I also hate the mental state mechanic and having to use the bathroom I’ve always hated both. Despite the issues however mdickie is a legend and to this day I still play, these games were a big part of my childhood. ### 2/5 — Dum Dum *2026-06-21, version 1.1.6* "Whoever arrests ______ will receive a bonus" **Defendant wins in court** Huh?🤔🤡 ### 3/5 — To many ad remove ads completely *2026-06-20, version 1.1.6* It’s fun when you cause may ham just gotta watch ad as often as u play ### 5/5 — Лучшие *2026-06-04* У вас очень прикольные и интересные игры, можете ли вы сделать игру про футбол? Думаю многие со мной согласятся, было бы очень круто💪 ### 5/5 — THANKS MDICKIE *2026-06-04* GREAT GREAT GREAT GREAT GAME TRY ATLEAST ONE TIME, JUST ONE TIME AND YOU NEVER FORGET THIS GAME ### 4/5 — Improvements *2026-05-30, version 1.1.6* Okay the game is really hard to play if you dont buy vip. Its really hard to level up stats personally before i bought VIP i was playing without it for a week and my stats would just get lower and lower. ### 5/5 — Pls add a side ways hat cap *2026-04-16, version 1.1.6* Add side ways hat ### 5/5 — DOWNLOAD!!! *2026-04-06, version 1.1.6* Amazing game, paid a couple dollars for the full game and it’s so worth it. Such a fun and chaotic game, and it’s really easy to pass a couple hours playing it. My character got pregnant and then her baby daddy broke up with her and she assaulted a cop and got a longer sentence. Then she tripped and died after giving birth. 10/10 ### 3/5 — Tradução em português *2026-04-05* Jogo muito bom! falta apenas a tradução em português. Tks 🤙🏼 ### 4/5 — Wish for better textures *2026-03-29* Great game! Is it possible to improve the textures? Specially the body ones (clothes, hair, faces, the shirtless ones). I would like a hairy fat and a hairy muscle body too. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — ADS ADS *2026-08-05, version 1.1.6* Nothing but ads ### 1/5 — This game is terrible *2026-07-31, version 1.1.6* You get punished for literally everything you do. Wrapping up a conversation, you lose reputation. Can’t find a toilet in 10 seconds, you lose reputation. Random people will fight you for no reason and when you defend yourself, you get arrested. The fighting is terrible in this game, your stats don’t matter because the AI will always just cheese their way out of things. The ads aren’t even the worst part of this game, Don’t waste your time. ### 1/5 — Almost perfect but… *2026-07-29, version 1.1.6* I just want to state that I hope MDickie reads this and takes it as constructive criticism and NOT personally because he has a history of being overly sensitive especially when you consider the types of games he makes (which is ironic) but that’s neither here nor there. This game came so close to being the perfect prison sim/MDickie game but it falls short for multiple reasons that are quite hard to ignore. My number 1 issue is that I purchased the subscription thinking I unlocked perks like editor mode but whenever I max out my character’s stats it had ZERO affect on gameplay, and unlike Wrestling Empire the combat is even worse because my character’s has a 1 in 50 chance of countering an attack. Regardless of my maxed out stats. Whereas in wrestling empire you can get consistent counters. Second major complaint is the excessive dialog. This game is borderline unplayable even with dialog settings turn to minimum. So many annoying pop ups it’s ridiculous. Third major complaint is arrest frequency, I get arrested ever 2 minutes over anything including defending myself?? But the other inmates are simply free to do.what they please. I also think an inmate “combat difficulty” setting needs to be implemented asa. Some characters are just ridiculous to fight and I have no clue why. I had 1 inmate counter every single attack or grab I attempted. Extremely annoying. Overall MDickie is a legend but I find it increasingly difficult to find any enjoyment playing this game in the current state that it’s in. ### 1/5 — нет ру языка *2026-07-26* как будет русский язык будет 5, а так нет ### 1/5 — 👎 *2026-07-04, version 1.1.6* The worst game I’ve played ### 1/5 — No controller compatibility *2026-06-09, version 1.1.6* If you see online that it has controller compatibility if you have the premium version that is a lie. The game feels unplayable at times because of bad camera angles and and movement feels awkward ### 1/5 — Mechanical nightmare *2026-06-08, version 1.1.6* this game is entirely worse than the first one somehow ### 1/5 — Too many ads *2026-06-05* Useless game with too many ads you can't even focus in the game. Don't download this game. ### 1/5 — 30 second unskippable ads *2026-03-26, version 1.1.6* never play this game with wifi turned out or youll get these awful 30 second unskippable ads ### 1/5 — Unplayable nightmare *2026-03-25, version 1.1.6* this game is genuinely one of the worst games i’ve played ever. The fist issue is the camera, none of the angles are viable at all and are impossible to play the game correctly with, so don’t even bother trying to fight because you either cannot see anything, camera is stuck behind a wall, or people sneak up behind you. i’ve tried all camera angles and none work at all. Secondly, the dialogue, i was in a fight and got 4 different pop ups of characters trying to talk to me in which i couldn’t move but the npcs still can so you die alot due to these issues. I could go on and on but this game is terrible. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Control support *2026-08-25, version 1.1.6* From backbone ### 5/5 — W game *2026-08-02, version 1.1.6* I wish I had mods on iOS ngl😭🙏 ### 5/5 — Gas *2026-07-26, version 1.1.6* I float whenever I play this game ### 5/5 — Better updates Please Mr Dickie *2026-07-22, version 1.1.6* I’ve been playing your Games for years and has incredible potential just more frequent updates could take it to that next level please add more an option for Intense Gore Especially for the new jail Hard Time game Along with the new superhero games more gore and add the ABILITY TO BE AN Animal and use teeth ### 5/5 — This Game Needs A Award *2026-07-14, version 1.1.6* This Game Is Better Than Any Game I Downloaded ### 5/5 — Marckevius *2026-07-11, version 1.1.6* Mat dickie Can you update Hard Time III it bend a long time But I’m still playing Hard Time III i check on updates every time for these games and other of your games ### 5/5 — Homelander *2026-06-27, version 1.1.6* It was perfect, perfect, everything down to the last my new detail. ### 5/5 — Never stop making games *2026-06-19* I love all of ur games , the graphics, the stories, the dialogues, the craziness everything ### 5/5 — Hard Time Review III *2026-06-17, version 1.1.6* I’ve been a fan of Mat Dickie games since I was a young lad. And I’ve been always amazed by his creations and I’ll never get bored of them. I don’t get why there are many negative reviews on this new version of the game, it’s really fun and it’s good to pass the time honestly. 5/5 review very good game. ### 5/5 — Request *2026-06-11, version 1.1.6* Add routines like the old versions/the school games. Like being called in for lunch or recess. Or else you’ll be in trouble --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
