Verdict

The call

EVA and Game Emulator both sit at 4.5 stars, but that hides the real split: 79% of EVA's written reviews are positive against 42% of Game Emulator's. EVA also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). Game Emulator's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ratings volume (651 vs 25). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.
