This problem is also exacerbated by the size of the curser and the inherent nature of using a controller and not a mouse because sometimes you can remove a road or place one somewhere you don’t want.

On the downside, when your cities get big with roundabouts, overpasses, and all of the traffic it can be hard to get an exact idea of what the problem is and what needs to be done. There are also weekly and daily challenges to keep your traffic engineering skills on peak form as well as a nice photo mode that allows you to capture your award winning city planning. To unlock the later cities in the game you need to get a certain amount of people to their destination before the fail state. After that you try to tackle some of the other worst traffic cities in the world including Tokyo, Mexico City, and Rio de Janeiro. Having lived around LA before, it’s no surprise that the first level after the tutorial, is Los Angeles. The art design is paired with a relaxing soundtrack that gets you into the zone when the going gets tough. The aesthetic doesn’t stray far from Mini Metro with a very minimalist, grid based design.Mini Motorways also offers many different color schemes to make the game easy on your eyes depending on your preference, I always preferred the night mode. Coming from Apple Arcade, the Nintendo Switch version also supports touch functionality.

Mini Motorways has an efficient control scheme on the Switch that works great in both handheld and with the pro controller with the latter as my preference of choice to be able to see the city on the big screen like a giant command centre. In case you think this a game that will just allow traffic to become a problem, it won’t because there are fail states, where if people aren’t getting to their destination in time it will be game over and you will need to restart. You add roads with one button and delete them with another when you need to fix an issue or make the roads more effective.Īt the end of every week you get a reward, which can come in the form of new road tiles to use, because you only have a limited amount, or bridges because sometimes the best way is over water, or things to help with traffic like expressways, roundabouts, and traffic lights. Maps start with one colour vehicle and a destination, you create a simple road and as you get people to their destination, which is the main goal, new colours appear with new destinations.
