Fun, but not the same and crashes a lot – Dumb Ways To Die 3: World Tour Review

So I used to play the first 2 Dumb Ways To Die games when I was younger. I really enjoyed those games. They were basically like Wario Ware except... BEANS. And also dying. So much dying. When I found out there was a 3rd game after YEARS, I was really excited! It had new mini games, a new sort of hub like in the second game, and even 3D graphics! I swiftly downloaded the game and it’s... really good actually! The mini games are fun, (even though they copy ideas from other mobile games and there’s only 7) the hub is unique, you can get characters, and more! There are 2 problems though. 1. Don’t get me wrong, this still feels like a Dumb Ways game, but, it’s just not the same. The first 2 games had this charm in the absurdity of the way the characters die and the outcomes of if you win or lose, especially in the 2nd game, (which is part of the reason why it is my favorite in the series) but that’s kinda lost here. It almost, almost, feels like every other mobile game out there. It seems kinda bland compared to the previous games. 2. This is a much bigger issue and I don’t know if it affects anyone else but, the game crashes way more than in needs to. It might seem like I’m exaggerating, but EVERY SINGLE TIME I try to play another mini game after playing a different one or even sometimes when I try to play a mini game period, it kicks me out of the app! That really gets on your nerves after having to wait for the title screen and the hub and the mini game selection just to play a mini game for like 10 seconds before it crashes on you! I don’t know if my iPhone 6 just isn’t powerful enough to handle this game or what, but it’s frustrating nonetheless. In conclusion, this is a pretty good game, especially for mobile game standards, but these 2 issues hold it back, especially the 2nd one. I would still recommend it if you 1. Like Dumb Ways a lot. (like me) 2. Can ignore the lack of charm. 3. Have a powerful enough phone.
