PlayStation 5 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.
