Reception

[edit]

Initial critical reviews were positive, with a top critic average on OpenCritic of 82/100.[8] Nintendo Life called the game "a fantastic sequel to a stone-cold classic".[11] Shacknews suggested that "for fans of the first game, of course, World of Goo 2 is a no-brainer".[12] GamingTrend had an issue with the humour in Chapter 4, stating "this series of levels has what I would call three distinct right wing dog whistles, with jokes that feel mean spirited involving drag, homophobia, and fat-phobia",[13] but otherwise offered a mostly positive review, stating that "while it's somewhat of a mixed bag, there's far more good than bad here".[13]
