#Goat simulator i cant believe youve done this series#

The important takeaway, honestly, is that a great comedian knows his or her own limits, and Goat Simulator’s narrow, single-minded focus on silly mayhem is its ultimate trump card. With bonuses like optional modifiers (a jetpack!) and Steam Workshop functionality (which should guarantee more user-made worlds and tweaks), Goat Simulator’s $10 asking price might actually deliver the most stupid fun of the year. Loud, chunky sound effects, jacked-up physics reactions, and entertaining glitches round out every burst of the game’s activity. Check off Goat Simulator’s to-goat list, and your score will skyrocket in a Tony Hawk-meets-Jackass point system. Thankfully, the game propels you toward maximum hilarity and chaos by way of a task list and achievements. That’s not to say it doesn’t hide secrets and hilarity, like a hang glider zipping around, or a small tower with a “queen” goat hiding within, or a secret burial ground at the top of a hill, but you won’t need more than an hour to chart Goat Simulator’s every inch. Your canvas is a small, weird town, maybe a smidge bigger than a classic Super Mario 64 level. (Oh, we should mention that every single parked car in the game explodes when touched, just like in real goat life, and doing so will send your goat flying over a mile in the sky.) The “Ragdoll” button makes your goat go limp, which has no real gameplay use but can be fun to trigger when you make the mistake of headbutting a car. Or the game could have been an awkward, walk-alongside-a-farmer journey in which players were encouraged not to chew on their masters. It could have turned out a giant joke, in which players wander a boring, isolated countryside while pausing on occasion to chew on grass.
It’s terrifying to consider the directions a game named Goat Simulator could have gone. That makes this review a veritable goat showdown. What’s more, the game in question was a sequel, meaning the virtual goat revolution has been a long time coming. Yet only days earlier, another goat game-one with actual esteem, wit, and intelligence, if you can believe it-launched, too. In spite of its April 1st release date, the game was no prank (or, it was released, at least). The hubbub began in February with the seemingly fake announcement of a game called Goat Simulator, whose wacky, buggy “alpha gameplay” video drew so many laughs, its creators decided to turn the project into a real game. Ladders, boxes, bulletin boards, and some meat? Looks like a Goat Simulator party to us! reader comments 46 withįar be it from us to call two titles a trend, but 2014 may well go down as gaming’s Year of the Goat.
