    It is a small game, but it is so beautifully crazy that you find yourself goating more often than you want to admit.

    A big, dumb, gloriously fun joke, and one that's worth checking out when you're just in the mood to see stuff get blown up by one insane goat.

    Goat Simulator is a great time for the first few hours when you're seeing everything for the first time, but once you've seen everything, there's no reason to keep playing.

    It's still quite difficult to tell somebody to buy Goat Simulator. The game is funny but completely glitched. The atmosphere is nutty, but the soundtrack is atrocious. It's merely interesting but easy to play. Well, Goat Simulator is an oddity.

    Goat Simulator is an undoubtedly funny game with a very unusual concept. Unfortunately, the joke wears very thin very fast and the gamer is left with a broken game with no real goal.

    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.

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

    One of the best games you could get in all of your life, with some of the most based developers to help create it.

    "What's that, you thought we were just done with our goat village? BAM, GOAT CITY. FREE AND EVEN BIGGER."
    "Oh hey I hope you guys enjoyed our city. Do you want us to release paid DLC? WELL TOO BAD LOL HAVE THIS GOAT MMO SIMULATOR F R E E!"

    Truly the greatest of goat people created this game.

A game that, unlike most AAA games, embrace and expand its absolute, unbridled stupidity!!!!! Its incredibly refreshing and even more incredibly fun. But the thing I found most surprising was not the destructible environments, interactivity or even the above-average graphics for an indie game, especially the beautiful water surfaces, but the pure amount of content. Hundreds of skins, powers and collectibles, Easter eggs and glitches, all manner of secrets from slender goat to aliens, robots, space and even a goat kingdom, this is a great romp through what an indie game should be like!… Expand

    Putting all the jokes aside, I don't really understand why Coffee Stain Studios even bothered porting this game to the Xbox One.

    Games like this are better off staying on PC. It ruins the fun when everyone I know can buy and play this game, since I am usually the one to talk about weird games like this.

    Apart from that, game gets boring in ten minutes top, hence why I think that this should of stayed on PC. I give this game a 6, because of the concept and originality.

    Goat Simulator is nothing but a huge bug, and it's really worth checking out. I mean you're a goat you can do crazy things. Like ride bikes,Goat Simulator is nothing but a huge bug, and it's really worth checking out. I mean you're a goat you can do crazy things. Like ride bikes, go to space, fly a jet pack, and so many other things that it would be almost impossible to name them all. I like to compare this game to "The Room" it's awful, it makes no sense, but you can't look away. If you want a game where you and your friends can play a game where you're a goat doing crazy things. Then buy this game.… Expand

    Oh un jeu indé ! un simulateur de chèvre, eh ben dis donc, j'en rêvais ! serait-ce pour aller avec les itérations annuelles du simulateur deOh un jeu indé ! un simulateur de chèvre, eh ben dis donc, j'en rêvais ! serait-ce pour aller avec les itérations annuelles du simulateur de pékor et de ses beaux tracteurs tout beaux tout neufs ? la chèvre fait bêêêh et fout le bordel en ville à la manière d'un Saints Row mais sans arme parce que la chèvre, c'est bio, c'est écolo et surtout, c'est frais !

    Le jeu d'ailleurs déborde de fraîcheur sur tous les étalages, elle saute, fait des sauts périlleux, renverse des camions... oh merde, attends, on a déjà vu ça dans les Saints Row 3 et 4 il me semble... en bien plus réussi, ouais ouais ouais. Mais sans chèvre. Par contre dans SR4, on pouvait jouer des chiottes et sauter bien plus haut. On avait même un godemiché géant (en option).

    Non, ce Goat n'est pas très frais et sent le poisson en fait. On s'y fait chier en moins d'une minute chrono, nouveau record du monde. C'est carrément du vol d'oser vendre une merde pareille qui ne fera rire éventuellement que les **** enfants et pas longtemps encore. Or, on sait que même les mômes de primaire préfèrent écraser des gens à GTA que jouer à saute-mouton avec une chèvre.

    Le plus dingue, c'est que ça tourne sur le moteur Unreal, autant dire de la confiture à un cochon... bien trop beau pour des branques qui ne savent évidemment pas l'utiliser : c'est moche et ça rame. Il ne reste plus qu'à désinstaller la biquette et cette arnaque caractérisée, ce foutage de gueule éhonté et pathétique !
