Goat Simulator is a third-person perspective game in which the player controls a goat. There does not appear to be any kind of storyline or plot. The player is free to explore the game’s world as a goat, destroying things in the environment, running, jumping, and licking. “Goat Simulator is like an old school skating game, except instead of being a skater, you’re a goat, and instead of doing tricks, you wreck stuff,” explained the game’s creators.
The game boasts the fact that various glitches and bugs have been intentionally left in the game, as to add to the light-hearted entertainment value. Another gameplay feature is the ability to “lick” objects with the goat’s absurdly long tongue, which will then stick to the goat’s tongue and can be carried and swung around to provide an alternative method of wreaking havoc on the game environment.
With over 2.5 million sales (on IOS, Android & 6PC combined) this Indie Game is the most successfull game of Coffee Stain Studios

I personally love the Game for several reasons. First it made me laugh for hours, you pick it up have some fun and let it be when you aren’t in mood. You dont play it for weeks/months and then again, you start playing and laugh. It has entertained me more than many current AAA-Titles. And thats what I want, I play games for entertainment and fun. In a more and more serious Industry where Graphics are getting more Importance than Gameplay and Fun this is a shining example with what simple Ideas you can create a hit. I have 10+ hours in this Game and laughed about 8+ hours of that.
But Coffee Stain Studios didnt just put out the Game, they gave a lot back to the Community. Adding in Patch 1.1 a second, as big as the first, map + Local Coop and in Patch 1.2 a lot more stuff they keep the fun in the game for free. A gift for the Support, something we haven’t seen from big Publishers in the last years. Even if you find everything in the game (what seems impossible to me without help) there is a huge community working on bringing new Content for the Game by Steam Workshop.
Conclusion: If you could need a good laugh, like Trash-Movies and think bugs can be fun then this game might be good for you. If you additionally don’t need a story or plot then you should definitly try it out. Against many believes that Goat Simulator destroys the Industry (*cough* EA employees *cough*) I think a Game from a company like Coffee Stain Studios which brought us several other great games (Sanctum Series) with such huge Support from the Company and Community is definitly worth a try. Content are worth at least 8+ hour + Steamwork.
Haven’t had that much fun with a game for a long time and for that little money.
