Like Minecraft, it's limited by your imagination, and unfortunately, I don't have much tolerance for this kind of hilarity. Collectibles litter the map (including a handful you need for achievements) and some of them would be challenging to acquire in a superior title.

The game itself is very basic, and is pretty dumb, but it is completely worth it considering the laughing that occurs throughout playing! In the end, Goat Simulator is funny because of the absurdity of the concept rather than because of the game mechanics.

Koch Media also distributed a retail version of the Xbox One version, including all additional downloadable content, across Europe for release on 4 March 2016. It wasn’t hilarious, but it was something to break up my numerous attempts at nailing the manual challenge. As bizarre as it may sound, Goat Simulator is a third-person, open-world goat simulator in which you control a goat, who can run, jump and carry out a surreal range of activities. It’s a clever interactive spoof of all the broken game physics we’ve seen in open worlds – almost like a greatest hits album of all the ridiculous bugs that pop up in serious games like Skyrim or Assassin’s Creed, except embraced and celebrated in a world that’s made to be broken.

Tim Turi of Game Informer stated that the first hour with the game would be amusing, but due to the lack of more expansive features, he "[does not] recommend it to anyone looking for more than disposable entertainment". At Microsoft's presentation at the 2014 Gamescom convention in August, Goat Simulator was announced as one of several titles to be coming to the Xbox One platform with the help of Double Eleven studios, [42] and later confirmed to be also arriving for the Xbox 360, with both versions released on 17 April 2015. The game, initially developed as a joke prototype from an internal game jam and shown in an early alpha state in YouTube videos, was met with excitement and attention, prompting the studio to build the game into a releasable state while still retaining various non-breaking bugs and glitches to maintain the game's entertainment value.

Unleash Destruction: Wreck and destroy with wild abandon in the shoes of a goat, earning ultimate goat points for stylish feats like backflips while headbutting buckets through windows.The game's intentional absurdity extends to its bugs, which often become part of the fun rather than detracting from it.
