A hilariously goofy game that is even better in co-op.
My first time playing this was when it originally came out on Switch. I played while my wife watched and we had a fun time together. We just revisited it and finally got around to trying the actual co-op mode and hot damn is that fun.
As fun was it was to play this alone, this game is truly specular with two geese. Running around causing chaos together, honking at people, distracting someone so the other goose can steal an object. 10/10 hijinks.
The said, while I think co-op is the best way to play this, the game itself was clearly designed as single player experience. Co-op kind of breaks some of the puzzles in good and bad ways. Strategy goes out the door when you've got another goose to bail you out of trouble making some puzzles trivial. But other times the extra goose can confuse the NPCs, make the camera wonky, or mess up timing.
Regardless of those little issues in co-op, I still love this game and had a blast revisiting it with my wife.
+ Hilarious hijinks
+ Fantastic co-op
+ Some good puzzles
- Stars to wear out its welcome by the end
- NPC behavior can be annoying
- Multiplayer breaks some puzzles
