I hate what this represents. Playing this game makes me feel like my life force is getting sucked of me through my eyes.
I still blame Candy Crush more than anything for ruining the mobile game market, but this stands as the modern result of it. People gave games like Angry Birds and Cut the Rope shit but those were decent games targeted towards a casual audience. They were simple and fun and I think they deserve a spot in the gaming cannon just as much as anything else.
Maybe this game was also fine in a similar way when it came out, but now it feels highly engineered to squeeze out maximum profit make you addicted to it.

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...
Subway surfers is an endless runner all about jake & co running from a police officer on a subway.
I do not have a single clue as to how the police officer is still obese, but he definitely has good stamina. Kudos to him.
Of course, many events happen in this game, like board challenges, marathon runs and more, and some are okay, but some aren't the best, like the timed marathon run.
Overall, it's a great time and a classic endless runner, even nowadays.

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.
