Introduction

Goat Simulator: Remastered has arrived on PS5 to remind us that sometimes all you need to have a good time is a goat, some physics, and an open-world setting where you can quite literally cause mayhem. In this delightful pile of fun, you're tasked with causing as much ruckus as possible while assuming the role of our four-legged friend, Pilgor the goat. Welcome back to a world where the biggest dilemma you will face is whether to lick a car or head-butt an unsuspecting pedestrian. Let’s dive into the chaotic farmyard madness!

Gameplay

The gameplay is as gloriously chaotic as you'd expect, letting you roam around a suburban paradise, wreaking havoc wherever you please. As Pilgor the goat, you're free to run, jump, lick (yup, lick), and perform tricks that would get any Olympic athlete a gold medal in creativity. Want to launch yourself through the air using a fan? Go right ahead. Feel like dragging a lawnmower around just for fun? Be my guest! Your goat will rack up points by performing tricks, similar to skateboarding games, and if you've ever wanted to chain goat moves together for combos, this game has you covered. The hidden golden goat statues scattered throughout the map encourage exploration, and they unlock mutators - because what’s more fun than a goat with a jetpack? Now, the game’s bugs and glitches, which were initially annoying in traditional games, are celebrated here. Deliberately left in place, these glitches add to the hilarious, absurd nature of gameplay. Watching Pilgor’s head twist in 360 degrees as it gets hit by a bus will either make you laugh or question your life choices – possibly both.

Graphics

Okay, let’s get down to the nitty-gritty of goat graphics. With the Remastered version on PS5, Coffee Stain Studios put in some serious effort to polish up the visuals. The environments look crisp and vibrant, and the textures have been upgraded, making this a feast for the eyes (at least where those eyes can tolerate the sight of a goat). But remind yourself, this isn’t a AAA title expecting cinematic graphics; it’s a game focused on buffoonery rather than realism. Picture this: colorful maps filled with chaos, with animated effects popping off the screen as you headbutt unsuspecting villagers out of their boots. If you can handle the goat madness, you’re in for a treat!

Conclusion

So is Goat Simulator: Remastered a must-have for your PS5 collection? You bet your goat it is! With its mix of mindless fun, absurd glitches, and the joy of bestowing chaos upon an unsuspecting world, it’s a delightful experience for those wanting to let loose some well-deserved laughter. Just remember, this isn’t meant to be the next deep narrative-driven title; instead, it's about fun, stupidity, and going absolutely bonkers, one headbutt at a time. Grab your controller: it’s time to take Pilgor on a wild ride, and who knows? You might just find yourself reminiscing about that one time a goat managed to ruin a perfectly good dinner party.
