    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. 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. 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
    - You can be a goat

    This game is meant to be a joke. People complain oh the games is to broke to play even when the devs said it is meant to be buggy. I would give this game a good review anyday because it is funny and enjoyable. There are plenty of things to do such as lick humans, fly jetpacks and so on. The update added way more stuff including a whole new map with much more to do and more goats to play. AThis game is meant to be a joke.

    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!

    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.

    This game is a living meme which makes it deserve a 10/10.
    Go play it, or pirate it, then you are going to have a good laugh for a while.

    This game is magnificent and hilarious to play alone and in co-op. The game alone only features two large worlds to which offers enough to do to warrant putting countless hours into the game. There are also several inexpensive DLCs which offer even bigger and more interesting worlds which well worth the money.

    There is no reason to avoid this Game. Its a truly masterpiece. Goat Simulator is more Worth than this trash games called „Super Mario 64“ „Resident Evil 4“ „Gta 5“. These Trash Games are super buggy and cheap.

    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

I mean, watching a man fly 600 meters into the air because you poked him with your horn is ******* hilarious. The maps are decent sized, has a handful of things to do on the side, and runs fairly ok. 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

    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.

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

    The developers said out loud that Goat Simulator is not worth buying unless you come across their game on some sale. And they are right. [05/2014, p.69]
