The best Puzzle game in years!
World of Goo is an innovative and charming Puzzle game, where almost every single level is exhilarating.
The controls may be simple but are also tight and responsive enough, and the physics-based gameplay is far from shallow. Although sometimes it's not easy to select the goo ball you want. The only significant control improvement I think the game needed, particularly when you want to build a tall and/or large structure, was the possibility to move the camera with the keyboard arrows.
To beat all the story levels will take you around 5-7 hours, double the time it takes to beat Portal, and also has more replay value overall. There is also a bonus level, where you can try to build the tallest tower of goo in the world, which alone will consume you many hours. All of this for the same price of 20$.
The audio-visual presentation is very well done, particularly the sound design, with great art design, good color choices and a fantastic combination of cute sound effects and an epic flavored pop/jazz soundtrack, which will stay in your head long after you stop playing it.
If you like Puzzle games or are looking for games that are different from anything on the market, than World of Goo is must buy. One of the best and most addictive 2D games ever made.
