What to play: ‘Untitled Goose Game’ gives us the rebel superhero we need — a goose

Many of us, especially those who came of age during an era of superhero blockbusters — from Tim Burton’s 1989 take on “Batman” to, well, this very second — have dreamed of being a savior. Press a button, and “spread your wings” we’re told in the opening moments of “Untitled Goose Game.” A brief moment of inspiration before the terror starts. “Untitled Goose Game” reminds me of a time I took a crack at writing a superhero narrative. And yet there’s evidence that I’ve been playing “Untitled Goose Game” all wrong. Therefore, I never didn’t read “Untitled Goose Game” as “Humans stink, geese rule.” So the next time you think about microwaving salmon in the company break room, or the next time you park on the line and decide not to realign your car, don’t be surprised if a goose comes honking into your backyard to steal your laundry.
