Goat Simulator

At this point I have 180 hours to this 'game', & I use that word lightly. It is unlike anything else I have ever played before.

Goat Simulator originally was a hoax, a trailer from Swedish based Coffee Stain Studios poking fun at the seemingly endless barrage of mind numbingly boring simulators flooding the market, but as the collective response of the wired and wonderful individuals on the web screamed YOU HAVE TO MAKE THIS GAME, there was only one obvious route to go, and thus Goat Simulator was born.

With a very short development time Coffee Stain Studios have admitted there are bugs [and will only fix game breaking ones], but ask you to embrace them as they make the game more entertaining.
I mean how was a Goat supposed to climb a ladder anyways?
This 'game' does not take itself seriously, so neither should you.


The objective, if you can call it that, is to mooch about doing everyday goat activities like;
🔸 Destroying Goathendg,
🔹 Interrupting protests about pennies shaped foods,
🔸 Destroying Coffee Stain Studios office,
🔹 Sacrificing unsuspecting individuals to become a satanic goat,
🔸 Welding almost any object with your tongue,
🔹 Bouncing on trampolines,
🔸 Goat screaming using the voices of the developers,
🔹 Unlocking other Goats [Tall Goat - aka a Giraffe]
🔸 Riding bicycles,
🔹 Eating mushrooms,
🔸 Being abducted by aliens,
🔹 Buying hats,
🔸 Licking anything and everything,
🔹 Parkour,
🔸 Taking over deadmau5 rooftop party,
🔹 Strapping fireworks to your back,
🔸 Pushing boulders into garden barbeques,
Oh & if you were expecting things to make sense, then you’re an idiot.


Now with the addition of 4 DLC’s, MMO, Goatz, Payday & Waste of Space you can expand the Bazaar & Ultimately Pointless Shenanigans of the everyday life of a Goat and its friends in numerous ways. Adding story arcs, new maps, vehicles, quests and more, if you were one of the weird people that enjoyed the base game then this is more of the same on a stupider and grander scale.

WARNING:
This game may leave you with a fetish for Goats, I know it has for me. 10/10
