  • gameplay

    13 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    31% positive mentions, 46% neutral mentions, 23% negative mentions

    The gameplay receives mixed feedback, with praise for its fast-paced, fun mechanics, smooth movement, and satisfying combat reminiscent of Ultrakill, but criticism centers on poor optimization, janky weapon switching, and a need for more polish. While some find it inventive and highly entertaining, others feel it is boring, flawed, or stale. Overall, the core gameplay shows potential but requires refinement for a smoother experience.

    • “The gameplay is fast and fun, and it reminds me a lot of "ultrakill", which I really like.”
    • “The mechanics are simple and easy enough to understand, the movement system is good, and the music is iconic.”
    • “Clearly, this game has some kind of potential (I just liked the parry, it's awesome, also the designs of weapons and variants are interesting too; can we have some kind of shooting range so people can check variants properly and not just in the gameplay?).”
    • “Burt, I think the actual issue is the jankiness when switching weapons, which I feel is supposed to be an integral part of gameplay.”
    • “The game may be free, thankfully, but it's incredibly boring, the gameplay is riddled with flaws, the art direction is awful, the sound effects are catastrophic—in short, nothing works.”
    • “Ok, so this game is inspired by Ultrakill but tries to expand upon it (in its own way). Its story is okay, but the mechanics are janky.”

  • graphics

    9 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    44% positive mentions, 23% neutral mentions, 33% negative mentions

    The graphics are widely praised for their unique, fun, and vibrant art style, featuring a striking blend of gritty textures and cartoonish exaggeration that enhances the gameplay experience. Some users report technical issues like lag and crashes, but overall, the visuals are considered stunning and integral to the game's charm.

    • “The art style is very fun and the colors specifically are something I particularly like.”
    • “I really like the aesthetics of the environment.”
    • “The visuals deliver a stunning blend of gritty metal textures and cartoonish exaggeration that turns every frame into something worthy of a museum wall.”
    • “Every game deserves proper graphics settings. I hope a future update will include them. On first start, the game didn't open in fullscreen and crashed when I clicked it. No problems after that except it's kind of laggy (my laptop isn't great, I swear).”
    • “For some reason on the first start the game didn't open in fullscreen and crashed after I clicked it. No problems after that except it's kinda laggy (my laptop isn't great).”
    • “It's kind of laggy, which affects the graphics experience, but it could be due to my laptop's performance.”

  • optimization

    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    40% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 60% negative mentions

    The game currently suffers from poor optimization, causing frequent lag spikes and frame drops that hinder smooth gameplay. While some users experience performance issues and bugs, others attribute these problems to their own hardware. Developers are encouraged to improve optimization for a more stable experience in the future.

    • “There are a few performance issues and bugs which are hard to ignore but do not take away from the gaming experience at all.”
    • “I wrote this review to remind myself to come back to this game in a few months or years to check it out after it's been optimized, and to also let the creator know what needs to be improved on in the future.”
    • “The game is unfortunately terribly optimized, resulting in constant lag spikes and frame drops to the point of it not really being playable past the tutorial since boomer shooters rely on that steady 60fps smooth gameplay.”
    • “I wrote this review to remind myself to come back to this game in a few months or years to check it out after it's been optimized, and to also let the creator know what needs to be improved in the future.”
    • “Only gripe is it needs some gameplay polish and optimization.”

  • music

    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    75% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 25% negative mentions

    The music in the game is widely praised for its iconic, energetic, and personality-rich soundtrack that elevates combat and encounters into cinematic experiences. Some users suggest the combat music could be toned down or altered when out of combat to better fit the gameplay flow. Overall, the soundtrack significantly enhances the game's unique and dynamic atmosphere.

    • “The mechanics are simple and easy enough to understand, the movement system is good, and the music is iconic.”
    • “For a 15-year-old's first game, the music is quite great.”
    • “The soundtrack surges with such energy and personality that it elevates every encounter into a cinematic event, making Metal Goose not just a standout early-access title but a genuine cultural milestone.”
    • “Combat music should cut out, lower down, or change to something less hectic when out of combat.”

  • stability

    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 100% negative mentions

    The game suffers from notable stability issues, including frequent bugs, occasional freezes, and audio problems, which can disrupt the gameplay experience.
