We don’t know whether you loved or hated the original Goat Simulator. We do know that it was a game that completely split opinions; some loved the madness, others hated the randomness. All that can be put to one side for now though as Goat Simulator 3 looks to up the ante – things are about to get weirder and even crazier than before.
Goat Simulator 3, and no, there’s not been a Goat Simulator 2, is the latest from Coffee Stain. Following on from the acclaim and disdain that the original game received, in Goat Simulator 3 we discover that Pilgor is back. Take that whichever way you want.
Priced at £27.23 for the Standard Edition from the Xbox Store, playable on Xbox Series X|S (fully optimised), Goat Simulator 3 takes us players into a all-new, fully-realistic, sandbox farmyard, one that will allow us to do what the god damn hell we like.
Utter mayhem awaits as you lick, headbutt and totally ruin anything and everything you can get your hooves on, as you play through the life of a goat once more. There are no rules in Goat Simulator 3 and there need be no rules – this is about as open as you are likely to get. At least in a game that lets you play as a goat.
Whether you go it alone or make the most of Goat Simulator 3’s multiplayer aspects (up to four goats can cause mayhem together if required), little matters. See, Goat Simulator 3 is a stupid game – but it’s that stupidness which makes it so endearing to a host of players. But yes, it’s that same stupid that will make others run a mile.
The question is, will you be a goat in Goat Simulator 3? Or are you still trying to get over the pain of what happened last time out? Let us know in the comments as your download of Goat Simulator 3 works its way into your life.
Key game features include:
- – You can be a goat – Three of your friends can be goats too, and join you in local or online co-op
- – No really, there are so many goats. If you want to be fancy you can wear the skins of tall goats, stripey goats, and many more. There’s a goat for everyone!
- – Or dress up your goat in all kinds of nonsense, from toilet rolls to tea trays. Put on a jetpack for all we care
- – This time we actually hired ‘game designers’ and we’re told they’ve added ‘an ok amount of content’; events, NPCs to mess with, physics, status effects, collectables, easter eggs, lies, betrayal, heartbreak
- – They’ve added mini-games too, lots of mini-games (seven is a lot, right?)
- – Who said anything about a musical?
- – You can be Keanu Ree… (jk, wanted to check you were still reading)
- – But you can be a goldfish (true story)
You’ll find a full review coming from us very soon. In the meantime, grab the download you need from the Xbox Store for Xbox Series X|S. Goat Simulator 3 is also playable on PS5 and PC. We’re afraid you’re out of luck if you’re running older PS4 or Xbox One systems.
Goat Simulator 3 also comes in the Digital Downgrade Edition for £36.74. This adds in some remastered content from the original game’s DLC plus a couple of neat additions too.
Game Description:
Pilgor’s baaack! Gather your herd and venture forth into Goat Simulator 3; an all-new, totally realistic, sandbox farmyard experience that puts you back in the hooves of no one’s favourite female protagonist. That’s right – we’re doing this again. The baa has been raised, and Pilgor is joined by other goats too. You can invite up to three friends in local or online co-op, create carnage as a team, or compete in mini-games and then not be friends anymore. Get ready for another round of udder mayhem. Lick, headbutt, and ruin your way through a brand new open world in the biggest waste of your time since Goat Simulator! We won’t tell you how to play (except in the tutorial), but merely provide the means to be the goats of your dreams.
So you can’t play it on a regular Xbox one?
