Not as good as the second one. – Pocket Mine 3 Review

It just feels like a lazy repackaging of Pocket Mine 2 (for the most part the same textures are used, sometimes where unnecessary (beach anchors and starfish in a desert area?)) with some odd mechanic choices made. The enemies, while interesting, often feel finicky to have to deal with. They try to make up for a much smaller variety in ore types by upping how many pick hits each block takes to mine and by setting a depth limit of 200m on areas you’ve already completed. Characters are now randomized, which is just a smidge frustrating. Pickaxes are now gear, which can only be upgraded to a certain point, as opposed to the indefinite upgrading featured in previous games. Overall, it’s just not as enjoyable of an experience as the previous entry.
