    My rating is for the creators of the flappy goat. An unnecessary degree of difficulty for such a childish game. I don't recommend this game to anyone

    Why is this present in the game?

    Playing goat simulator is like watching a washed up comedian laugh at their own jokes.

    Utterly stupid, worthless game with no objective or actions longer than a few minutes. Do not buy under any circumstances.

    Worst game ever made, hands down. I didn't even know a game this bad was possible. Goat Simulator will keep you entertained for around five minutes at most.

I didn't even know a game this bad was possible. Goat Simulator will keep you entertained for around five minutes at most. Y'know what my biggest complaint about this game is? There isn't enough "game" in this game. Goat Simulator is a comedy game, and there's nothing wrong with that, but Goat Simulator consists entirely of comedy, and it doesn't even do that right. Goat Simulator has two jokes, and they are as follows: "It's funny when people fall down", and "Glitches are funny". Those two jokes are what the entire game consists of. You spend the entire game gaining points by causing, "chaos", but there's no real chaos being caused. As soon as you trip someone up, they will just get up and keep walking. This is something which games like Just Cause have discovered from the very first game- if you cause chaos, you get into trouble, and the trouble escalates. The police will come, and if you resist arrest, the chaos will become more chaotic. Tanks and fighter jets will appear. In other words, chaos gets more chaotic- and that's the whole point of chaos, and Goat Simulator doesn't do it right. It's actually a living hell. No one pays attention to you, you're essentially invisible. So, Goat Simulator is a joke game, composed entirely of glitches and one joke. And get this- It costs real money...

    So that's Goat Simulator. It's an awful, unfinished, unplayable pile of **** and I strongly suggest that you never, EVER touch it, not even with an EXTREMELY long cattle prod. Coffee Stain Studios should be ashamed of themselves for making it.    … Expand

It becomes a shame then that all this $20 title devolves into is the same enjoyment you would get from listening to fart jokes all day long.

    Goat Simulator's premise is simple. You play as a goat dropped into an area littered with rag doll humans and objects and there's literally no objective. It becomes up to you to cause mayhem, which racks up a total score and multiplier. The fun to be had here is in how stupid you could things play out. Whether you're riding a rollercoaster with a DeadMau5 helmet or blasting people away with a dragon shout whilst body boarding across the map, the game won't fool anybody that it's a simulator, and nobody's unironically pretending it to be. That ultimately becomes the crutch and only point of the game, to pass off some laughs for a good hour at the silliness of it all, preferably with friends. Once that initial hour wore off for me, laughs diminished into uninterested smirks and eye rolling boredom. There's nothing else to the game save for a few modifiers, although I expect the modding scene to spice it up slightly more, but with the same results. Make no mistake, it's an intentionally bad game, but it becomes up to your volume of tolerance for this sort of amusement. Like Minecraft, it's limited by your imagination, and unfortunately, I don't have much tolerance for this kind of hilarity.

    Goat Simulator is painfully aware at what it set out to be, stupid fun. The music speaks volumes of its comedic tone. The rag doll physics are 'fine' tuned for maximum ridiculousness. Despite what it's got going for it, Goat Simulator's form of entertainment didn't last long at all for me and only served to highlight the problem with games of this caliber: poorly made games are passed off for only giggles rather than addressing that they do indeed suck.    … Expand

    It's a mockery to game developers everywhere when this gets 240 negative reviews out of the 870 that it has! Way to many positive reviews, way to little mixed, not enough negative, too much money!    … Expand

    Eğlendirici değil, amaçsız, saçma sapan mekanikler. İnsanlar bu oyuna nasıl gülüyor anlamıyorum. Oyun bug dolup taşıyor, o buglardan da komik bir şeyler ortayaca çıkıyor. Kaymağını yapımcılar yiyor. Normalde başarılar dilerdim ama bugsuz bir oyun yapmaları onların sonu olur.

    Easily the worst game I've played. Even as a fan of sandbox-adventure-type games, I found this utterly pointless; it bored me to tears. Just playing it made me feel that I was wasting time in the worst way possible. Essentially, in this game you jump, roll, charge, and steal in a poorly-rendered block-size wasteland.

    Do you think you're going to get at least 2 hours of fun from being a goat and destroying stuff? Wrong. It's only fun (is fun the right word?) for 5 minutes or so. Do you think its PewDiePie bait that only appeals to 8-12 year olds? You are absolutely correct. Jesus, this game is awful.

    Okay, serious talk here. This game has about 10-20 minutes of actual "fun" in it before it gets boring. You'll show it to your friends and laugh a little but it's definitely not worth 10$. Each map adds a couple new things but after you play it through once it loses all fun and enjoyment. There's no replayability to this game, or plot, or anything that a good game has.

There's no replayability to this game, or plot, or anything that a good game has. It's just running around a map licking things and going "baa".

    However, this game did save itself a little by adding the Goat MMO update which was a huge parody of MMO games and was admittedly cute and pretty fun. It gave a bunch of useless quests and funny references to fantasy books and movies. This adds a little more to the replayability and length of the game as there's a lot to do on this map, even if it's not that big.

    Overall though, this game is not worth the 10$ price tag that the developers are asking for and should only be bought on sale if you have 5$ or so. It's a pretty neat idea but it was executed poorly in my opinion. Trust me, it's a baaaaad game.    … Expand

    I found this on sale for $3.99 and figured that I might as well buy it since it's just four dollars.

    Worst four dollar purchase I've ever made. It was hilarious for 5 minutes then boring as hell. Hook your goat's tongue onto a car that is spinning around in circles and laugh for a few minutes, then realize that there's nothing else in the game to do. I'm pretty embarrassed that I even got it.

    This game is a blast! You'll laugh you're head off! For about an hour. Once you've seen everything, the game becomes EXCRUCIATINGLY BORING! The map is too small, so everything can be found VERY easily. And, honestly, if a game is deliberately buggy, you know that's a bad sign. When you've seen it once you've seen it all. So just never see it AT all!

    This game is at best a 10-minute laugh. You writhe in the ridiculousness and have a good laugh with your friends, but after just the slightest time you start to understand that the developers were correct when they said it's not worth buying unless it's on sale.

    Goat Simulator has some incredibly funny moments. Unfortunately, if you've watched a few of the videos for it on YouTube, you've seen them all. Otherwise, the game is pretty, but it gets boring in well under 2 hours.

Unfortunately, "Goat Simulator" became victim of it's own joke, as developers greed for money made this game part of the problem. And for becoming such a hit on Steam, it embodies the low point of game development.
    Though on a second thought, I applaud developers from the financial stand point. Not only they satirized the whole platform of modern indie era of **** simulators, but they also proved the satire completely true by becoming a hit and in a process getting tons of money. And all thanks to the standards, that are pretty much non existent. Smart move.
    This game is nothing much than an unpolished, buggy (yes, I know, that's the point...), and worst of all - unoptimized mess of a title. They didn't even try to make this good, intentionally keeping it pathetically bad. No effort. It's like making movie purposely bad, but in the end it becomes just painful, because it feels like an empty simulation - a soulless experience. And Goat Simulator tried something very similar - there's a reason why we laugh at glitches and things that break logic in a game - they are unintentional. However this was one giant glitch on purpose. And that's the heart of a joke... Also some random cultural references... Big deal.    … Expand

    I laughed a bit with the funky physics engine glitches, but in the end, it felt like one of those games where it is severely over-hyped by YT commentators.
    Limited map, crap AI (if you could even call it AI, the NPCs don't even move half of the time), and an overall dull, monotonous, repetitive, unrelieved, unvaried, unimaginative, uneventful piece of crap.

    Stay away from this game.
