Comment on Why are we not getting stress relief games where we take our stresses out on normal people?

When I first heard about the first game, I was like no fucking way that can be fun but after reading reviews, I bought it as a game I could play with my son, and we love it. (He’s a jerk to me on it tho)

Yeah, it is a really good looking and really thoughtfully made game. If you have been a gamer for decades there are tons of references and jokes you will appreciate. I appreciate the Sweden references too. I’m an American but I’ve gotten to visit the real-world equivalent of Goatenburg.
It is really good to play with a group that includes non-gamers or kids, because you can’t really die but you can use overpowered abilities and items on each other and NPCs. It is damn funny.

Absolutely, there are references to IKEA, IT, fallout, evil Knievel, etc. it’s way more clever than I initially gave it credit for. When I first heard about it I thought it was like just running around on cliffs and eating grass. I had no idea you could be a total asshole in it and I love that about it.

Yeah, and you start AND end the game riding with other goats through the farm on a replica of the Skyrim prisoner cart from the meme.

It’s a very solid game that more people need to try. Especially as cheap as it is now.
