    Jeu plutôt drôle et fun, on ne s'ennuie pas et il y a beaucoup d'easter eggs et de choses à découvrir avec plusieurs Map et chèvres a découvrir.

    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

Perfect game if you are bored and just want something to do. Also, you can find the TMNT gang in the sewers in the city map, so that’s something.… 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

    Some people might take this game as a joke. I take it as a game where you do tasks and earn achievements. The enormous worlds pack with secrets make it a great time killer.

    Love this game and so does my son! Infact he's the one who got me playing it! We are having a goat simulator birthday party for him and his halloween costume this year will be none other than a look a like goat off the game. Not sure what the problem is with the people leaving **** reviews, but definately worth the money because its a really cool and entertaining game!

    Goat Simulator is so hilarious that it deserves more than a 10. The randomness sometimes is just so funny, which makes this game enjoyable. The new area in the world makes for more gameplay.

    You guys complain about spending 10$ on a goat simulator, when you will happily pay about same for a menu at McDonalds or any other **** fast food chain. This game clearly does not advertise any lies or make promises it cannot hold. It even very clearly mentions a disclaimer which I'll bring here below just for the sake of it. I fail to see how you were not informed before you bought it.You guys complain about spending 10$ on a goat simulator, when you will happily pay about same for a menu at McDonalds or any other **** fast food chain.

I fail to see how you were not informed before you bought it. So stop whining ;)

    "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
    - Seriously look at that goat's neck

    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.
