The toughest prison sim in the yard is back to serve its 3rd consecutive sentence - combining classic moments from the OG with the best aspects of 2D, while putting out a few hits of its own! See how long you can survive in a sprawling facility, where hundreds of fellow prisoners are trying to get through each day in real-time. Develop relationships with an advanced dialogue system that allows you to start conversations before the drama comes to you. Should you choose violence, a combat system perfected by wrestling lets you express yourself with your fists! Hundreds of fully interactive props can be equipped in either hand to dual wield as tools or weapons - including mind-blowing gunplay that allows you to shoot at ANY moment. Reinforced by a creative crafting system, you've only ever run out of ammo when you've run out of ideas. Just when you think you've seen it all, a whole other police role challenges you to tackle crime from the other side of the fence - keeping existing prisoners in order while patrolling the streets for new ones! An extended outside world makes life worth living, with a wider range of vehicles and animals to explore it. All now presented with higher resolution visuals, a smoother frame rate, and a wider variety of camera angles to enjoy cinematic moments. Upon upgrading to the fully "unlocked" experience, an inbuilt editor empowers you to save your changes to each character to make the world your own. You can then blow off steam in a special "Fight Scene" mode - where you select WHO fights WHERE and with WHAT! The action can also be enjoyed at a smoother 60fps frame rate on compatible devices, with no ads for paying customers.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Hard Time III at 4.3 against Praise Break's 3.8. Hard Time III also leads on ratings volume (1.2K vs 9). Praise Break's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). On price, review sentiment and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Hard Time III sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $3.99 per year. Praise Break asks for nothing beyond the download.
Hard Time III holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hard Time III has 1.2K ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of Praise Break's written reviews are positive against 72% of Hard Time III's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
