Temple Run 2

Price: Free with ads/ Offers IAP

It would be difficult to compile a list of best running games for Android without a mention of Temple Run, which is undoubtedly one of the most popular and downloaded games ever. There are several in the franchise to choose from, but our choice is Temple Run 2, which nicely racks up the original Temple Run. Playing the game, you’ll need power-ups, coins, and gems to speed you along your way, all the while being chased by a monster.

You can use the in-game gold coins or make an in-app purchase to unlock further characters. It’s hugely enjoyable but might be better suited to avid gamers as the controls are a little different to most and involve swiping up and down and also tilting your mobile device.

All these years later, Sonic is still going strong, and this fast-paced SEGA game is based on the world of the Sonic Boom TV show. All of your favorite characters are there, so as well as Sonic, you can play as Tails, Knuckles, Amy, or a new friend called Sticks.

Lara Croft: Relic Run

Price: Free with ads/ Offers IAP

This game is a departure from earlier Lara Croft adventures as she is now running through the Jungle Temple, Mountain Pass, and Desert in an aim to go as far as possible, rather than shooting everything in sight (although there’s still a bit of that!). The scenery is impressive, and the game offers a mystery aspect, as Lara Croft tries to expose a conspiracy that poses a dire threat to the world. To do this, you’ll collect relics to advance through the game, and you’ll also have a choice of vehicles to help you progress.

This is a game full of challenges, and it’s very satisfying as you beat your enemies along the way.
