![]() ![]() There are few better on-the-go puzzlers than Mini Metro. I would definitely recommend playing it on mobile anyway as the touchscreen controls are so intuitive. As such it’s a perfect mobile game because you can quickly open it and play for a few minutes a few times throughout the day, even if you don’t have the chance to really sit down with it. The main strength that Mini Metro has to offer is that is creates a desire to play again to improve your score, but without being too frustrating when you lose. To be fair, this is a very affordable mobile game, so this is nit-picking really, but is does hold it back from top marks. Essentially, once you’ve been through the different cities, and then again if you want to complete all the extra challenges, there’s nothing else to do. There’s a daily challenge but that is short lived. There are other modes, but none of them have the same combination of challenge and creativity as the basic gameplay. ![]() There’s not much to say here, but the one thing that is wrong with Mini Metro is significant: there’s not enough content to keep you playing for long.The development of these challenges are well paced as you open up the different cities through the game, giving Mini Metro a smooth learning curve.These are fun, although sometimes very tricky, and are great for bringing you back and forcing you to improve. There’s a high score to beat, which opens up further levels, and also further challenges after that like making a high score with only using a certain number of lines or only so many bridges and the like. Each level has challenges outside of just building the best network you can.That’s not a problem in Mini Metro those fingers and thumbs will need to move quickly around the screen but you are never pressing in one area for long. There’s always the possibility with mobile games that the need to press on the screen means that your fingers get in the way of what you’re seeing. It’s intuitive and swift to just be pressing on the lines and carriages you want to move and change. We’ve all seen things like the London Underground map, or any train service map really, and so the basic idea behind the game is already second nature to most players. Mini Metro does such a great job of making a game out of a such a common place thing as network maps.Mini Metro is somewhat short lived but it’s creative and works well for both a sit-down session and a quick game on the go – maybe whilst you are commuting?! What’s good about it? Well, Mini Metro, a strategy simulation from Dino Polo Club gives you the chance to do just that While missing most of the features promised for the eventual complete version, one gets the feeling that they're getting in on the ground floor of something special as they play through a round of this hectic but relaxing title. It’s simple in concept and easy to pick up but there’s some depth here in terms of maintaining your efficiency as more and more capacity is needed to keep your network from getting overwhelmed. Based on cities around the globe from Paris to Guangzhou you are tasked with connecting stations and passengers with train lines. Inspired by things like the London Underground map, the development team at Dinosaur Polo Club has successfully made a great puzzle game out something as mundane as a train network map. Mini Metro is a mobile game that has you building a transport network for a number of major cities around the world. Also available on: iOS, PC, Switch, PS4.It was re-examined by Jo Robertson and updated 7 weeks ago. Our examiner, Andy Robertson, first checked Mini Motorways 3 years ago. The result is a game that looks beautiful and zen-like but soon brings you face-to-face with painful decisions and collapsing infrastructure. Expert mode is similar but limits your ability to edit roads after you've set them in place. Normal mode sets you a challenge with periodic additions of roads, roundabouts, motorways and so on. Endless mode offers a leisurely look at how to build a city transport system even after things have gone wrong. There are three different ways to play: laid-back Endless Mode, Normal or the high-stakes Expert Mode. If things get too clogged up, the workers can't get through and it's game over. Your simple road system now needs to cope with increased journeys that can crisscross inefficiently if you aren't careful. As things progress more houses and offices are added in different colours. Join them up and the traffic starts flowing. You start with just a single colour-coded workplace and a few houses. It’s slightly more complex than Mini Metro but with the same simple aesthetic and moreish gameplay. You lay down roads, traffic lights and motorways to ensure enough cars can get to the buildings that pop up in your city as time passes. Mini Motorways (2019) is a sequencing strategy game by the same developer as Mini Metro but tasks you with planning a road network rather than a subway.
