Tough to say because, of course, everyone's different. Some of the puzzles can be tough! But here's one Twitter player's piping hot take:
(Edit: oh, and the 25% off sale price will last two weeks. $14.99.)

3-4 hours for the type of game it is sounds about right. Will probably day 1, launch discount is too nice to pass.
Funny story about launch discounts, I know it's a total marketing move... but they work. Case in point, I didn't get Puzzle Quest because it has no discount. Theres no difference between getting it now or getting it when I would actually play it so I didn't.
Here's the kicker tho... between Zelda and now Goose and whatever else (DQ11 next week and Ori...), I bet a few weeks will pass and then I'll move to "well now I might aswell wait for a sale" mode, and if the game had even just 10% discount, I probably would have gotten it.
Like I said it's all marketing tricks but they totally work /shrug

I thought the game was out today, but I went to the EShop (UK) and it's not out. UK usually gets games unlocked at 12am, so not sure what's going on.
It's been out here in New Zealand for a few hours now. We usually get the games at the same time as europeans do.
i've just downloaded it here in the UK. a goose is currently being squeezed in to my nintendo switch. honk.
The fuuuck! OK cool, I'll try it from the console itself, I was using the website which is usually up to date.
Thanks!
It's showing on my physical device in the UK - just not on the Nintendo website. £13.49 launch price.
edit: ah, beaten.
Now those are a couple of blasts from the past.
I would love a remake of Jack the Nipper.
The best thing about all these indie games is that it's now viable again to make a game with a concept that ridiculous.
Wow ha, that's a very good parallel. Was watching a Kim Justice video recently where she mentioned those, which had me struggling to think of a modern equivalent.
Perhaps not a style often done as it's difficult to put a structure to, still it seems like they've done that well here :)
I was pretty disappointed that I couldn't use the rake to flip the sun hat onto the groundskeeper's head with him walking on the rakey bit :(
Kept you honkin', huh?
Huh. Price changed in the night perhaps? Checked late last night and it was listed at £18 after it just went up on the eshop. I'll have to check again later as £13 ain't quite as steep
It has a 2-week long launch discount that only kicked in when it was released.
Ahhh wondered how that happened. I figured maybe the discount was pre orders only. Well, hopefully theres plenty of glowing endorsements for it in here today! I'd kind of like an excuse to get it even if I really shouldn't right now lol. The idea of being a dick of a goose is very tempting
So any initial impresss on the game, seen as reviews aren't out for a while yet? I want to get it, but I'd rather know if it's remotely decent first!
First impression after an hour of play; on a technical level it seems fine. Granted, I don't have that much of an eagleeye, but the performance seems good.
Game looks great too. What I really like is the use of music. Everytime the Goose starts to approach someone, music starts, as in anticipation of what the Goose will do. Especially when you do something dickish the music turns into a tune thats comparable to the music you'd hear in British slapstick bits.
Gameplay is stealth-like. Sure you can honk all the day long, but that will attract attention. You have a list of things that need to be crossed off. So the idea is to complete these to advance. So that means nicking stuff while people aren't looking or bait people into following you, leaving other items behind so you can take those, or just annoy people.
For example, the second checklist;
Involves chasing a boy into a telephone booth, which crosses one item of your list. If you keep scaring him, he will call the elektronics store and the owner comes out.
This gives you the chance to run into the store, flick the switch and get your face on the tv, another item on your to do list.
There is another mean one, but I'll let you find it out by yourself.

This game wants you to be the biggest asshole possible. And its hilarious.
i finished the whole game in like ~5 hours. hilarious from start to finish, really charming and packed with personality. i LOVE the goose, something about the way it walks and honks just screams "i am a bastard".
i wish it was 10x longer because i liked it so much but i feel satisfied paying 20AUD for it.

Played a couple hours - had much fun screwing around and making people mad.
Managed to go to the 3rd area and complete all the goals so far.
I'm watching my boyfriend play the beginning and he managed to find some other way to achieve some goals.
The game is super crisp on Tv and seems fluid (to my eyes) but i'm no digital foundry.
The game will probably test some impatient gamers as there is a bit of trial and error to the puzzles and you have to be attentive to the Npc's routines. Love it so far - very original funny and unique. Also I like the simplicity of the interface design.
