Pro Survival mode for hardcore goaterz
Goat Simulator GoatZ features a survival mode where the player needs to eat within every five minutes of the game.

Cons
Con Graphics dont always look good
At a lot of times the graphics look really bad and ruins the feel of the game.
Con Not for all audiences
Some people will take one look at this game and wonder what's wrong with kids these days. It certainly isn't for everybody.
Con Cloud saves not through Google services
An extra account will need to be used in order to take advantage of the cloud saving as it does not work with Googles solution to cloud saves. While this does allow for the cloud saves to work cross platform, people may not want to take the extra step to make a new account with Butterscotch Shenanigans.
