Introduction to Goat Simulator
For the uninitiated, Goat Simulator is a wildly popular and purposefully chaotic physics-based game where players control a goat unleashed in various environments. First released on PC in 2014, the franchise has expanded to consoles and now finally to mobile devices with Goat Simulator 3.
The games revolve around controlling a goat as it headbutts objects, ragdolls humans, licks things with its cartoonishly long tongue, and causes utter mayhem however it can. There are loose objectives, but mostly it is an open playground focused on creativity and humor as you wreck havoc with your goat.
Key Features of Goat Simulator 3
Goat Simulator 3 builds on the franchise's core with a huge technical and content upgrade. Some of the key features include:
Massive Open World
Unlike previous entries primarily set within buildings or confined spaces, Goat Simulator 3 features a massive open world island for exploration filled with diverse environments like forests, beaches, snowy mountains, and more. This vastly increases the potential for chaotic interactions.
Customizable Goats
For the first time, players can deeply customize their goat with costumes, accessories, materials, colors, and more. This lets you make the ultimate meme-worthy goat that fits your personality.
Wide Range of Activities
Yes, you can still lick cars to death and headbutt humans off buildings. But Goat Simulator 3 expands activities to also include quests, collectables, platforming challenges, disguises for stealth, goat parkour, and more.
Improved Graphics and Physics
While still maintaining the franchise's silly ragdoll charm, Goat Simulator 3 also provides a nice graphical polish making the world much more beautiful to wreck. And the physics have been overhauled for even better chaotic interactions.
