City builders, generals, ants and goats take note: some exciting games await you in the coming days!

The cold season is approaching with giant steps and while many of you are currently still up to your neck in Diablo 4: Vessel of Hatred or Dragon Age: The Veilguard, the next big names are already around the corner.

Excuse me? Stalker 2? Indiana Jones? No, we’re talking about wild goats, city-building ants and garbage-diving goblins. What were you thinking of?

Highlight of the week: Goat Simulator Remastered

  • Developer: Coffee Stain Studios
  • Release date: November 7, 2024
  • Available at: Steam and in the Epic Store

The goat is on the loose, save yourselves if you can! By now, everyone should know what this simulator is about. As the wacky goat Pilgor, you run through expansive areas and wreak havoc on an inconceivable scale.

In this remaster of the first part, you can expect a lot. The graphics have been reworked and now look so good that goats would probably lick the screen. All released DLCs like Goat Z and Goat MMO are already included.

In addition, according to the developers, there are more bugs than seems possible Sounds like fun, doesn’t it? If that doesn’t convince you, then the official game description certainly will:

You can be a goat… again.
No, really, that’s still the main selling point.
