Chris Buffa (Modojo): It's easy to write off Running With Friends. For starters, its creators borrowed concepts from games like Temple Run 2 and Agent Dash, while on a more opinionated level, hating Zynga is on trend regardless of whether you religiously follow the stock market or despise free-to-play. Granted, the publisher has taken its lumps, but it continues to release exciting titles tailor-made for mobile devices, this one being a fine example.
Running with Friends is a great new addition to the “with Friends” series that draws you in just like the rest.

This is typically due to ripping off other people's original ideas, spamming your Facebook feed (and your friends) with useless requests, or making a game that primarily exists to be an IAP cash cow. Did the inevitable finally happen, and they actually delivered a game that at its core is designed to be fun and playable?
