The humor in the game receives mixed reviews, with some players finding it entertaining due to its quirky bugs and ragdoll physics, while others criticize it for poor attempts at comedy and game-breaking glitches that detract from the experience. Overall, the humor seems to resonate with a specific audience, but many feel it falls flat and lacks novelty.
- “Goat Simulator had fun, novel & funny bugs that didn't negatively affect the gameplay.”
- “Very funny game!”
- “The gameplay is pretty smooth with my specs (GPU GTX 680ti, CPU 3770k, DDR3 16 RAM). On average, on high settings, I get 50+ FPS. 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 a quite a slow process): the menu icons not disappearing, physics bugging so that you can't walk and thus are forced to be on ragdoll all the time, dummy getting stuck into buildings, ground, etc. so bad you can't move... those bugs are not funny.”
