Amidst therise of simulation titlesover the years,Goat Simulatorhas iconically stood out from the crowd, as Coffee Stain Studios' absurdly crazy game ignores the formality of controlling a human’s life, but rather a simple goat’s. Free to explore the vast environment,Goat Simulatorgrants unlimited independence to run rampant as the dimwitted Pilgor, from flying around in a jetpack to shooting baseballs at innocent civilians, blowing up a gas station to even performing a demonic ritual, the freedom is truly limitless. While many fans see this title offering incessant hours of fun, trophy hunters see a painlessly glimmering Platinum award up for grabs.
Despite the relaxed approach to the title’s objectives, some trophies can be a tiresome duty to accomplish, such as ‘Around The World In Five Jumps’, commanding the player to visit five trampolines in one jump. Additionally,Goat Simulator’s peculiar cast ofNPCs (Non-Playable Character)are rather hostile and downright idiotic, posing a rather frustrating obstacle to maneuver around. Nonetheless, this wacky title’s Platinum journey can be completed in roughly ten hours, ultimately granting fans ‘The Flapmaster’ achievement, and solidifying this as a must-have for hunters alike.
