Verdict
Subway Surfers and Cube Blast both sit at 4.6 stars, but that hides the real split: 87% of Subway Surfers's written reviews are positive against 25% of Cube Blast's. Subway Surfers also leads on ratings volume (3.9M vs 2.3K) and update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks). Cube Blast's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
