    Looks simple, easy to learn - but difficult to master. The game offers more choises as you progress + more difficult challanges. Also a daily challange online everyday with leaderboards.

    A fantastic game that is engaging for all the family. Often described as minimal but with plenty to look at, this game has a two-player mode, many cities to create maps for, simple but very effective music that changes as you switch line colour, three challenge modes (normal - where station overcrowding ends the game, endless - which means you can keep extending the tube lines, and extremeA fantastic game that is engaging for all the family.

The surprise for us after 30' playing time was the inclusion of interchanges - making the sudden build up of passengers more avoidable. I have no idea what the trailer was trying to convey -- I nearly didn't buy it because of the high level of dancing on the underground -- but we loved it and highly recommend it!… Expand

    Mini Metro . Played - 35+ Hours
    Paid - £6.74 Score - 9/10

    Mini metro is a smart more-ish game that is easy to pick up, easy to get frustrated with and very very fulfilling when everything goes right. A lovely simple design which although may not look appealing to some at first, is a joy to play.

    Game for those who like solving puzzles under increasing pressure scenarios. Wasn’t a bad game, but got boring quick.

    Sure, the game is challenging and fun while you're sitting on your couch, but it's the perfect time-killer when you're away from home. The simple rules that lead to a surprising depth of challenge will make it easy to while away the hours on a long flight.

    Honestly, I have nothing bad to say about Mini Metro whatsoever. It’s an incredible blend of gorgeous graphics and addictive gameplay, and if you want a great puzzle on your Switch, you owe it to yourself to pick it up.

    Mini Metro is a really good game for unwinding, even with the more challenging modes and moments of high stress that pop when a poorly placed station suddenly appears. In a way, it’s a sim-without-the-sim, and a management game about managing very little. The UI is crisp and clean, the gameplay satisfying, and while the game doesn’t really do much to motivate you to keep playing aside from going “hey, beat your high score!”, it’s fun enough that you’re going to fire it up to try and make a longer lasting and more efficient metro line anyways.
