Cut the Rope 3

Adorable monsters return in this puzzle adventure

Cut the Rope 3 is the third puzzle game from ZeptoLab UK Limited under the franchise of the same title. This whimsical physics-based game challenges players to navigate the adorable monsters Om Nom and Nibble Nom through exotic locations by solving puzzles and collecting stars to eventually become the Ultimate Explorer. 

The game packs the signature rope-cutting mechanics the franchise is known for along with new features for long-time fans. Between the cute characters, brain-teasing challenges, and sense of adventure, Cut the Rope 3 provides players of all ages plenty of reasons to get tangled up in this whimsical world.

Puzzles that still please

Cut the Rope 3 follows the story of Om Nom and Nibble Nom as they embark on an exploration to discover new species of Nommies. Players can help them by manipulating the environment and solving challenging puzzles using familiar Cut the Rope mechanics as well as new gameplay elements. As players traverse vibrant locations, collecting stars unlocks additional levels for even more brain-teasing fun. 

The game has eye-catching graphics and an immersive world to explore—appealing to puzzle solvers and adventurers of all ages. So, whether you're a puzzle enthusiast or an avid wanderer, this game is all-inclusive. That said, it does come with some downsides. Constant internet connectivity is required to play the game, which can be limiting, contrary to its premise of inclusivity. 

However, this connectivity requirement stems from the game's social features like leaderboards, profiles, and friend lists. For those uninterested in these social elements, disabling connectivity allows for an offline gameplay experience focused solely on the puzzles. This game is under Apple Arcade, which means that you need to have a subscription first in order to play it. Apple Arcade lets you play over 200 games for a recurring monthly fee. 

Embark on a lighthearted adventure

With its whimsical art style, challenging physics-based puzzles, and the continued story of Om Nom and Nibble Nom's adventures, Cut the Rope 3 promises an immersive experience for players of all ages and puzzle-solving expertise. Although connectivity requirements may frustrate some, the game's signature rope-cutting mechanics and new puzzles can provide plenty of entertainment for both solo and social play.
