    An ingenious game in a simple, effective package, which at first glance looks like a relaxed game, but as a result will squeeze even the last drop of your organizational and managerial skills before you disgracefully capitulate.

    Similar to Dinosaur Polo Club’s previous game Mini Metro, not only the game mechanics but also the visuals and sound contribute in making Mini Motorways a fun and polished game. Its game design allows players to enjoy the essence of a city-builder by simply laying roads, and the game offers interesting tactical challenges depending on your skill.

    Despite first appearances, Mini Motorways is a rewarding check-in with oneself rather than a simulation of traffic management and logistical network development. It’s a meditative simplification of city builders, like if Sim City was a bonsai that only needed the gentlest of tending, and maybe the occasional congestion-busting bypass.

    While Mini Motorways isn’t going to present you with an incredible story or massively varied mechanics, the experience is one you’ll want to keep coming back to. There are seemingly countless options to choose from, and the new Challenge City update takes it to the next level. If you are looking for a game that can be played for 5 minutes or 5 hours, Mini Motorways is absolutely worth every second of your time.

    Despite its rather brief runtime, Mini Motorways shows what made the game so successful on mobile platforms. Featuring a gameplay loop that's hard to resist, the only thing holding it back is a lack of true variety. Luckily, when the gratification loop is this intoxicating and the price is so minimal, the limited replay value can be easily forgiven.

    An unconventional city builder where the city builds itself, while your task is to optimize its road traffic, which requires quick thinking, good planning and a pinch of luck. It’s easy to turn a blind eye to minimalistic visuals, irritating audio and some flaws, because what’s really important is the fact that Mini Motorways is highly addictive. [10/2021, p.62]

    The team at Dinosaur Polo Club clearly has a knack for creating stripped-down but beautiful graphics and for simplifying mechanics down to their essence, which is a clear strength for a title that aims for success on mobile devices. But in order to make Mini Motorways engaging on other platforms, they needed to introduce a new mechanic or a new way to tackle the traffic challenge to add to the depth of the experience.

There is no pressure (unless you are at 1200 trips and a goddamn white supermarket spawned in the middle of your blue houses), it is just a chill yet also strategic game. It is incredibly polished with no bugs (that I have found or noticed) and it nails its core concept and ideas. Definitely worth the 10 USD.… Expand

This game looks like a little stress reliever. After what seems like a little sequel of Mini Metro this isn't a bad game at all. Gameplay seems solid & relaxing as the game is actually like that in general and it's simple and easy to understand. New challenges & leaderboards can give in if you'd like to challenge yourself against other people as you can rise to the top & become the best "road planner" in the game.… Expand

    It lacks a lot of the content that its predecessor (Mini Metro) had. As of writing, Endless Mode is not a thing, the number of road types and upgrades you can build are limited, mod support is nonexistent and the game has some truly off-putting RNG.    … Expand

Daily and weekly challenges, as well as scoreboards and achievements will keep you coming back for more but I'd argue that Mini Metro is probably the better game. Despite the graphics being a slight improvement in Mini Motorways, roundabouts and traffic lights seem ineffective meaning you're an almost helpless bystander to the traffic congestion.… Expand

    If you liked Mini Metro, keep playing it. This new game from Dinosaur Polo Club truly sucks.
