15 Video Games You Wrongly Assume Are Terrible
14. Goat Simulator
The Game: This one really speaks for itself: you play a goat who is tasked with causing as much wanton destruction as possible. There's not much else to it.
Why You Assume It's Terrible: Anyone who's taken a quick glance at Goat Simulator will probably assume it's another piece of indie shovelware trash dumped on Steam to try and make a quick buck off its name above all else. People can't really be faulted on that assumption, to be honest, because the game kinda revels in its own perceived awfulness.
Why You're Wrong: Irony can only take a game so far, and while there is something perversely entertaining about playing "so-bad-it's-good" games, Goat Simulator is also a genuinely entertaining title in its own right.
Sure, the graphics are just OK and the physics are utterly disastrous, but personality goes a long way, and this is one charming game. Even with its absurdly janky gameplay mechanics, Goat Simulator is an absolute blast even when you strip away the social media buffoonery and just revel in its sandbox mayhem. Once you fling the goat onto a trampoline, you'll never look back.
