It was fun as a kid but I don't really see much reason I'd play it now.
Especially since there's been so much added content that doesn't actually change the game in any way. There's like seasons with cosmetics and new game modes and daily challenges and missions and... does anyone care? The whole reason this game was appealing back in the day was because it was simple. Just run as far as you can. This game is trying to be Fortnite or Brawl Stars or something. The core gameplay loop does not have enough depth to warrant any of this.

Okay so like I got no.2 on the hungarian 2024 week 19 leaderboards after playing for only one day since like 8 years ago, does that count as beating the game? Anyways it sucks lol, it's designed in a nasty way that takes advantage of short attention spans and locks you in a feedback loop of hundreds of mini achievements you can achieve under one run, gets you addicted slowly and manipulates you into spending money on it, while also pushing ads in your face and rewarding you insanely heavily for watching them. Yes I just unironically wrote a review about Subway Surfers...
