Rock of Ages 3: Make & Break Reviews
Ultimately, Rock of Ages 3 is an additional serving of the series in a party-sized bag.
If you're looking for something different, this is worth a try -- just don't expect to be building masterpieces.
Make & Break is at its best when injecting variety into the campaign, not only mixing up the environments but the game modes.
The foundation and core principles are what make Rock of Ages 3 enjoyable, not the desperate and shallow new modes.
Rock of Ages 3: Make and Break is not a bad game by any stretch, but what was once a promising, unique idea is itself beginning to feel somewhat rote. The game looks great and runs very well, and playing it is absolutely a fine experience, I just never really felt the pull to keep going and had to dig to find the fun in all of it. It may just be series fatigue, and the fact that I played Rock of Ages 2 a little over a year ago, but for all that Rock of Ages 3 adds to its own pantheon of tricks, it doesn’t quite go far enough for me to eagerly recommend it, which is a shame because it may be the most robust offering in the series yet. There’s definitely joy to be found here, but only for the right person who either really loves Rock of Ages, or somebody who’s been waiting for just the right time to jump in.
Nihil novi sub sole is a perfect summary of Rock of Ages 3. Make & Break had a chance to become an ultimate Rock of Ages game with its map creator, but the lack of any major changes, a rather boring protagonist, and a terrible Switch version made this experience a quite boring and often even a frustrating one.

Rock of Ages 3 failed to impress us on almost any level. It's definitely a game with character, and it could feasibly work its charms on you, but in its drive to be different and unusual it seems to have neglected to be fun. Still, it certainly has an audience; broadly speaking, you don't get to a second sequel without your game mattering to someone. If you can muscle through the frustrations, you might be able to roll with Rock of Ages 3, but with so many other worthy titles on Switch, we can't say we'd recommend it.
Rock of Ages 3: Make & Break is a game that give us what it promises, an arcade game to have fun squashing things. It's a bit repetitive and if you have already played the previous games just the desire to see the crazy things that the creators have created in this game, will be enough.

Rock of Ages 3 doesn’t break new ground nor reinvent itself as it suffers from some of its previous shortcomings like its repeatability. But this can be alleviated by its multiplayer mode and user-created tracks or your own routes. This is the best title for new players interested in this franchise and there isn’t anything like it on the market.
