The Review: Goat Simulator

The simulator genre is an interesting concept. Gamers of old have grown accustomed to the likes of Flight Simulators and even the classic build simulators like Roller Coaster Tycoon. Simply put, we like to live the lives of others and be someone (or something) else. Goat Simulator came into the world and threw all of that out the window with absurd gameplay mechanics and completely exaggerating scenarios but you know what? It’s all mindless fun and sometimes, that’s what video games are all about.





In Goat Simulator, you literally play as a goat. But no, you’re not going to be eating grass and you’re not going to engage in any actual goat-like activities either… Unless your goats can do flips and extend their tongues the length of measuring tapes. If so, please tell me, I’m intrigued by your reality.





But yes, you play as a goat and you are free to roam around the map quite literally doing as you please. You can ram into humans, stick onto objects, and jump off cliffs and what not. The game has no literal purpose other than to do what I just wrote, and much more, but as a goat. It’s almost comparable to Grand Theft Auto, except less violent realistic and more wild. Truly, whoever came up with Goat Simulator was an imaginative person, pushing the limits of what your typical farm animal can do and going where no goat has gone before.





The most enjoyable aspect about Goat Simulator are the plethora of available community mods. While playing as a goat is cool, I thoroughly enjoyed Doge Simulator where I get to actually got to become a Shibe Inu. Much gameplay. Wow. There’s a whole plethora of available maps and characters for you to download, which just adds to the mindless fun.

G2A has the game on sale for $3.99, a whole 60% off its actual price. Is the game worth a few Hot Pockets? I say it is. You’ll laugh at it, I guarantee it.
