If this is all you’ve ever seen of the game, you’ve been missing out. The adventure begins with simple but fun experiments in constructing (more or less) structurally-sound bridges and towers out of roaming goo balls. More than a loose collection of free-form, physics-driven building puzzles, this game feels like a glimpse into a genuine world - one that’s bigger, stranger, and better-thought-out than we’ll likely ever know. The crucial point I had forgotten about World of Goo is just how much it earns that name. World of Goo (Wii, PC, Mac, iOS, Android, Nintendo Switch )
Despite first releasing in a far-different independent game scene back in 2008 - WiiWare feels like a lifetime ago! - it still has that special feeling today. With the latest port arriving on Nintendo Switch, I’ve been given all the reason I need to revisit World of Goo and potentially fall for it once more. It has long been filed away in my mind as a wonderful video game, but a few too many faded memories have rendered me unable to express specifics beyond that generalized warm and fuzzy sentiment. That’s the happy accident of a situation I found myself in with World of Goo, the near-universally well-liked puzzle game about plucking and plopping down living bits of gooey foundation. Wait long enough, and everything old can start to feel new again.
