Dumb Ways to Build Reviews
Dumb Ways to Build is a fun little title and a great way to kill time with friends. Chaos will surely ensue, and you'll have plenty of laughs along the way, but solo players will be left in the dark. It is easy to recommend to those who have others to play with, but everyone else might want to pass on this one.
Dumb Ways to Build takes everything that makes the franchise so lovable and turns it into a genuinely entertaining co-op experience. The colourful visuals, ridiculous physics, proximity chat and simple building mechanics work together to create plenty of hilarious and also frustrating moments. Positioning objects can feel a little touchy, but it doesn’t take away from the overall fun experience. If you have a couple of mates that you can embrace the chaos with, I highly recommend trying this game out.
Insofar as you can design for chaos, Dumb Ways to Build has distilled it. The absurdity of the “Dumb Ways to Die” songs captured my son’s attention, and now, having been on the receiving end of that absurdity in video game form, it finally won mine, too.
