    This is an amazing game with a world filled with many awesome things to do. It's better than any triple AAA title like any of the COD games and was created at a fraction of the cost. There's tons of achievements and months worth of content. Get it now!

    All my life I dreamed of what it would be like to be a goat. I dream no more. This has to be the "Citizen Kane" of the video-game medium. Yes, Goat Simulator is truly the apex of gaming. More moving that "The last of us". Cuter than Mario. Faster than Sonic. More badass than COD. After playing this, you need never bother with another game again. It's got it all here. It's *that* good. StopAll my life I dreamed of what it would be like to be a goat. I dream no more. This has to be the "Citizen Kane" of the video-game medium.

    You must understand the humor behind the game to enjoy the game. I'd suggest watching videos first to see if the humor is your kind of humor. My son can't stop laughing, given that I'd say it was an excellent purchase. Some other reviewers just don't seem to get that. I don't know what they expected. I also doubt they watched videos fisrt.

    BEST GAME I'VE EVER PLAYED. PERIOD. This surpassed all my expectations of an indie game, beating all other AAA titles including all genres such as RTS, FPS, RPG. The dawn of a new age of gaming has arrived.

    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.

    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.

    This is a master piece of art that should not be called as a game and sold at such a low price. Come on, indie fanboys, rate this game as high as possible!!!! This represents the future of gaming, the booming of PC gaming standards! This is a war between old-fashioned PC gaming and drastic innovation with emphasis on player experience.

    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 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.

    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.

    This is the game that all fans of realistic goat simulation have been waiting for! I graduated from biology & now work as a farmer at a goat farm and I have to applaud the game's simulation. Very realistic, very fun, very engaging simulator overall..

    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

    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.

    This game is what it says it is. There is no next level ground breaking gameplay. They advertised exactly what it is. And for what it is it, it is great. These expert "critics" are being completely idiotic. It's like me giving Titanfall a 0/10 because it is a bad MMORPG...

    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.

    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

    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.

    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.

    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!!!

    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 is a game that is pure fun, and with the capability to be modded will give it a very long life. There is much to do in the game, and much funny antics to be had. The game is a nice cheap $10 which is nice. I would recommend it, and would I play it again? Goat/10

    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]

    Definitely funny, just not quite for long enough to sustain you, and the surrounding game is uneven. [July 2014, p.65]

    It's more than stupid, it's so moronic it becomes something almost sublime. [Issue#249, p.66]
