Piawk is a monochromatic, simplistic-looking bird-based platform adventure. That someone is Bossa Studios, the team behind I am Bread and Surgeon Simulator, which seems like a great fit. Someone’s actually working on that last one. More goose, but in a different setting, perhaps? Or maybe other birds being jerks, like seagulls or pigeons?Īh. After the inevitable cries of “Put the goose in Smash!” (no, don’t do that, I don’t want to see the goose harmed) thoughts turn to a sequel. When a game like Untitled Goose Game captures public imagination, people undoubtedly start thinking about what comes next. (Though we’re not sure when it will see the light of day.) Pigeon Simulator Sometimes this nonsense just writes itself, and Pekken was born. Get this tweet to 10k RTs and we will make Pekken after Observation drops. Accompanying those words was a short video of PS1-era, polygonal pigeons pecking at one another in mortal combat. “Get this tweet to 10k RTs and we will make Pekken,” wrote Jon McKellan of NoCode, the studio behind narrative adventures Stories Untold and Observation. Pekken was borne of one of those ill-advised Twitter bets. The biggest complaint in our review was that there wasn’t more of the world to enjoy, but if you find the experience calming, against the din of modern life? This is one you’ll keep coming back to. A meditative, zen-like experience, you’ll soar around gorgeous environments, nibbling away at a peaceful, chillout activity in short bursts. If the goose game is all about being a loud, obnoxious jerk, then Feather is about as far in the opposite direction as you can get. ![]() You’ll train, fight, and bond with your bird over the course of Falcon Age (but you’ll probably have the most fun doing the optional stuff, like teaching it tricks and dressing it up in little hats). Like Untitled Goose Game, Falcon Age is another very successful bird-based video game released in 2019.Īvailable in both VR and non-VR flavours, Falcon Age sees the player engaged in falconry in an adventure game setting. A Short Hike is genuinely one of the best games of 2019. Adam Robinson-Yu’s short adventure centres on a young bird who goes out on a hike to the top of a mountain, to try and forget her worries for a day, but you might just find yourself forgetting your own.Ī Short Hike is just as cute and as the goose, but unlike the untitled goose, focuses on self-care and positive actions, and is guaranteed to put a smile on your face for different reasons. ![]() Untitled Goose Game may shine a spotlight on bad bird behaviour, but A Short Hike is a very different sort of avian experience. If you need more digital birds in your life, here’s where you need to look. Untitled Goose Game isn’t the only game in town when it comes to bird-based video game entertainment, however. (Including Chrissy Teigen and Blink-182, among others.) In what has become a perfect storm of marketing, expectation, and actually delivering on the promise of the premise, the goose has sold bucket loads, stormed Twitter, become a superset of almost every other meme you can think of, and even picked up a few celebrity fans. It’s a mixture of charming presentation and stealth sandbox fun that deserves all the praise it is receiving.Īnd it is receiving much. The world has, rightly, been losing its mind over Untitled Goose Game. (And obviously the one you definitely have.) Are you thinking about bird-based video games, for some reason? Here are some you may not have heard of.
