While not a bad game, it's just a little disappointing. Sure, the "adventure" element is played up a bit, and true to its heritage you are rewarded with "speed" if you complete levels expeditiously, but that's about it.

It's the same mechanic - right down to the different variations of the missions, the power-ups (bombs, rockets), the 3-star system per board (good, better, best performance), and visual style of the entire game (two family members thought it was Candy Crush at first glance). But there really isn't anything new here. You may like the connection to Temple Run if you've got a nostalgic leaning towards that decade-old brand. Sure, if you're already an Apple Arcade subscriber and enjoy these kinds of games, Temple Run: Puzzle Adventure is worth checking out as you have nothing to lose but time.
