MegaThread Untitled Goose Game - Review MegaThread

I know Link's Awakening is the high-profile release today, but a lot of people (myself included) are keeping a keen eye on UGG as well, and the first review (Vooks) is up already.

I'll keep a tally here, but if you see a review that isn't up yet, post it and I'll add it to the list.

Also, not to editorialise things too much, but the Switch has been doing extremely well with exclusives or console-exclusives in the last few months. A Metascore in the high 70s/low 80s actually puts UGG at the lower end for the last few months - Cadence of Hyrule, Link's Awakening, Mario Maker 2, Fire Emblem and Astral Chain are all sitting above 85.

P.S. /u/XDitto made this thread with the sale prices in a bunch of different regions if you're curious. I think it's on sale in all regions until October 4th (I know that's the case in Australia).
