Tongues of Fun – Goat Simulator PS4 Review

<p>At this point&comma; it feels as if there’s hardly anything left to say about<em> Goat Simulator<&sol;em>&period; If you’ve heard of it&comma; you probably already found a way to either play the game or actively ignore it depending on whether or not your interest was piqued&period; The game first released on PC&period; It then eventually made its way to mobile&comma; Xbox systems&comma; and finally&comma; PlayStation systems&period; Suffice to say&comma; if you have any sort of media device then you can probably play this game if you want&period; Whether or not you would want to&comma; however&comma; depends entirely on your desire and tolerance for intended stupidity and hilarious glitches&period; For better or worse&comma; I have a love of both of these things&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>For the uninitiated&comma; <em>Goat Simulator<&sol;em> is based on a third-person quasi open world&period; Set in a suburban environment&comma; you play as a goat who causes as much destruction as it can&period; For every explosion you cause&comma; for every human you send careening across the map&comma; for every house you destroy&comma; your score multiplies exponentially&comma; and it frankly never stops being fun or hilarious&period; The physics of the game are intentionally glitched&comma; and this works to the game’s strength&period; Nothing quite lands or falls with any kind of consistency and this makes the world a treat to continue to bash your way through since every interaction winds up a little different no matter how many times you return to it&period; Those morons having a barbecue behind their house have felt my goat wrath multiple times and it was just as entertaining to crash their party the fifth time as it was the first time&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<figure id&equals;"attachment&lowbar;89446" aria-describedby&equals;"caption-attachment-89446" style&equals;"width&colon;

but it is much more detailed and full of cool things to find than this kind of game would lead you to believe it would be&period; Unlockables are also a big draw as you can outfit your goat in several hilarious costumes&comma; as well as completely change your goat into another animal such as a penguin or a giraffe&period; It’s ridiculous stuff&comma; but it is consistently hilarious and fun to play&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<figure id&equals;"attachment&lowbar;89447" aria-describedby&equals;"caption-attachment-89447" style&equals;"width&colon;
