    A sandbox of the simplest kind, Goat Simulator is a mental yet uproarious title whose silly antics will put a smile on the dial of even the most po-faced gamer.

    Goat Simulator isn’t much of a game, but it’s a hell of a good time. The small but dense map is packed with tons of jokes and bugs that should be seen rather than talked about, and there’s at least a few hours’ worth of entertainment in goofing around with the jetpack alone.

    Goat Simulator is the worst best game you have to play at all costs. It is unique, and definitely will grow thanks to its already active community.

    Here’s the thing. I can sort of appreciate Goat Sim, but it leaves me a little cold. However, I showed it to some pre-teens, and they thought it was the greatest game they’d ever seen. Their sides still hurt from laughing.

    The game allows for user-created mods, and downloading new levels and tweaks might give this kid some extra legs. But I suspect most players will have a few hours of fun and then file this game away as an occasional novelty to pull out when they’re especially bored, drunk or just need to give their goat a good thrashing. That’s not a euphemism. Probably.

    Goat Simulator is mostly a big gaming joke, and we'd love to love it. But it needed to be free, or really cheap. With a 10 euros price tag, players can ask for more. As the creators of this UFO said earlier, "you should probably instead buy a hula hoop, a pile of bricks or a real goat".

    This is a 10-minute laugh, if that – the kind of thing that's here today, gone tomorrow, but for a brief moment in history is the talk of Shoreditch and Twitter. It's the gaming equivalent of a novelty single and even the developers, to give credit where it's due, recommend you don't buy it. Listen to them.

    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.… Expand

    1. Get yourself a hangover 2. Gather up with 2 or 3 friends. 3. Acquire some beers 4. Have tons of fun for 2 hours. The area is small, but there was actually a decent amount of "quests" for a joke game like this. The quests give you more stupid stuff that get the physics even more crazier.… Expand

    Its fun for a bit. Maybe an hour or two at most. But then it gets dull and dumb. Simple as that. Like I just said, its a ton of fun for about 2 or 3 hours, but then it just gets old. Getting out of the map, or climbing a ladder with your head may seem like fun, but, as I keep saying, it just gets dull quick. So should you buy this?Yes. Why? Because its fun for 2 hours. Should you love this?No. Why?Because it gets really, really dumb after an hour or so… 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.… Expand
