All time classic! I played it in 2009 - 2010 as a kid, and it is still not outdated after about 15 years. You can just imagine how ground-breaking it was back in the time. The puzzle game also blends physics/civil engineering into its mechanism. And the storyline! It already talked about the intelligence tech, spirit of digitals, and consumerism back in 2008! Again, It is a pioneer that never gets old, cannot really believe just 2 people made it. The soundtrack is also classic, the visuals are smooth. Puzzle are well designed with good mechanism and appropriate level of difficulty. After finishing them, you can also think about the society of goo - ywhere do they go, and how will they be in the future - Looking forward to World of Goo 2!!

Love the silly plot, and even moreso the physics of the game. Levels are not excessively long to complete, making the game absolutely ideal for those moments when you need a mental break but can't be lots of time.

A legend in indie game history, World of Goo is a physics-based puzzle game about getting as many goo balls as possible into a pipe by constructing all sorts of structures (e.g. bridge) using these balls. Incredibly sophisticated physics allowing endless possibilities to solve the puzzles; Imaginative levels with optional OCD challenge often requiring mastery of the mechanics and out-of-the-box thinking; beautiful animation now remastered with high-resolution; wonderful audio design and sensational soundtracks; strange lore and world-building imbued with dark humour… This is a title to behold and pay tribute to. Even if you are not into physics/puzzle games (I am not, and I have no intention to finish the game), you should have it and see what merely two indie developers can achieve, in 2008!
