    Objectiveless toy box gameplay meant for streamers to yell over. I knew I probably wouldn't like it as I don't like these types of games. I gave it 15 minutes. Nope.

    Can be enjoyed, but shouldn't be purchased for full price. Game consist mainly of a few minigames, and you running around like a headless chicken. The game is something special.

    Bought this game for a laugh with my buddies. It was so broken physics and bug wise it was hilarious. Was it fun: with friends, on your own its just fustrating and boring. Will I keep it? No. Is it worth buying? No. It's just an advert for Waste of Space and Payday ETC DLC's. Never patched and completely broken.

    Fun at first, but the lack of content makes it boring after a while. And by that I mean real quick. This thing is good for the first 15 minutes of play and becomes real pointless after that.

    Imagine someone tried to make a Tony Hawk style game and gave up after the world was made. Also, goats? One of the worst games I have ever played. It was FREE on PS+ and I still feel like I got ripped off.

    There really isn't much here.
    The physics and controls clearly favor ridiculousness over ease of use.
    The missions are generally aimless, hence it being called a "simulator." Plus, more than half (4 of) the levels have to be purchased with add-ons, $5 per level, or $25 for the whole bundle.

    I get that this game is supposed to be a novelty and a joke, but I really feel like it could've done that and have actually been a good game, sort of like Tony Hawk mixed with GTA with a hint of Katamari; That would've been brilliant. Instead, I ended up with a clunky world (which seems intentional) and not much incentive for me to spend money on most of the game other than to get the full experience.    … Expand

    Purchased this $30 game on sale for $8. Opened it, and here's what I think. It is a horrible game with horrid animations, delayed reaction time, and it is extremely glitchy and clunky. The game felt like it was put together in 30 minutes with no patches or anything. It is a hot pile of garbage, and the max I would pay for it is $2. The game has okay exploration areas and good for sandbox.Purchased this $30 game on sale for $8. Opened it, and here's what I think.

    It can be fun for a few hours (at max), but that's about it. The maps are small and after a bit you won't find anything else to do.

    I guess I just don't get it. Maybe it'd be better with weed.

    Gave it a 5 because it looks like they at least tried to put together a sandbox. And it did get maybe 1 or 2 laughs out of my friends.

    If you are taking this game seriously, you need to rethink your life. It's a parody, meaning there is a lot of humor and spontaneous events you or anything around you can do. It's fun to explore the maps you are given and do a bunch of random stuff which makes no sense in the law of physics.

    Fun game to have, and I wouldn't entirely say it's a 'MUST have', but for what it is - it's pretty good.

You gain points by breaking as much stuff as quickly as you can, but the points don't mean much. The best way to play this game is as a trophy hunter, as that was the only way I found myself having any fun, but trophy hunting isn't something that is all that fun when frustration settles in from harder trophies. I had an okay time playing around with the game for a little while, but there is absolutely no story, very small open worlds, and no depth whatsoever. There is only so many times you can kick people and let yourself get hit by cars before you wonder what you're doing with your life. I would avoid this game, unless you are a mega-fan of games like I Am Bread or games where you just mindlessly screw around doing nothing.

It's short but perfect for groups/parties and pairs very well with alcohol. I bought it on sale- I don't think I would pay more than $5-$7 for it but it's absolutely worth that for the laughs.

    El juego consiste en que sos una cabra y tenes que destruir todo lo que hay a tu alrededor, con el fin de cumplir misiones, ganar puntos y desbloquear personajes. La verdad que esto de los personajes podría haberlo salvado... El problema esta en que hay pocos personajes a elegir, y el resto son DLC de 5 dolares! Quien va a pagar por eso? Por cierto, recomiendo usar la cabra con jetpack para explorar mejor el entorno... Y que puedo decir de los gráficos? Son horribles... parecen de un juego de hace 25 años. La interfaz y el menú principal parecen hechos por un novato! Ademas de que los modelados de los personajes son de bajisima calidad, al usar el jetpack se puede ver como el horizonte es un domo y ademas de que el juego cuenta con pantallas de carga! Que también esta mal optimizado? Incomprensible!!! Otros modelados como el de los edificios parecen de CARTÓN!!! En un juego de PS4 que te sale 12 dolares!!! El juego en si es muy simple, con malos controles, un montón de glitches y con un multijugador local que deja que desear. Ni siquiera tiene multijugador online. Lo único que usa de online el juego son los marcadores para ver los puntos. Parece uno de esos juegos hechos para contentar a los Youtubers. Pero seria mejor ver gameplays de el. Parece un juego flash de internet hecho a las apuradas en Unity! Una pena, por que cierto potencial tenia. Y si bien lo obtuve gratis gracias por estar subscrito al Plus, me tengo que poner del lado del que pago el juego... NO LO RECOMIENDO PARA NADA. Ni ahora, ni cuando lo pongan gratis. Goat Simulator podría ser gratuito por siempre, y aun así lo consideraría uno de los peores videojuegos que jamas he jugado... Hasta la PS1 tiene mejores gráficos.    … Expand
