This game makes my autism brain so happy like seeing the traffic flows go well is extremely satisfying and it actually doesn't feel mindless too despite how simple it feels.
Aesthetically and functionally, Mini Motorways feels smooth and simple. As a puzzle, however, it is frustrating to a fault. The car AI gets stuck in places that cannot be avoided, such as the one opening you get to a building where all the cars simply have to converge, and the traffic light and roundabouts are useless due to their placement restrictions. But the biggest problem that gets in the way of making this a fun puzzler is the fact that everything is dictated by RNG. If you do not get motorways, you're fucked. If buildings and houses spawn in the middle of nowhere, you're fucked. If buildings and houses spawn on other roads you already built, you're ultrafucked. Sorry Mini Motorways, restarting runs until you get the best infrastructure handed to you is dull.
Someone has to delete these from my steam account for me, because I catch myself missing sunsets.
The question whether or not I wanted to continue my failed city in endless-mode led me to rebuild the entire thing and continue the map for 40 minutes to prove I could make if more effective.

Holy shit.
Man this game makes me want to break my monitor but damnit I love it and keep coming back to it. Seems relaxing on the surface but don't be fooled. This game will have you crying on the floor 5mins in
so stressful oh my god
It's okay. It's great as a casual game to play when bored or waiting, but as game itself I don't think it pushes anything too far, except in the visual department. Would recommend on mobile, never on PC.
My brain enjoys helping cars go vroom.
Bir ülke var tamammı ülke böyle yeşillikli falan güzel kültürleri filan var. Ama bu ülke sadece bok kafalı bir orospu çocuğu cumhurbaşkanı yüzünden çarpık kentleşmeye gidiyor.Sende elindeki imkanlarla trafik lambaları olsun yollar olsun durumu bi şekilde kurtarmaya çalışıyorsun.Tahmin ettin değilmi ? Evet burası tr.
Really solid background game.
good puzzle-type game.
probably better for a mobile experience but not bad to whip out on the PC when you're waiting for something else

Really enjoyable, but novel strategy begins plateauing at a point and with it comes the enjoyment.
i have a fever and the only prescription is MORE ROUNDABOUT
I think when the transportation engineers of the US go to work, they just boot up this game and whatever happens gets built in real life.
Making this game better than mini metro is pro-car propaganda and I can’t forgive them for that
This is better than metro for me. Maybe it's just because I've been playing Luck Be A Landlord for weeks but I noticed this is actually somewhat RNG dependent in a way that was never obvious to me with its predecessor. There really is an element of luck of the draw as to where your buildings will land and how many houses you get to service them etc., and it can make a big difference in your longevity. I don't mind that, it creates some replayability.
Very grateful for night mode.

the same fun game from the studio that brought you mini metro but now in a format that americans can understand
Mini Motorways is a huge improvement over its predecessor, Mini Metro. Mini Metro was simple to a fault. It felt like when a wrinkle emerged in your system, it was more so an annoyance to fix rather than a fun puzzle to solve. This feeling is greatly reduced in Mini Motorways thanks to a greater level of freedom that you are given. Rather than connecting two points together and the path being auto-generated, you are granted thee freedom to draw your own paths, roads in this case, which helps give you a greater sense of control. You get to enjoy this freedom on a sizable amount of maps, and put yourself to the test in daily and weekly challenges. Mini Motorways, while simple, offers greater depth than its predecessor making it a much more engaging experience.
The most unrealistic thing in Mini Motorways is that drivers actually respect traffic laws and do not cause any accidents.
Lessons to learn from this game:
- Build cities around traffic, not traffic around cities
- Roundabouts are fucking great
- half an hour can pass really quickly when you're having fun building streets in London and stressing over orange blocking the streets for red

You can thank me for all the amazing roadways in Texas. Next time you're stuck in Houston gridlock for 3 hours, remember that you're welcome 😎
I fun little game about how growth-based market economies inevitably expand to a point of unsustainability and succumb to entropy.
Really enjoyable to draw the roads between randomly occurring houses/buildings and see the traffic. Good pacing to not feel too overwhelmed, though no matter what you do some buildings just can't handle that many people and you'll eventually lose. Nice upgrade options, and lots of different city maps.
finally got 100% achievements as of the 10 year update and now i can sleep at night
A good, chill game to pass your time that can get quite a bit hard later on. The art-style is very calming and pleasing to look at, and it also includes night mode! There are quite a lot of levels, each having their own theme and aesthetic to them and some even bring new obstacles and options to deal with said obstacles.
The game is updated with weekly and daily challenges which keep the experience fresh even after you've finished it for good. The only gripe that I have with this game are the traffic lights, they're practically useless. Recent patches have tried fixing them, but compared to other options to deal with the traffic, I just didn't find much use for them. Still it's a pretty enjoyable game!

Хорошая головоломка, но больше подходящая под мобильные платформы
I appreciate the more complex design behind Mini Motorways and the efforts made by Dinosaur Polo Club to differentiate it from their previous title. However I much prefer the elegant simplicity and gameplay constraints of Mini Metro.
A relatively pleasant time killer. While you are stuck in traffic jams, you can create them in this game, I caught the message of this game. It can captivate you for a couple of short gaming sessions, but the mechanics are too monotonous. Various maps give pseudo-choice and do not affect anything, there are quite few opportunities for progress in the game (highways, traffic lights, bridges) and this is not enough.
