Goat Simulator: The Bundle (PS4)

Product Information

I can sit here telling you that Goat Simulator is just not that amusing for the rest of my life, and that won’t register with half of my audience. From headbutting cars into the stratosphere to latching onto helicopters with your tongue, the game encourages players to discover new and absurd ways to wreak havoc. Ibrisagic had no intention of this becoming a full title, instead only offering the prototype for him and other developers to learn Unreal Engine 3 alongside other developers that were developing prototypes in more earnest. Licking objects attaches the goat's tongue to the object and lets the player drag the object around until they let go.

Dan Stapleton of IGN considered the title a "clever interactive spoof of all the broken game physics we’ve seen in open worlds" and despite being short, was a "hell of a good time". The team, having no plans for a full release, debated on whether to approach a large publisher to receive funding to help make the title into something like Grand Theft Auto, but decided to stay with a small, inexpensive title that would be truer to the teaser video.The expansion's content spoofs zombie-based survival games, such as DayZ, and includes a new map and gameplay aspects such as fighting off zombies and crafting. Ultimate Goat Experience: Get the complete Goat Simulator package, including the base game and its DLC add-ons, GoatZ and MMO Simulator, for a truly immersive goat simulation adventure. It’s a clever subversion of standard game tutorials, and it will be the last time I use the word ‘clever’ in this review. Ibrisagic had focused on goats after jokingly trying to convince his coworkers that goats would achieve viral attention on the Internet in much the same way that cats presently do. Dreams Come True: Goat Simulator brings your goat fantasies to life, offering an unparalleled goat simulation experience that lets you embrace your inner goat.

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. I have a vivid memory of watching Wes Anderson’s Moonrise Kingdom in a packed theater and being the only person laughing along.

You can also ride the likes of skateboards and bicycles, though these are incredibly hard to control as you have to keep pressing left and right to balance yourself on them. There's nothing else to the game save for a few modifiers, although I expect the modding scene to spice it up slightly more, but with the same results.

There’s not much actual gameplay here beyond breaking things for points, but shooting for a high score is probably the least entertaining thing about Goat Simulator. Like Minecraft, it's limited by your imagination, and unfortunately, I don't have much tolerance for this kind of hilarity. Goat Simulator is the latest in goat simulation technology, bringing next-gen goat simulation to YOU. Read more about the condition New: An item that is still in its original shrink wrap from the manufacturer and the original manufacturer’s seal (if applicable) has not been removed. Exaggerated physics are used to great effect in most of these – it’s hilarious to kick over a dining room table and send everything flying (including the dinner guests), then have a random plate or piece of fruit fly out the window with enough force to cause a nearby car to explode.It was released for Microsoft Windows in April 2014, and ports for Linux and OS X were released in June 2014.
