Goat Simulator (Video Game Review)

Goat Simulator is a fun time brought to you by the good folks at Coffee Stain Studios, creators of actual video games such as Sanctum 2. Though Goat Simulator isn't much of a game, it does give a pretty fun environment for players to explore as a goat with some pretty special powers such as an ability to headbutt objects and send them flying or a tongue that can lick and carry nearly anything in the game behind the goat. Anyone that downloads a copy of Goat Simulator is sure to have fun with the game, but depending on your sense of humor, that fun may not last but an hour or so before the game fades into the depths of your Steam Library where it will never be played again. There isn't much to the game beyond a few trivial missions and some hidden Easter eggs, so unless it's been your lifelong dream to be a goat, it's probably best to wait for this release to go on sale.

Goat Simulator doesn't feature any semblance of a storyline and instantly drops players into the middle of the sandbox world to begin exploring as soon as the game is booted up. Nearly every action that is performed in Goat Simulator will net some points that gets added to an overall high score. The goat can headbutt objects, drag things around with his sticky tongue or ragdoll into objects for some neat effects. There are plenty of interactive objects in the world from cars that hit the goat and send him flying or trampolines that allow the goat to bounce high in the air before plummeting back down to the ground. The main priority in Goat Simulator is to have fun, but there are some quests in the game for players to attempt to complete including getting a lot of points in a single collision or headbutting certain objects.

Exploring the world of Goat Simulator is easily the most fun players will have with the game. There are plenty of jokes, gags, Easter eggs and similar items to find scattered around the world. These include some fun little adventures such as shooting off some fireworks in an explosive celebration to entering another realm to discover the goat's true destiny. There is even a fully playable version of Flappy Goat available to play in one house, and players can compare high scores with their Steam friends list in the in-game, game. There is actually a surprising amount of neat little things like these hidden in the game along with some collectibles and other items to find for fans of the new title.



Goat Simulator is a buggy release and developer Coffee Stain Studios knows it; they claim it adds more humor to the game, but clipping, getting stuck in the environment and more isn't exactly our idea of fun. Goat Simulator isn't a really terrible looking game in screenshots, but when the game is actually running, it's far from impressive. There are plenty of goofy sound effects and other animations that add to the humor of the game though. The game is fairly easy to control with keyboard or an Xbox 360 controller and includes button for slow motion to really capture a good crash and burn accident.

For fans that can't get enough of Goat Simulator, the game also packs Steam Workshop support and a custom Level Editor, so fans can create their own goats, maps and more and share them with the community. Goat Simulator is a fairly popular title, so there is always something new to download for the game on Steam to help players get the most out of their purchase. It's still difficult to recommend a game that isn't really a game and is nearly a one trick pony with the exception of some hidden items and areas to find. Goat Simulator isn't terrible, and players are sure to have fun with the game for a while, but it's hard to recommend purchasing a game that would give most players an hour of enjoyment or less when there are so many other great games available on Steam for $9.99 or less. Release your inner animal in Goat Simulator today if you need a few chuckles!

Goat Simulator is now available exclusively for PC via Steam and can be purchased for $9.99. For more information on the game, check out the official Goat Simulator website.
