I can't believe my favorite childhood game is getting a sequel 15 years later

World of Goo.

The annual The Game Awards event that rolls around every December is always where some of the most exciting new games get announced by their developers, and this year's show was no exception. Between Arkane Lyon's bombshell reveal of Marvel's Blade, the unveiling of a new adventure game called Light No Fire from No Man's Sky developer Hello Games, a shadow drop of the destruction-heavy multiplayer FPS The Finals, and tons of other big-name announcements, the presentation gave gamers plenty of titles to get hyped about and look forward to.

What had me nearly falling out of my chair as I was live blogging the show, though, was the surprise reveal of World of Goo 2.
