Description

A lighthearted game with an emphasis on silly fun, Goat Simulator Waste of Space parodies big AAA space opera games of the 2010s like Mass Effect. Headbutt your way to all sorts of chaos and revel in the destruction left in your wake!

Somewhere between a parody and a pointed statement, Goat Simulator is a game that’s about causing chaos. In Goat Simulator Waste of Space, you play as a goat in space. You can explore a space station, pilot spaceships, or flop about in the vast empty nothingness of space itself. While you’ve got some loose gameplay goals and objectives you can work towards, the bulk of your time playing Goat Simulator will be spent ramming yourself into objects and people, dragging things to inappropriate places with your tongue, and destroying the environment in creative ways.

Rather than pursuing excellence, the series presents a barebones set of “good enough” gameplay tools and lets the player enjoy their lackluster implementation. Goat Simulator games recycle the same animations for all sorts of things. As an example, you go up ladders by spinning your head in small circles while your goat feet stand on an invisible elevator. Unlike other games where this is a problem, however, Goat Simulator leans into its low-budget presentation. The game is all about having fun and causing silly havoc. You’re a goat, in space. It doesn’t need to look good or make sense.

Ostensibly, your goal is to earn money for a space station. Earning money unlocks new areas, which is good. Unlike other games, however, the things you do to earn money in Goat Simulator are the sort of fun things you do while you’re exploring anyway. You get money by ramming into people, blowing stuff up, and putting things in places they shouldn’t go. This means that the objective serves as a way to gently nudge you into messing around and being a cranky, destructive goat. It’s not something you’re going to worry about; it’s just something you’ll do naturally.

The downside here is that Goat Simulator Waste of Space isn’t free. Luckily, you get what you pay for. As much as the low quality of the game adds to its charm, it’s still a cohesive, well-designed package that provides deliberate fun through its obtuse mechanics and zany physics. It’s not a low-budget serious game that just happens to be terrible. It’s also a port of a release for PCs and consoles from a simpler time, meaning that the in-game purchases aren’t going to be shoved in your face. You’ll get lots of content for your initial purchase.

Overall, Goat Simulator Waste of Space is the king of its niche. It’s a silly game that lampoons the game design choices of the 2010s and lets you enjoy the absurdity of putting a goat into all sorts of ridiculous situations. Between hoverbikes, spaceships, segways, and your goat spacesuit, you’ve got plenty of ways to explore space and cause lots of destruction.

How to play

The basic gameplay loop of Goat Simulator Waste of Space is simple. Unlock a new area, enter it, headbutt a bunch of stuff to earn some money, and use that money to unlock the next area. As long as you’ve got an appetite for destruction, you’ll find that you rapidly progress through the game.

A lot of the fun of Goat Simulator will come from the game’s clunky mechanics and odd controls. If you’re having trouble driving a vehicle without tipping over, getting objects to move without blowing up, or talking to someone without headbutting them, don’t worry. You’re a goat. Your goal here is not to act like a civilized human. Your goal is to headbutt things, crash vehicles, and make everyone in space unhappy.

If you’re in need of money, try causing some large-scale mayhem with things like the particle accelerator, the radio antennae, or the vehicles you can drive. Alternatively, you can use the 3D printer to duplicate a bunch of people and headbutt them, earning money rapidly. While you do need some cash to progress through the game, as long as you’re headbutting things as you explore you should be able to hit your basic goals without any extra work. The techniques listed here are mostly for challenges and achievements.

There are a number of mini-quests and easter eggs in Goat Simulator Waste of Space. Just like getting money, however, it’s likely that you’ll do most of these by accident. Early objectives include interacting with a bicycle, getting hit by a car, and licking and dragging five people into a sacrificial pentagram. As long as you keep curiously exploring, you should be able to figure out most of these interactions without too much trouble. Be wary of unintended consequences, however, as you may very well blow up the earth.

Goat Simulator Waste of Space parodies games like Mass Effect, the Star Wars series, and “realistic” spaceship games like X3 or Star Citizen. Scenarios, characters, and even UI elements often seem like they’ve been ripped from other games, albeit with big Goat Simulator-style twists. You can choose between dialogue colors a la Mass Effect, for example, but all of your dialogue options are “baaaa.” Similarly, your complex spaceship controls must be actuated by you controlling your goat limbs. This means that it’s incredibly hard to do things on purpose, but you don’t care. You’re a goat.

In many ways, Goat Simulator Waste of Space is an improvement over mass-produced modern mobile games. This isn’t an inexpensive free-to-play game from an unknown developer that’s “so bad it’s good.” This is a game that’s deliberately designed from the ground up with mischief and mayhem in mind. Its lack of fidelity might be part of its charm, but it’s also an intentional design decision. This means that if you’re looking for a game that lets you revel in absurdity, Goat Simulator will be right up your alley – and probably one of your better choices.
