Goat Simulator 3 Critic Reviews

Goat Simulator 3 is the sequel you would expect with mostly more of the same. Hilarious gameplay, fun references and an entertaining single player make this a game definitely worth a try. Technically, however, it's not perfect and could have been a little better, but don't let that stop you from getting started with the goat!

This one game about an entitled goat does everything I wish the original Goat Simulator did and more. The goatfits, the whimsical joy of discovering a level like the Cellar of Doom, and witnessing just how much disarray one uncontrollable goat can cause will make Goat Simulator 3 one of the best co-op games to sit back and reset with. Watch this space, because me and Pilgor are quite the unstoppable duo – and this won’t be the last you see of us.

Goat Simulator 3 does everything it is supposed to do, much better than the original. The missions give a nice progression to the adventure, and the cooperative multiplayer increases the fun you can get out of the game.

Goat Simulator 3 not only recaptures the crazy fun of the original, but it expands and improves on everything that came before, resulting in a big, stupid sandbox experience that made me smile from start to finish.

When all is said and done, Goat Simulator 3 is a solid playground to have fun in and just be the worst goat possible. There’s tons of items to find, toys to unwrap and secrets to find. It’s a well-made silly thing to follow up a joke that went too far. Even after the credits roll, it’ll still be fun to try out new ideas to see what will work and what else is hidden. Even as I am writing this, I’ve thought of a couple of things that I’m going to want to do just to see if anything happens. Based on the rest of the game, the answer is probably yes. That alone shows that the spirit of the original has been captured while still being a more complete experience. Even the bugs, and admittedly crusty references, can be ignored when there is just so much fun to be had.

Cunningly exploiting its own limitations among which the technical ones stand out, Goat Simulator 3 is perfect for single player or even better in co-op fooling around, has a lot of crazy customizations and proves that the devs have truly given their best - or the worst, it depends on the point of view - of themselves.

Goat Simulator 3 is ridiculous, but it's so much fun that it's hard to not recommend, thanks to crazy missions and enjoyable gameplay.

The team at Coffee Stain know exactly what the title is and how it should be played, cranking up the insanity for an outrageous time and optimum enjoyability. Goat Simulator 3 is pure absurdity, nothing more, nothing less.

Goat Simulator 3 is an ode to unbridled fun, a jumble of easter eggs, absurd and "deliberate idiocy", capable of giving healthy entertainment to all those who choose to play the sheep once again. Thanks to simple but fun multiplayer activities and a pool of weapons and cosmetic items to be collected, clearly to wreak havoc on the town at the center of the experience, the game of Coffee Stain knows how to give smiles and surprise, with its repetitive missions but guess what and the catastrophic consequences of the actions of this bleating goat and a little Dragonborn.

Goat Simulator 3 is what you’d expect from a modern sequel. It’s bigger, more content-rich, and is largely an improvement over its predecessor from a visual perspective. But getting even deeper, it’s a reminder of simpler times, when just running around and making your own fun used to be more the du jour.

In short, if you enjoyed the original and want to take that to larger proportions, it is clear that you are going to like it, however simple its humor is and also its graphical performance. It is totally a satire made into a video game, and if we are honest, it fulfills its function of entertaining. It's not a GOTY at all, and I don't think it wants to be.

The open-world sandbox is so beautifully absurd, so funny, so broken that you just can't help but love this heap of dung that has become a game.

Goat Simulator 3 is exactly what you expect from a game dedicated to celebrating parodies, exploring the weirdness of game physics, and running around the world as a “chaotic good” or “chaotic evil” goat. It can be a lot of fun! Sometimes, it can break! I still see pop-in issues after the day one patch and find myself getting stuck. Still, even when it isn’t perfect, it’s a good time. It manages to be irreverent, but simultaneously irrelevant and relevant.

Goat Simulator 3 isn’t exactly ripping up the thin rule book its predecessor scribbled out, but it recaptures the stupid anarchic joy and amplifies its influence across a bigger, better game world.

It's not a deep or wide as some might want, as some of the missions (and gags) do wear thin, but it's still fun queuing up and just messing around in it. There's a sense that there are even more wild combinations to assert your power (or jump around as a shark on a skateboard), and the ability to even do that and scratch that itch in such a way is definitely worth checking out. 

Goat Simulator 3 nails the ridiculousness in a bigger, more intuitive way. The humour hits in every corner of the huge open world you’ll be exploring, culminating in hours of fun. The controls not feeling as modern as its peers, alongside small performance issues dampen the overall package, but if you’re looking for something truly off the wall and friendly for all ages, this game is one to check out.

Despite the larger world and more tasks, the playground for explosive silliness only motivates in the short term. It gets more fun in co-op with up to four participants, but only with friends or online mistakes.

Goat Simulator 3 is an entertaining title that constantly gives you new things to do. Despite its simplicity, it grants you many fun moments you can enjoy with someone else. Unfortunately, its technical section affects the experience quite a bit.

As funny as the first episode, even more, Goat Simulator 3 improves the initial concept thanks to a larger open world and somes real nice side quests. Spending a few hours discovering all the secrets (and the easter eggs from the pop culture) of this sandbox is therefore pleasant and often very funny. But the game still has its limits and its concept of joke is still sold between 30 and 40 euros.

Goat Simulator 3 is full of unfunny jokes, several once-funny exaggerations, and pretty obvious references. Underneath all this mess, we have an interesting gameplay. But still, Goat Simulator 3 is basically an open world game made entirely of bad sidequests.
