The value story

The lowest price on record is $8.99, set in June 2025. 18 discounts in the 3 years on record. They run about 60 percent off, roughly 6 weeks apart. Past sales have already crossed the $11.10 BANGER line 8 times.

Value puts it in the top 1 percent of the games it competes with. It is pricier than 97 percent of its genre, and the best reviewed. Among the games closest to it, Goat Simulator: Remastered ($29.99, scores 57) and A Webbing Journey ($9.99, scores 70) both come in lower.

Of the 588 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 32 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written February 2024 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 92 percent of the 1,245 reviews written there were positive, against 98 percent overall, and those are 9 percent of everything written about it.

Finishing takes 7.4 hours; clearing it takes 22, which is 3.0 times the campaign.

Valve rates it Steam Deck Verified, and at 7.4 hours it is short enough to finish on one.

What players say

Spent a few hours messing around in Goat Simulator 3 this weekend, and wow this game is just unapologetically stupid in the best way. I didn't come here looking for anything meaningful. I just wanted to run loose as a goat and cause trouble, and that's exactly what you get. Charge into random civilians, crash through shop windows, drag random junk all over town. Half the time I'm just wandering around not chasing...
