like charisma
than a Botox injection gone wrong. Playing with the Goo can be
frustrating at times, but the game has plenty of temporary distractions
built in and just a little persistence and cleverness is more than
enough to overcome the most complex of obstacles. Like Lemmings, the
challenge doesn’t lay so much in finding the right way to solve the
level, but in actually realizing your plan.World of Goo World of Goo - 2

2D Boy also wins bonus points for its gutsy approach to DRM (i.e. there
isn’t any). You buy the game, you get sent a download link and then
there’s no limit on how many times you can download or install the game.
It’s a route which leaves the tiny developer open to rampant piracy, but
honest and good PC gamers should definitely consider the merits of that
method.

Unfortunately, the game itself is fairly short-lived and a focused gamer
could probably burn through the entire thing in just a few hours. That’s
fair considering the price, but we would have loved to see a bit more of
what 2D Boy has to offer.

It’s a shame, because World of Goo is a great game while it lasts – it’s
just that there’s nothing here to really draw you back for a second
play. All the game would of needed is a rudimentary level editor or
sandbox mode to ensure long-lasting appeal.

With those features lacking though, World of Goo has to be judged as
what it is; a very accessible, quirky and fun puzzle game which falls
down on replayability but redeems itself on sheer cuteness. It’s a great
game, but just don’t expect it to hold your attention for very long./
