Good ole' fashioned Goat Simulator fun, second best of the DLCs. It's clear that I've kinda outgrown this type of gameplay despite my fond memories of the original - but even still, there's a lot to admire here. For one, I'm impressed with the sheer size of this map, like... holy cow this thing is massive and just packed with stuff to see. The Portal spoof in particular is very amusing, even if some of the other references aren't quite as strong. The neckbeard brony dude stuff in this is hilarious and bold for a game of this nature. And the quests finally feel semi-substantial here! Satisfied, but also glad to be done with these for a while.

Absolute glorious DLC for Goat Simulator.

Goat Simulator feels like one big joke of a game and surely does not take itself seriously. I cannot even imagine how you can come up with this and how you turn a normal everyday animal into a video game. But they did, and it works!

If you take a simple look at the game, it is nothing more than a square sandbox in which you can screw things and people up as a goat. You earn and unlock mutators for even more carnage and madness like flying, spawn goats, build blocks Minecraft style and many, many more. Normally this type of games bore me pretty quick because there is no end goal or clear end to the game. But because the game as one hundred and twenty-four achievements, requiring you to do certain things and interacting with the world and the various secrets and Easter eggs, I automatically got a purpose to play the crap out of this game. It also gave me a full tour throughout all the crazy and hilarious stuff in this godforsaken piece of glitch. Going for the achievements is the way to go to fully explore everything and feeling that what you do matters.

There are four DLC’s available for this game and all four of them are totally worth it.

The third one I played was Goat Simulator: Waste of Space. At one point, our little goat needed to go to space of course, to complete the absurd experience of the main game.

In this DLC, the developers mock the many sci-fi themed games and make the DLC as stereotypical as possible. You run around a space station, annoying people, collect different parts and space salvage and eventually, build your glorious spaceship and go to war with space pirates in outer space.

The parts in space are the only time you can actually "lose" in this game and may have to start the spaceship battle over. It added some new challenge, especially with the god-awful controls, which can be expected from a goat flying a spaceship.

The map in this DLC is massive and, like the other DLC's, there is a ton of stuff to do, explore, and achieve here. It offers a good five hours of extra content, and I had a great time.

I liked this DLC, although I still need to recover to this day from the (intentional) horrendous controls of the spaceship.

Definitely recommend this DLC to everyone.

I'd like to see Goat Simulator 3 do something like this too. It would pretty much just be this, but with a plot.
