    You'll love it or you'll hate it, but it won't go unnoticed. Full of bugs and completely unpolished, this is the same kind of crazy game that PC gamers enjoyed a few month ago.

    Ultimately, Goat Simulator is a hilarious mess that is worth experiencing for a few hours, just one you probably shouldn't buy.

    Aside from some cheap laughs and managing to somehow become an internet cultural phenomenon, this goat game offers up little in terms of any substance. Instead you get a glitch, buggy shallow experience you will ditch in a matter of days.

    I appreciate the developers' commitment to a gag, and as a piece of conceptual comedy Goat Simulator has few competitors in the world of video games. Still, when there's not a huge difference between playing the game and watching compilation clips of it online, potential buyers must ask themselves whether it's really worth ten dollars for the opportunity to feel buyer's remorse soon after.

    If you want to waste your money on a broken game that barely inspired a smile from us, buy Goat Simulator. Presumably, if Coffee Stain Studios tried making Hilarity Simulator it'd be set in a morgue.

    This feels like a waste of time, let alone money.

    1. Pay money for game.
    2. Fool around with game for a bit.
    3. Realize that there is a VERY finite number of things you can do.
    4. Realize that there is a VERY small environment in which to do those things.
    5. Decide to do a few crazy things in order to get the achievements (because there is nothing better to do with the "game"
    6. Become board with those crazy things.
    7. Quit game and actually decide to uninstall it from your hard drive.
    8. Kick yourself in the ASS for having spent your hard earned money on such a steaming pile of turd.    … Full Review »

    FUN!!!!!!... for about 5 minutes. Those are the words I would use if I were reviewing this game in 5 words or less. When you first turn theFUN!!!!!!... for about 5 minutes. Those are the words I would use if I were reviewing this game in 5 words or less. When you first turn the game on you're greeted by essentially what the game is. Fun and cheesy music on repeat. You can then turn the game off because you have experienced it.

    It's a Tony Hawk game with goats!

    Hmm... How to rate this game? It's 10 bucks and I can say I got every penny worth out of it. In an xbox    It's a Tony Hawk game with goats!

    Hmm... How to rate this game? It's 10 bucks and I can say I got every penny worth out of it. In an xbox one game library which is severely lacking, this is lots of fun. It's just refreshing to play something for the sheer joy of destruction, mayhem, and exploration.

    It has local 4 player which I have done and was ridiculously laugh out loud craziness! (I don't know about online)

    It has lots of easter eggs which keeps you playing.

    If you are looking for a break and want something mindless yet oh so satisfying it is well worth the price of admission. Kinda makes me want to invade GTA as a goat...    … Full Review »
