Among Us, but just better
Goose Goose Duck is a hilarious game. It shares the same mechanics and playstyle of Among Us, but offers new playable characters, different maps and new tasks.

In the core, it is the same game as Among Us. You got a team of Geese, which are the good guys. They need to complete a series of tasks and chores on a map. Finish them all in time, and they win the match. But there is also an imposter or, in this case, a Duck. His job is sabotaging the tasks and progress of the Geese and killing them off one by one as stealthy and unsuspicious as possible.

When fellow Geese see a slain teammate or suspect someone of being an imposter, they can call for a meeting in which they can debate in speech or text who they think the imposter is or just evaluate recent events. After the timer is depleted, they can then cast a vote or skip voting. When a player received the most voted, his Goose ass is thrown out into limbo. Even when you or your teammates die, your ghost can still complete tasks, just like in Among Us.

The game play in Goose Goose Duck is just as fun, tactful and hilarious as Among Us but somehow even better. For me, the fact that you can now fart as a Goose, was reason alone for me to laugh my ass off, especially on a Friday night with some beers.

What makes Goose Goose Duck unique, are the many more classes you can choose from. You now got a Detective Goose that can hunt on the imposter Duck, a Dodo Bird that has the sole purpose of acting suspicious so people vote on him and many more. This offers variation to the game and creates new play styles and tactics.

In terms of graphics, they share the same principle as Among Us with 2D, cartoony artwork. It looks fine and the dumb and stupid expressions on the faces of the Geese finishes the look. The sound effects are also the same and are just as good, so are the controls and interface.

The matches are most fun when playing with friends or a larger group. Especially with a lot of people, the many new types of Geese work as intended. With smaller groups, they are not necessary or game breaking because you can quickly filter roles and determine that there is only one person left that must be the impostor Duck.

Because of the many new classes, the game can feel a little too chaotic and sometimes, people only focus on their “special skill” instead of the core of the game, which is to complete tasks and chores as fast as possible to win the match. This is, however, not always the case and most times, it is just good fun without many issues.

In the end, I think Goose Goose Duck is a great and hilarious game that is especially fun with big groups of friends.

Definitely recommend this one.
