Short Version: The game is good and if you don't care about the cost or the past, just buy it and ignore the rest of this review. No really, I'm just going to rant about things most people won't care about and then give it a positive review anyway… --- Longer Review: In 2008 the original World of Goo released and perfected an under served genre of physics puzzle games with style, simplicity and challenge in a way rarely seen in gaming. I played it for years after its first release and then bought it again years later and gave it a positive review on Steam as well: [url=https://steamcommunity.com/id/kunovega/recommended/22000?snr=1_5_9__402]Click here to read it. I could go on for some time about what a great game that is, and blah blah blah… so of course here I am at least mildly interested in a sequel. But as I sit here and play (I'm about half an hour in as I type this and having watched a bit of other people playing) it's just really sinking in that I'm playing the same game again. I'm at nearly 20% of the game completed in less than 30 minutes and I have yet to play a new or original level. These are nearly copy & paste experiences. They are so identical that I can breeze through even the challenges, because I've done them before (and put the time in to perfect them). A new player might not feel disappointed by this, but as a returning player I'm asking myself why this game even exists, and that shouldn't be happening for a sequel to a game I would have put on a list of games you "must play in your lifetime" It's been the better part of two decades since the original game, why does the sequel feel like a casually created copy & paste of the first one? I'll tell you point blank if you've never played the original, go play that first: https://store.steampowered.com/app/22000/World_of_Goo/ It's a terrific $15 game that's been on sale for as cheap as $1. I'm not sure how I can justify World of Goo 2 being worth its $30 asking price. I'm not even going to try, I'm just going to tell you flat out that no matter how good this game is, it's flat out not worth $30. If you respect your money, wait for a sale. As an owner of the first game we were given a chance to buy this at $20 and I can force myself to call that an OK price. (And just to note: the game costs $10 on Google Play Store for the mobile edition…) In a better world this sequel would not exist on its own; what little new content it contains could have been created as a $10 expansion to the original and it would have fit right in. I don't even want to complain; because functionally it's a good game. It has to be, it's a copy of a great game with a few new levels. It's just… why is so much of it a copy? What is it doing that's new to even justify it as a sequel? If you booted up any level from this next to the original, you wouldn't even know they were different games. Maybe I'm being pedantic here, but even the tech level is the same, there's no resolution options, etc. It feels like it was built straight out of 2008 in the same exact format and engine. I could keep ranting, but I don't want to. The game play is great, the puzzles are fun, the story is the same mild background noise that doesn't get in the way, it's a pleasant potential few hours of physics puzzle solving. It's just… a really over priced expansion to a game from 2008 being sold with the label of sequel when it does nothing to justify being called a sequel. It's a little bit more content for double the price with a 2 on the end. And that's the world we live in, and we're the product and this is the meta and we're all just consumers who never learn… so here's your positive review. Congratulations, you managed to make me feel almost neutral about a game I wanted to praise. --- Existential Crisis Moment: Am I supposed to laugh or cry over this? I just kind of feel numb. There's no hate here, just apathy towards an industry that has created such glorious experiences as World of Goo only to follow up decades later with a copy and paste expansion that's been labeled as a sequel with a price that reflects the inflation of a world gone mad. I just want to sit here and swear at my screen for a while. I could have replayed World of Goo, I already owned it. Experiences like this are why I find myself at the gym more often these days and playing less games. Lifting weights may be the same experience over and over again but at least there's some value in staying healthy and gaining strength. I play games for fun and to experience new things, not to play the same thing I did 20 years ago at double the price. Why am I still ranting… I'm going to go touch grass now… well, not really, I'm allergic and I don't feel like actually touching grass. I am however going to go lift heavy things in a clean sterile environment and pretend the repetitions mean something. That's enough internet for today… --- Bottom line: This game didn't need to exist, but I'm still sort of glad it does… --- [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/38232109/]While you are here, would you consider following my curator page?

This brings me back to a better time. Where the only thing that mattered to me is how much I could get out of the World of Goo demo on the wii when my dad first hooked it up to the internet. This gives me challenge and it gives me peace. I'm so glad to finally be able to play this long-awaited sequel to a beloved game from my childhood.

I remember my Mom tirelessly waited in lines to get me a Nintendo Wii and one of the final games I got on it was World of Goo. I got about halfway through the game before I found out my cousin sold my Wii for substances LOL Wholesome moment seeing World of Goo 2 on my Steam store! Cant wait to play this later with my mom :)

I'm just happy, what else can I say? World of Goo 2 on Steam... I remember playing [url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/22000/World_of_Goo/]World of Goo Demo on the Wii when I was a child. It became my favourite childhood game. Throughout the years, I came back to this game many times. I played it on the Wii, on PC and even mobile. It was the first game on which I installed mods to change some random stuff and add or create more levels, it was fun. I never forgot about the original. I even tried the devs' other games, and to this day I still love and sometimes play [url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/221260/Little_Inferno/]Little Inferno as well. Then, 15 years later, a sequel got announced, which blew my mind. I felt more hype for this game than I even feel for [url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/1671210/DELTARUNE/]Deltarune or [url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/1030300/Hollow_Knight_Silksong/]Silksong now. And man, it is good, World of Goo 2 is amazing, it's everything I could've wanted. This is how you do nostalgia bait properly, by making fun of it. On top of a good game with fun puzzles, you add some meta narrative about sequels and a bunch of more stuff. I love it so much... And the music is basically as good as the original (which probably is my favourite OST from any game as well). A bunch of the tracks are remixes, yeah, but they add on to the original music, it's awesome. The references are great, the story is as weird as the first game, and the new gameplay mechanics are fun too. I wouldn't say this game is better than the original, but it lives up to it. And yes, I know, this game came out on EGS first, and I don't like that either. They helped funding the game, so it makes some sense, I guess? I'm glad the game got funded, so in the end, I'm thankful for it, I just didn't like how it wasn't on Steam before. But at least there are DRM-free versions out there too. The price is also a bit too steep for a 2D indie game, I'll admit, but I couldn't stop myself from getting it right away. And it's worth if you love these games as much as I do... But hey, here we are, on Steam. The game is here and it's still amazing! And it got updates with some achievements and new levels too. I'm just so happy to be here right now. Thank you for making the sequel to the best game of my childhood <3 - Zepy

Having an extra discount for owners of the original game (30%!) is really nice, and almost makes me forgive them for being epic exclusive for a year :P Regardless, I'm only just starting chapter 2 and I'm enjoying it just as much as I enjoyed the first game all those years ago. Seeing that 2D BOY logo again was extremely nostalgic, and the art and music are pristine.
