20 Most Anticipated Video Games Of 2024
8. World of Goo 2
Platforms: TBA
In the absence of any official World of Goo 2 screenshots, let's analyse each quote from the above advert for the original to remind ourselves why the announcement of a World of Goo sequel is such joyous news.
"Ingenious": It certainly was! World of Goo's central conceit - of mashing its squishy, gooey characters together to form the various structures necessary to complete each level - was utterly brilliant. The developers got a huge amount of mileage from the concept, introducing a range of different goo types with different physical properties and powers, and the physics engine allowed for some truly mind-bending solutions.
"Brilliant": Brilliant concept, brilliant level design, brilliant sense of humour. World of Goo was a terrifically funny game, and a quick visit to World of Goo 2's website shows the developers have lost none of their sense of humour. (Their response to being asked what platforms the sequel will be on: "Let's just let the vast expanse of uncertainty fill our hearts with wonder, while we fill our bank accounts with exclusive distribution contracts.")
"It made me a more complete person": If the minds behind the heart-warming Child's Play charity say so, fair enough!
