    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.

    I guess it's a game... Good job to the devs tho, getting people to buy soemthing an intern did on his lunch break is pretty impressive.

    this is a very bad game for the console. just extravagant but without any history which makes the player stay away.

    There's a minigame needed to get platinum... this minigame got banned due to people committing suicide over it. Disgusting devs putting a suicide game in here.

    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

    the game is too raw and it has too many bugs. the price is too high for such a low-quality product.

    if you're not a kid please do not buy this game. it will not make you laugh, it's not fun, it's just straight garbage, and you will not enjoy it unless you're younger than 7.

    Total garbage. Will not buy from these developers. Annoying, boring, unplayable mess. Not even funny. Stupid rubbish.

    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.

The game would be fine if it wasn't so ugly to look at, and if it wasn't so glitchy. The biggest issue is the price tag. Who in their right mind thinks it's worth 8, or even 30 dollars?!… Expand

    hilarious game but there are literally no actual objectives or real content. essentially just a sandbox which is fun to play with friends, mess around with physics, and run over a dancing family at a barbeque

    Worth it when it is on a sale. If you have two controllers, try it with your friend, bcs It will be more fun

    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.

    This game is sure to make you laugh for hours with it's hilarious physics and crude humor! I laugh hysterically every time I get hit my an object, explode, get wind propelled, or just get sucked into my own vortex!

Of course it's not a perfect game, but damn for 8.99 it's well worth the price!… Expand

    I tried with all my heart to like this game, and I gave it every fair shot I could, but the lack of depth, and the fact the goofiness really fades quickly made this quite a forgettable experience.

Goat Simulator is a physics-based comedy game where you run around a setting as the goat and cause mayhem. 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.

    This game is a pain. There is plently of bugs, I played 10 minutes and I was extremely bored! I don't know how it could be fun to play a dumb game like that and the controls are another pain!

    best 9 dollars i've spent in a long time. Plenty of open world exploration and crazy stuff to find around every corner. its like GTA but without actually killing people and crappy stories. Now just need to be able to drive the vehicles and it would be perfect.

    A couple of hours of mindless fun. Goat Simulator is what it is a physics test made into a full retail release. It has some pretty hilarious moments however wears thin swiftly thereafter.

    One of the best game ever, and I'm not joking. If you don't like this game, simply you don't understand it. Just play it and become a goat. Best thing ever.

    Play it with kids. They will enjoy it!!! Also, if you don't like to search for the trophies, just don't buy this game. The trophies are hillarious. I will totally check the DLC's when they will get a 50% off.

    You’d think a game about wanton destruction with split-screen co-op would offer lots of content and fun times to chew on. Sadly, that cud turns to crud in a few short hours. [November 2015, p74]

    Surgeon Simulator used to be my go-to silly, cooperative, party-friendly game. I’m glad to add Goat Simulator to that list.
