    Legit surprised by this game. I liked the original Goat Simulator. It was dumb fun, cool references, but also got old pretty quickly, was full of glitches, performance wasn't great either.
    Goat Simulator 3 improved on every area. it runs better than the predecessor, it's less glitchy (though it still has some physics related issues), and most importantly, it's much more fun in long term.

    Goat Simulator 3 improved on every area. it runs better than the predecessor, it's less glitchy (though it still has some physics related issues), and most importantly, it's much more fun in long term. The original game kinda relied of it's jankiness, bad physics, this game actually has lots of content, a nice, relatively big open world, lots of exploration, silly stuffs, quests, progression, actual goals.
    They fixed the "gets boring quickly" issues, the goat customization is fun and some of the stuffs you can unlock are actually useful, gives you abilities. NPCs react to your wrong doing, some actually vengefully kick your butt. You can now drive cars, ride bikes (good luck with that!), unlock stuffs in your wonderful Goat Castle. The same silliness from the first games presents, but they made it even better. The quests are silly, some of them are annoying and boring, most of them are interesting and fun and you can do whatever you want if you don't wanna mess with a specific quest, you won't lose progress, you don't need to abort it.

    Controls are perfect, responsive, you goat can now wall run, climb, do the Mario 64 style multi-jump, where your 3rd jump is extra high. You can get temporary powers too.

    Sound design is decent, music is similar to the original game. It does its job

    Visuals! Well, it's pretty good! The map is large with nice view distance. Yes, there is pop-in many times, but not that distracting. Performance is surprisingly better than the previous game while it's much bigger in every aspect. Barely any stutters, stable framerates even on my old RX 570. I can run it on highest settings at 1080p with mostly 60 fps.

    As silly and dumb the game is, Coffee Stained North definitely spent a lot of time and talent on this one, it's better than the first game in every aspect. Since it's more polished (not perfect!) than the original, I can't wait to see DLCs with different themes. Waste of Space was fun for the first game even if it was a broken mess, something like that (with better performance and stability) would be a nice addition in the future.

    If you like Goat Simulator 1, you'll love this game.    … Expand

    Начну с того, что пересмотрел перед сиквелом первую часть и не "разглядел" в игре ничего примечательного, не понимаю хайпа вокруг неё, просто индюшка с хорошей разрушаемостью и глючной и не глючной физикой, даже полноценной игрой это назвать было сложно, хотя DLC к ней уже были поинтереснее, так как пытались пародировать популярные жанры игр, в этом было больше смысла.

В общем, я не советую оригинальную часть,
    Но вот сиквел уже можно порекомендовать, ну.. для очень специфичной аудитории. Это тот же самый симулятор козла.. только нормально оформленный, теперь у нас графика и физика Unreal engine, приятный визуал/интерфейс, более интересная локация города в горах, за задания дают новые шмотки для кастомизации козла, есть активности для мультиплеера, хотя и очень примитивные, и можно ездить на машинах) Причём даже управление нормальное. Оптимизация более менее. И вот..теперь я не могу сказать, что это прям плохая и бессмысленная игра, но и прям обязательно играть в это тоже не надо.. Мне больше понравилась игра 2021 года от некоторых разработчиков Goat Simulator в том же жанре песочницы или "развлеки себя сам" - "Just Die Already" , там был интересный город, хоть немножко живой, мультяшненький визуал, интересные секретки, хоть какая-то цель, которую можно было назвать финалом игры, сама концепция - когда ты играешь хрупким дедушкой и можешь "расчлениться" на кусочки от любого удара/касания - действительно создавала уникальный "песочный" экспериенс, причём это ещё и какой-то хардкор тебе давало.
    А вот запрыгивать на какие-нибудь высотки в "Козле", ради секретов, наоборот бесит, легче просто бегать и закликивать своими рогами всё вокруг в щепки, но это быстро надоест. Интересных пасхалок, кроме простого коверкания известных названий я тоже не успел встретить. Сама игра пытается пародировать игры в открытом мире, но по сути ей же и является, от того, что вы называете фарм бесполезным - он от этого не перестаёт быть фармом) Лучше бы игра более серьёзно ушла в какую-то конкретную "пародию", как это было в dlc к оригиналу, ну или хотя-бы.. Добавили бы больше реакции людям). Ещё добавили полноценные задания, типо помочь кому-то или сделать что-то, но по геймплею это всё тоже максимально примитивно реализовано.

    On the whole, "Goat Simulator 3" has turned out really well. It's fun to move through the new areas and just have fun. The missions have also become varied and wacky. In addition, the controls and the co-op mode have become really good and easy. In addition, good graphics and great animations can be seen. However, there are still some bugs and errors to be found in the game. If you want toOn the whole, "Goat Simulator 3" has turned out really well.

    Devs said to people that wanted to play their game using a controller they need to launch the game through Steam, their game is an epig exclusive yet they recommend to people to launch their game using steam, this is every thing that you need to know about this "game".

    Better than the original.
    Best UI of 2022, easy to learn controls, and great optimization.

    I've been playing Goat Simulator 3 for 10 hours now, and I'm still finding new things and cool easter eggs that make me smile. This is everything that was good about the original, but taken to the next level. It runs like butter and looks great. Definitely recommend!

    Great game to play split screen with those annoying kids that come visit out of nowhere

    If you have access to a Steam Deck, especially an OLED model, Goat Simulator 3 is an easy recommendation. With how good it is here, I don’t need the Xbox or mobile versions anymore, and will be dipping into the game often to play on Steam Deck. Goat Simulator 3 on Steam Deck is not only my favorite portable version, but my favorite version of the game in general. It has a few issues like prior entries in the series, but is still worth your time regardless of if you are a fan of the series or a newcomer.

    Goat Simulator 3 is a more extensive and technically polished but also less charming version of its predecessor. It’s perfect for co-op or brief relaxation, so the ideal course of action would be to buy it discounted and play it in short sessions.

    The crazy goat simulation, which was more of an April Fool's joke, caught on very well and the second part, or the third, is already here. It offers unfettered fun, but also bugs.
