GamersMark: "Original downloadable titles, on consoles at least, tend to carry a stigma with them. They're sometimes seen as games that are too risky for publishers take a chance on at retail, or other times as simple time wasters for the soccer mom and mouth-breathing casual crowd. World of Goo is the newest example of a growing contingency of downloadables that hardcore gamers should sit down and take a long look at – there's a lot to love about this one.
Anyone familiar with toothpick bridge-building from their grade school days should feel right at home with the game's core concept. The objective of each level is to get a certain amount of goo balls to a pipe. Doing so requires you to build bridges and other structures with the goo balls found in the level. Early levels have you building upward – a fine way to train players on the basic mechanics of the gameplay. If you're building a tower and you don't have the proper support , say if the tower is narrow and you have excessive weight on the right side, you can expect it to topple or collapse in a fairly realistic fashion, or at least as realistic as building things out of goo balls can be."
Gather the Goo Balls and travel the globe in World of Goo Remastered from developer 2D Boy and Netflix Games.

Yesterday, after all these years, I played World of Goo; it's still amazing! It's a great indie that must be played at least once. - Cristian Aguilar
