Steam Page said:
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.
•Added more goats.
•Added more goatiness to the map.
•Added and fixed achievements.
•Increased the simulation realism by 25%.
•Goat tongue realism increased by an additional 25%.
•NPCs are now fully self aware and often ponder the meaning of life.
•Added and removed profanity filter.
•Flappy Goat hitbox unchanged.
•Probably added some bugs.
•Probably broke some workshop items.
•Sheep are not goats.
•Made a GUI in visual basic to track the assailants ip address.
A: Sadly there will be no multiplayer, we are using NVIDIA PhysX and Apex for our in-game physics, which gives us amazing and realistic physics, but it would synchronise terribly in multiplayer. With multiplayer, we'd have to remove 90% of the physics, all destructible objects and a lot of our favorite features.

Simply the best goat simulator available on the market right now. Experience an average day in the life of a goat with next-gen graphics, realistic physics, a superb narrative and cutting edge sound. Initially developed as a training tool for SOF forces around the world, Goat Simulator aims to provide a gritty, heavy, hardcore experience where players are forced to adapt in order to survive.
So look at this, trying to write a serious review for a game like this honestly I wasn't expecting much because I've had some bad experiences with "games that were made in a short time" but this game is actually pretty detailed and fun!!! In-game objectives are constantly making me discover new things, and boy the Easter eggs themselves are more than enough to keep my interest for way longer.
The controls are actually pretty good haha, you can do a multitude of things like headbutt and find special items in-game to gain special abilities (become a tank shooting baseballs or summon peasant goats when you become king goat...) Overall this game is really a lot of fun, and not just because of the silliness haha~!
The ultimate goat simulation game. Flight Simulator taught me how to fly commercial airplanes when I was young, and Goat Simulator has taught me how to become the alpha goat. (Seriously…wait til it’s like a dollar on sale. Or go watch a YouTube video of it).
The parody and satirical nature of Goat Simulator is admirable. It’s a riot to play, watch other people play, and is a lot of fun – yes. However, the novelty wears off quickly and once you’ve completed the game’s quests, it becomes up to you in what and how you do things. The longevity of the game remains to be seen, as there is built-in Steam Workshop support that could provide the game’s legs that it sorely needs. Until then, Goat Simulator is not much more than a one-liner joke that isn’t worth the price of admission to this comedy club.
Goat Simulator isn’t much of a game, but it’s a hell of a good time. The small but dense map is packed with tons of jokes and bugs that should be seen rather than talked about, and there’s at least a few hours’ worth of entertainment in goofing around with the jetpack alone. 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.
From what i remember the devs put out a video of their physics sandbox with crazy goat and people shouted "Want!" and the devs laughed and people shouted "No, Really. We want it!" and the devs chuckled and said "Why the hell not? You're all crazy!" and here we are.
It's a goat based physics sandbox with steam workshop integration and bugs, lot's of them.
I honestly can't wait.
edit: Forgot to say that the aim is destruction and chaos and hilarity but there are goals and missions and more can be added by the community. If this game actually works on my machine, bugs & bugs & bugs remember, then my weekend is goaty.

Yep, adding workshop support to this off the bat is genius, since people can presumably add mods to MAKE content if it's not already there, while keeping the snowball internet popularity going.
This game is going to be huge on Let's Play channels all across YouTube once it releases. I can already sense the thousands of PewDiePie-clones desperately making up funny video titles and photoshopping thumbnails of them overacting while masturbating about the millions of views they will get.
That aside, the fact they actually went ahead and are about to release a full game on Steam based on that buggy prototype they had is amazing. Truly the GOAT of goat simulators.
