Synopsis
Goat Simulator is the latest in goat simulation technology, bringing next-gen goat simulation to YOU. You no longer have to fantasize about being a goat, your dreams have finally come true! WASD to write history.


Gameplay
The gameplay in Goat Simulator is fairly simple. You explore the open world as a goat, earning points for jumping on objects, violently braking and licking everything in your visual sight. Allowing yourself to toggle slow motion to change a sandbox game into a epic and hilarious cinematic moment. The Goat can stick anything on his long and invincible tongue at any time, in order to stick and throw around objects and people to earn points or to let the game physics to make another funny moment, or even make a ragdoll model. There are countless numbers of easter eggs in the sandbox world, such as becoming King of all Goats, with a special power of sticking the tongue out and filling the whole screen with all but Goat tongue, or becoming a character similar to Sonic The Hedgehog performing barrel rolls.
You will also counter across countless numbers of bugs and glitches in this game, which most were made deliberate in oder to generate funny moments and ridicules scenes by the developers. The exaggerated physics and world lets everything to send flying across your screen, exploding and braking random objects and explosives.
Overall, there isn't one second that you get frustrated in this game, it's a completely stress-free laugh maker. If you had a bad day at school or at work, throwing your body around and ejecting your tongue out to everything you encounter and just being suicidal is just exactly what you want to do.


Graphics
Although the Graphics are actually very well done for a simulator video game that's about goats, there are some enhancements that could have taken place, for example allowing real-time reflection to the cars and metal objects, or having random grass movements by wind and character movement. The real-time lighting and the shadow is very well done, it gives you a very good understanding of day and night. They could of implemented more skyboxes, always having a grey sky with a stoned sun isn't the best you can be offered.
beside the exaggerated ridicules game physics, animals and people in this game looks like dolls, they look like if they can bend their arms and legs and just put them back. Also the cars and Tracks are just stupid in this game, they ignore traffic and just run over you, making and repeating the exact same sound effects.


Controls
The Controls are very simple, you just use WASD and your mouse to walk and look around, space to jump.
The only thing that's difficult to control is the Jetpack, which is basically impossible to control no matter how much you put into it. It will lead to where ever your mouse it at, which is almost impossible to keep track of. But keep in mind, this is a comedy and a parody simulator that's made to be stupid, so these controls were made to be difficult in order to let the stupid game physics to take over, and be completely hilarious.
