    The game is fun. Its just short lived fun however. Even with the mods made by other players to play with i would say 2 or 3 hours before most people would get bored. The game is more fun to talk about than play after awhile. If i put a price tag on it i would say its a $5 value. Pointless stupid fun.

    First 5-10minutes was very funny, but now after 3hours its not funny. That city is just so small and its not very good, if the city is 2times larger i think i give more points for this game, i am waiting for Patch 1.1 to play splitscreen but i dont think its very good. If you aren´t very rich dont buy this game.

    A bit of silly fun that will have you giggling for an hour or two. Probably not worth $10, but you should definitely snag it on sale. New content and mods are coming, too, so it will be a fun game to go back to occasionally for more silliness.

    Only rated it a 2 because of it being an original style game.

    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.

    I wouldn't say it was a disaster completely though, it has a lot of fun ideas and the gimmick was hilarious until it wore thin, however would I recommend you buy it? Nah, save your money for a real game. Find a youtuber you like and watch him/her play it for an hour, it will cost you nothing for a probably more enjoyable time.    … Expand

    If you like games that are purposely glitchy and sandbox open world (small world at the moment), this game is really fun. There's no real point to it other than doing things to gather trophies, but its simply fun. its a nice break since its causal

    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.

    Controls: 9.5/10 (Controls are simple, creative but there should more keys or the fact of adding controller support) Gameplay:    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 game is VERY FUN... For about an hour or two. I really don't mind the bugs (they are intended to be there), but the game is limited to it's core design and gets really repetitive and boring.

    It doesn't worth it's 10 dollar price. Buy it when it's like 1 or 2, laugh a lot (in the short amont of time you will enjoy the game) and uninstall it, cause you won't come back for more.

    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.

    doesn't everyone know that this is suppose to be a broken game? I mean the purpose of it is to see silly glitches and messed up physics and stuff for a laugh, that's what the game is, something that will make you laugh. and it does a great job at that

    The idea is somehow nice, but the gameplay gets REALLY boring after some time.
    It's one of those PewDiePie games that aren't really good for other uses.
    It's absolutely worse than the other games made by the authors.

    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.

You can become the queen of goats, make demonic sacrifices, and even fly through the air in bizarre and uncontrollable patterns.

    I'm amazed at the scores of Goat Simulator. It's hilarious, even if it doesn't have much content. Obviously a lot of people felt like it wasn't enough for their money, but even if they had a laugh, that means no points?

    No no, It's nothing. Just a clever idea to make easy money by selling dumb stuff to dumb people. This isn't even a game or simulator or whatever they call it. And I don't find it funny. It's ridiculous.

    Несмотря на ярко-выраженный глубокий юмор разработчиков, интерес к кривой чудо-разработке угасает быстро. Мало контента, делать почти нечего, но пару часов увлечёт.

    Polarizing game that has some potential somewhere. It's just really rough right now and loses it's appeal after a few hours. There's plenty of indie games out there that are just less buggy and more fun.

    With another map coming in the future and enough humor and achievements to earn, it holds a decent value for $10 (new "DLC" is going to be free"). The game has no excuse to run at the frame rate it does sometimes. Bugs that slow the game down are not entertaining for the player.

Steam workshop support will likely make the game more fun with user created maps, but one should not have to count on user created content for value in a game. This is not "the death of PC gaming" as one reviewer has stated. It's a joke of a game that proves a fake video can be made a reality by the community's feedback. Most games-even most games by this developer- are not like this. This is only because the community seriously asked for this game.… Expand

    If you're looking for a top-notch goat simulator, keep looking. The hornplay is rough, the traffic accidents unfulfilling, and I have seen better action on Can-Eating Extravaganza, Goat Duel II, and Billy Goats' Revenge.
