Fun Run 4 - Multiplayer Games 12+

Addicting, but paywall is frustrating

I’ve played the original fun run back when I was in middle-highschool. It’s always been a game I’ve loved, but I haven’t played it for years until now. It’s very addicting and fun! I love the fast pace and simplicity of game play. It looks a lot more polished now than it used to. However, there is a paywall for a lot of the content which is very frustrating. You can’t get alot of coins/gems just from playing. Unlike games that reward you for just playing and winning, you only really get EXP and event tokens after playing rounds. You will have to play numerous times before being able to actually unlock anything. I highly suggest they make it where it is easier to get coins and gems. Creating daily chests, winning bonuses, coin bought chests, etc., is a great way to do that. It’s also a little frustrating when you’re going against people that have more special power ups than you. I wish their match making was better in a way that it’s not just based on trophies, but also what power ups the player has available.

Honest Review of FR4

I’m pretty sure everybody agrees by now that there’s too many micro transactions in this thing. Overall, it just seems like it should’ve been an update to 3, but I actually like the racing in 4 too. It’s, well, fun. The huge glaring issue here though for everybody is that there’s just too many micro transactions. It just makes the game straight up unplayable at times, because you otherwise just get nowhere without spending money. It’s genuinely a dealbreaker that every cosmetic costs actual money, and getting coins is at best difficult and at worst, truthfully exhausting and impossible. Other games like Splatoon will reward you for playing in matches and will allow you to customize your character and unlock cosmetics just by playing the game. I’ve been playing for a while now and I haven’t even unlocked the lion, just because everything goes by so slow. A way to fix this, is simply just adding cosmetics that are rewarded to you for playing the game, and not just a few items. Everything that isn’t an animal is locked behind a paywall, and I’m not sure if that’s going to be fixed, but if i could actually buy things in the shop, then maybe instead of playing, say 1 match I’d play like 3-5 for example, on my way to school or with friends, and honestly I’d probably be more inclined to spend more money just to complete my character. But right now, this isn’t really the case, and it just doesn’t really feel like I’m winning when I get first place in this game.
