    I love this game.
    The mechanic is pretty straight forward. Each light(s) has a button associated with it. You turn it green or red and avoid collisions. Super easy to understand, but rewarding to accomplish.
    I've only played single player, but the mechanic of two player sounds fun.
    If this game mechanic seems like something you would like... you will. Highly recommend.

    If micro-managing traffic light signals on various intersection layouts sounds appealing to you, look no further. Even though there isn't a significant amount of time required to unlock all levels, this game is still wroth your time if you enjoy games of the genre.

    Love this game - DigiDrive meets Traffic from commodore. Great soundtrack, lots of stuff to do, 1-4 players playable. Best indie game on Switch? Maybe!

    Quite good in single mode, but absolutely great in coop mode. Perfect with two players.

    Relaxing game, but there is a little BS sometimes. You can THINK you are in the clear, but then a car turns when you don't think it will and you lose. Fun game though, has simple controls, and even has more maps with DLC packs.

    Fun game, but it really is a bit messy, and, I do understand the people's frustration about the cars being way too unpredictable and cars do slip through the traffic lights despite you change them from green to red. It really is annoying, but you have to expect this. Other than that, it's a great game.

    Urban Flow is the best kind of puzzle game: one that is easy to pick up, difficult to master, and lovingly developed exactly for the hardware on which it runs. It's not perfect, but has so much to offer and it so well done in places it's easy to overlook the few warts. It is a welcome addition to the Switch library and a great example of why this console is so good at what it does.

    Players looking for a decent co-op or party game should be pleased. Urban Flow is rather enjoyable in co-op. However, players looking for a single-player game should look elsewhere.

    There’s no denying that Urban Flow succeeds at being a highly addictive casual game. I’m still not entirely convinced I haven’t played something exactly like it somewhere before, but even if I did, it probably didn’t pull off traffic management anywhere near as well as this game does.
