    This game is absolutely retarded which is why I love it. It's the perfect game for those people who like satirical comedy, as long as they don't mind it being a little dark.

    Every so often, a video game will transcend excellence and begin to soar into the empyrean of true philosophy. Goat simulator is such a game.

    10/10….

    This is not a game, this is a joke and it shows that stupid people numbers are really high because how this game sells.
    Do not buy, it contains only bugs, no effort was put in this game, it was created as a joke, that's all.

    The Best Game Ever Made in the History of Mankind!! Goat - all you ever wanted to be - a goat. Fulfill your deepest desire and make your most inner dreams come true by being simply a goat! A masterpiece beyond what you could have imagined!

    I always wanted to be a goat that can pull cars around with its tongue. I hope there will be a patch that adds Oculus Rift support and first person view in the future!

    This is probably the most creative game released since Portal. It makes no sense, it is **** crazy, and it is tons of fun. Its strength is its random insanity and lack of any real substance. It is easily worth $10 for the humor.

    All these wanna-be critics giving bad reviews to the game are actually missing the point of this game.
    Don't give into their stupidity and pretentious wording, this game is well worth its price, and is definitely fun.

    While being a nice and certainly fun game to play, it's all based on being completely silly and over-the-top.
    In my opinion, it'd do better as an easter egg in an existing game, rather than being a standalone

    It's pathetic that this game has less than an 80 from professional reviewers. It's like they are incapable of taking a joke these days. Regardless, this game is loads of fun to play with friends around and laugh about the silly stuff that happens. The fact that it has steam workshop behind it definitely helps too. Ignore the "professional reviewers." This game is fantastic for the price you pay.

The physic tolerance number set to the worst possible number so that every objects goes through and stick to others objects to make bugs. Oh yeah, it's "fun"... no it's not. Then you have some "quests" (jump and such) that can be completed in an hour and you also visited the whole map and there's nothing else do to. Deleted.

    There are very few games that let you do whatever you feel like at any given moment. Sure you can't drive a car, but you can blow it up by headbutting it. If you're looking for a good time rather than a long story, or have ever wanted to be a goat, this is your game.

    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.

    A masterpiece, that breaks the self imposed barriers of gaming narrative and ensnares the player with intelligent gameplay and brilliant A.I. Anyone wanting to tackle the same themes will have to be compared to Goat Simulators work in the future, and it won't be pretty.

    Goat Simulator doesn't really offer anything new to the Goat genre. It just repackages everything already done in Goat games. For a quick round of jumping, bucking, running, and other goat related gaming, it scratches the itch. If you're looking for hard core goat gaming look somewhere else.

    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.

    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.    … Expand

    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.    This is by far the most splendid goat simulator I have ever played.
