We're not talking Hitman levels of possibilities here, but the game certainly encourages experimentation. While some of these objectives have clear pathways to success, there are some which can be tackled in more than one way, sometimes using items found elsewhere in the game. Elsewhere, you must trick someone into breaking their neighbour's prized vase or force an individual to pay for an object they rightfully own.

Now we finally have the finished product in our hands, it's everything we hoped it would be. Quite the opposite, in fact – it quickly became one of our most eagerly-awaited Switch titles for 2019. Thanks to its unique visual style, whimsical setting and instantly relatable protagonist, House House's sophomore title captured the hearts and minds of all that saw it, and subsequent hands-on sessions over the past few months have done little to reduce the level of hype.

For a game that sees you controlling waterfowl and doesn't feature any robots, guns or tortured subplots, it's incredible how much attention Untitled Goose Game has garnered since it was revealed way back in October 2017.
