Subway Surfers City 9+

I really enjoy this game and like the character redesigns to a more modern style but one thing I really dislike is how the hoverboard system works now and I like the filling bar design better than the original generic bar but please bring back the old system with the double tap and collecting boards rather than finding them even if it’s like a regular skateboard then you use board energy to make it hover but please just bring back collecting boards and increase the hoverboard time because you currently have like five seconds to use it

I do not believe this game does enough to differentiate itself from the original in terms of gameplay. What it does offer in terms of gameplay I’m sure could be introduced to the original just fine, with little complaint. There a several changes that are only present for the sake of there being change, for example: the hoverboards are no longer a power up you can collect from mystery boxes and then double tap to use, but an item that can be gained by collecting blue tokens while running that can then be activated by tapping once. The art style is also very unpleasant, I like the crisper shadows and the cars moving in the background, but I feel as though the higher graphical fidelity is something that can be implemented in the original subway surfers. I fail to see why this game needs its own horrific art style when the originals is so good. To the developers, if you insist on making a sequel, please, please, do a plants vs zombies, and maintain the original art style, but refine it. However, again to the developers, I simply wouldn’t bother with a sequel and I would just focus on expanding the original game, both in terms of characters but mainly in terms of gameplay, as it does feel a bit stale after playing for so long.

I have seen a lot of subway surfers games made by sybo (such as subway surfers tag, which I downloaded but only played once). When I heard about this, I just knew I had to download it and wow. The upgraded graphics make this game an experience and an absolute joy to play. The ability to change maps makes the game feel updated and unique. As well as that, there are less advertisements, which is a big upside.

Even though this game is more modern, there are a few problems with it as well. One of these is the update to keys and coins. In subway surfers you would use keys to revive and stay in the game. Now they aren’t really useful. You use keys for these crates. And you don’t buy characters with coins anymore, you have to complete games.

Although it has its quirks, I would rate this 5 stars as its a refresh to the subway surfers series as a whole, and as this gets released to more countries, I really hope this game gets more updates and popularity, just like subway surfers did.
