The humor in the game is polarizing; while some players appreciate the quirky bugs and chaotic gameplay as amusing, others find the attempts at humor to be poor and unengaging. Many reviews highlight that the game suffers from game-breaking bugs that detract from the overall experience, overshadowing any comedic elements. Overall, the humor seems to resonate with a niche audience, but fails to deliver a consistent comedic experience for the majority.
- “Goat Simulator had fun, novel, and funny bugs that didn't negatively affect the gameplay.”
- “Very funny game!”
- “The ragdoll physics are really nice, and the game is just an open world sandbox with a whole lot of crazy stuff going on; it fits my sense of humor.”
- “In short, the game is not fun, not novel, and not funny.”
- “Game-breaking bugs: while bugs are a part of the game, there are some that make you relaunch the game (which feels like quite a slow process). The menu icons not disappearing, physics bugging so that you can't walk, and being forced into ragdoll mode all the time, along with dummies getting stuck in buildings and the ground, are so bad you can't move... those bugs are not funny.”
