    The best game in the universe with the most intricate plot, there is no deeper plot anywhere.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Epic, just epic.

    Goat Simulator feels like one big joke of a game and surely does not take itself seriously. I cannot even imagine how you can come up with this and how you turn a normal everyday animal into a video game. But they did, and it works!

    If you take a simple look at the game, it is nothing more than a square sandbox in which you can screw things and people up as a goat. You earn and unlock mutators for even more carnage and madness like flying, spawn goats, build blocks Minecraft style and many, many more. Normally this type of games bore me pretty quick because there is no end goal or clear end to the game. But because the game as one hundred and twenty-four achievements, requiring you to do certain things and interacting with the world and the various secrets and Easter eggs, I automatically got a purpose to play the crap out of this game. It also gave me a full tour throughout all the crazy and hilarious stuff in this godforsaken piece of glitch. Going for the achievements is the way to go to fully explore everything and feeling that what you do matters.

    The graphics for Goat Simulator are fair and are not that bad to look at, the music is hilarious, it is silly, and it is perfectly fitting for the game you are playing. Once again you can see that the developers wanted to state that this game is not to be taken seriously. The physics in this game are broken and out of control but this is to be expected and Goat Simulator is the one game that can pull this without complaints. It fits the experience.

    Sometimes I was really focused, I tried to get a certain objective and then when I looked at my character, I forgot that I was playing as a freaking goat. It is just the magic of this game.

    Goat Simulator has many, many references, Easter eggs and parodies on other video games and movies. They are hilarious. Mainly because the realization kicks in that it is a freaking goat which is now the super star of that movie or game part. You can clearly see that the developers had the best of times when creating this thing.

    There are three DLC’s available for this game and all three of them are totally worth it. They have all the same humour, crazy mutators and NPC’s and add cool new features like the apocalypse, a goat in space, flying in a freaking spaceship with the worst controls god ever created and “pranking” people instead of doing heist in the Payday DLC. Definitely recommend the various DLC’s. The MMO simulator is perhaps one of the best. You get the feeling that you are in World of Warcraft, the fake chat and players in the game had me fooled for nearly two hours and once again, the references and parodies on other video games were fun.

    Even though you must not take this game seriously, I wanted to make a special note for the Flappy Goat achievement (score 10 points in Flappy Goat). It has been a long time that I attempted and got an achievement this horrendous. I thought I was cured from my gamers rage but that one got it back in full swing.

    Definitely recommend this gem.    … Expand

    The sheer realism of this game just goes to show how far computer technology has come. And if a simulation that feels so profoundly real can run on my modest desktop computer, I find myself contemplating that perhaps ... perhaps we ARE living in the Matrix! Do you know goat-fu?

    Its a cheap game with quite a bit of content, good humor, and mechanics that, while very glitchy, provide a lot of laughs and replay value. I've spent over 150 hours playing this game so I'd say its worth 10 bucks

    "Disclaimer: Goat Simulator is a completely stupid game and, to be honest, you should probably spend your money on something else, such as a hula hoop, a pile of bricks, or maybe pool your money together with your friends and buy a real goat."

    OH and while I am at it, the developers also give you a neat description of the games key features. So, if the disclaimer was not enough to get it in your head what this games is about, the key features list really eradicates any doubt:

    - You can be a goat
    - Get points for wrecking stuff - brag to your friends that you're the alpha goat
    - Steam Workshop support - make your own goats, levels, missions, game modes, and more!
    - MILLIONS OF BUGS! We're only eliminating the crash-bugs, everything else is hilarious and we're keeping it
    - In-game physics that spazz out all the time

    Aside from exploring the surprisingly small map, the player is still able to interact with a small amount of Easter eggs scattered around the map (I'll not spoil of course).

    And as i almost forgot to mention, there are a few achievements and quests in this game, and it can be pretty fun if you try to complete them all.

    Hopefully, the developers will add in more content in the near-future, as otherwise counting on Steam Workshop won't bring much longevity to the game.

    Final Verdict: 8/10 , probably the weirdest game of the year with some form of hilarity.    … Expand

    Goat Simulator is true juvenile mayhem. A playground for the imagination flinging people into crowds, barreling through penthouses sending the top floor partygoers plummeting into traffic and getting the gas tank launch just right with a car in tow for an exquisite display of "what the f***" sailing through the air across the map through a roller coaster and into the sea.

    This game is unusually funny. Not only is it fun to play and mess around with but it also feels like you can do whatever you want (Mainly because you can do anything with the goat). I know this game is obviously going to get a lot of hate, because people think its a big waist of time. Oddly I think its one of the funniest, exciting, hilarious, and fun PC games out there. And possibly ever.

    The area is small, but there was actually a decent amount of "quests" for a joke game like this. The quests give you more stupid stuff that get the physics even more crazier.

    Goat Simulator is meant to be taken sarcastically. All of you idiots who treat it as a serious mlg CoD game can **** off. It's fun, it's hilarious, and it should be taken lightly. It's a creativity tool. And it does that perfectly. But, 10 dollars for this type of game is stankeh. It isn't worth the 10 dollars. It should be 5, like Gmod. Maybe even 4.

    If you have seen the trailer, you probably already know if Goat Simulator is for you or not. It's simply an amusing game, with amusing physics, and an amusing world with a surprisingly large amount of things to find and discover. In the end you will get about as much out of this game as you are willing to put in, and that depends on how much you enjoy it's sense of humor.

There's many secrets and fun little challenges that keep you playing long enough for people to mod new levels in with workshop. Although it doesn't have all that much content now, there are already mods being made.

Is it a waste of money at $10? Maybe, that depends on how much goat humor you can handle (not a question anyone ever expected the games industry to cover). But then the game's creators state very clearly that they think the game is a piece of **** and nobody should buy it. So who deserves the 0/10 review? The company that made a joke and asked for some money for the time they took telling it (something that every entertainer does ever, anywhere, in any industry?) Or the guy who bought a game despite being told it was terrible and buggy and didn't deserve his money by the very people who spent time out of their life making it?

    Is Goat Simulator fun? Sure, it's at least as entertaining as any comedy coming out of Hollywood these days. I laughed, and then launched my goat off an oncoming car just for the hell of it. Slapstick is funny to me. Is it worth the $10? If you can accept that sometimes things are funny just because they're stupid, and you think that people deserve to get paid for what they do for a living, then sure, it's worth $10. Way I see it- it's at least as funny as a dumb movie, and at $10 it costs me about as much as a trip to the movies these days does. So if I get at least an hour and a half of entertainment out of it, which you could feasibly do just kicking around the little town and looking for some of the random **** that's been put there, not counting player created mods which are sure to extend this game's life at least some, then it's worth the money. 10/10 awesome mindblowing game? Nah. But 0/10 piece of **** buggy blah blah blah? Only if you're an idiot who can't read, chooses to ignore warning signs, and then complains when things are exactly as you're told they'll be. That's the kind of person who complains that they burned their tongue on a hot cup of coffee. Well, duh. You were warned.
