    This game has truly given me a deeper perspective of life. It has it all, a magnificent story that speaks straight to your heart, stunning voice acting (baaaa), and a wide room for exploration.

    Лучшая первоапрельская шутка от геймдевов!! Это реально смешно и весело! Стоит поиграть хотя б 1н раз! Но не покупайте за полную стоимость, разработчики сами так говорят, ждите скидку.

    BEST GAME EVER.

    Goat Simulator is the latest in goat simulation technology, bringing next-gen goat simulation to YOU. You no longer have to fantasize about being a goat, your dreams have finally come true! WASD to write history.

    Gameplay-wise, Goat Simulator is all about causing as much destruction as you possibly can as a goat. It has been compared to an old-school skating game, except instead of being a skater, you're a goat, and instead of doing tricks, you wreck stuff. Destroy things with style, such as doing a backflip while headbutting a bucket through a window, and you'll earn even more points! Or you could just give Steam Workshop a spin and create your own goats, levels, missions, and more! When it comes to goats, not even the sky is the limit, as you can probably just bug through it and crash the game.

    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.

    Altough Goat Simulator is a small game with no real objective it's map is packed with cool things to do with some hidden secrets here and there. It is definitely worth the 10 dollar price tag . Soon enough many people can make new stuff using the steam workshop which adds to the amount of content e.g new maps, challenges etc...

    This is by far the most splendid goat simulator I have ever played. It captures the running, jumping, licking, and headbutting essence of a real goat in a way that the other goat sims just don't deliver. If you have ever pondered about the daily life of a goat, look no further.
    Also includes the addictive mini game 'Flappy Goat' so this is like getting two games for the price of one.

    I was in a deep depression. My life seemed to be going nowhere. Then, I'm perusing the internet and I see goat simulator. I begin to weep, partially out of happiness, and partially because I'll have to wait a few days. I instantly pre-order. Goat Simulator saved me. GOTY 10/10

    I'd give this game an 11 if I could. I really do love this game but I think I'll wait for the GOATY version to come out. Always wanted to be a goat but never could.

    I won't give it a 10 because it of course doesn't deserve a 10. But I won't give anything low because this game is essentially brilliant.

    A game should give people who plays it a very good time, either memorable, fun, challenging, mind-blowing, any kind. Goat simulator is a legend that could not likely be re-written in a few years: It is a 10-dollar pack of jokes that would keep you

    1. Get yourself a hangover
    2. Gather up with 2 or 3 friends.
    3. Acquire some beers
    4. Have tons of fun for 2 hours.

    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.

    An unique masterpiece for those who dare to venture into a life of a goat. Take away 10 points if you do not have the nerve and are a serious-attitude-pants-pussu.

    A great game just to goof around with. Can entertain me for a few hours, good game to just play if you had one too many beers. I look forward to updates from Coffee Stain to make Goat Simulator more entertaining.

    Goat Simulator is a lot of fun, as long as messing around and having fun is your goal. Being a completionist can actually be quite a pain, and ruin the fun.

Game-breaking bugs aside, there are many fun, interesting, and strange things to do. You can become the queen of goats, make demonic sacrifices, and even fly through the air in bizarre and uncontrollable patterns. If you're looking for a lifelike simulation of being a goat, you're sadly out of luck. However, if you're looking for a good time rather than realistic goating, this odd mess of a game has plenty in store for you. Expand

    Goat Simulator is an amazing game, it´s extremely glitchy but the company itself said that the game was made in less than 3 weeks, so the purpose of the game is to be buggy.
    The graphics: 8:5/10 (graphics are really good not the best of the best but good)
    Controls: 9.5/10 (Controls are simple, creative but there should more keys or the fact of adding controller support) Gameplay:

    The games is intended to be silly. If any other people are rating it less than a 5, then they are taking it too seriously. The game is humorous, and contains a lot of discovery, but it's a just a tiny bit inconsistent in some places; that doesn't matter. It's a still a fun game. The achievements are easy to get and it's fun to play for what it's worth.

    For a game that intentionally left in every bug it possibly could, this is still really, really fun. Finding bugs and glitches is part of the fun.

    The game was never meant to be serious. This is absolutely brilliant to blow off some mindless steam, people who have bought it and hated it obviously did not know the background of the game and are not worthy of reviewing it. Fantastic, Love it!!!

    This is not just a joke of April fool's day.

    It has so many details and mutators of goat, which is full of originality and humor. You can combine different mutators or lick some items to construct your own goat. Enjoy a individual live, a drastic disaster which cause by you:the goat. I thought it is just a silly, ridiculous game, whit a bad physics engine and some hilarious

    Literally the best game I have ever played. It blows Ocarina of Time and GTA IV out of the water. You can preform satanic rituals. That, and the ability to be a goat is anything anyone would ever want in a game. 10/10 game of the millennium.

    The game is quirky, and has not the biggest game engine engine, but good enough to make an Indie game.
    Final Words: The game is meant to be a community game, like Garry´s Mod where you make maps, new Mutators (goats) and so on. The game is definitely worth the 10$, it may not get 1.000 Hours on your steam account, but its a really funny game, when you´re rolling the dice in custom game, with using all the goats you´re getting when you´re completing quests.

    It's fun, quirky, goofy, and has an appropriate price tag.

    No, this isn't Skyrim or Battlefield, but it knows what it is (a pointless game with an ever more pointless goal, to be a goat) and performs that to it's best degree.

    For only $9.99 you can experience this life changing masterpiece. More goats for your dollar than any other game I know of. These days there is a dire lack of goats as a protagonist/antagonist in video games. It's awesome that Coffeestain Studios decided to fill in this niche and represent goats for the first time in the industry.
