Mini Metro is terribly nice, isn’t it? I’ve grown fairly keen on lounging round, placing collectively an idealised transit system that – irrespective of how a lot I fudge issues up – at all times seems utopian in comparison with what the actual world can put collectively. Yes, I say to myself, isn’t it beautiful to put down this tramline with out racking up tens of millions of quid and shutting down half town. Truly, games are fantastical creations.
Now that builders Dinosaur Polo Club have solved railway issues for good (in all probability), their subsequent shot is aimed squarely on the unhealthy boy of public infrastructure. Announced at the moment, Mini Motorways will tackle site visitors.
As per a brand new teaser launched this afternoon, Mini Motorways is about to take us on one other globetrotting infrastructure administration journey. Exciting!
Sure, trains are objectively higher than vehicles, however swapping them out opens up a complete new set of challenges. The tube ideally runs easily and consistently (don’t @ me, Londoners), however vehicles are likely to jam up at junctions. You’ve at all times received to seek out someplace to place the buggers once they cease, too. Mini Motorways has you managing parking tons, junctions and highways to maintain town working easily.
Part of the allure of Mini Metro was the best way each stage appear like it was pulled out of a neighborhood subway map. Mini Motorways has a equally minimal type with buckets extra color thrown in. Yes, it builds some awfully cute little cities. But I do hope there’s a approach to fiddle with the settings sufficient to make Motorways’ streets appear like you’d dug them out of a ratty outdated 1998 AA Road Atlas. It’s solely proper.
If you’re a kind of iPhone youngsters, Mini Motorways is setting off this Thursday as a part of Apple Arcade’s launch lineup. Us saps on PC should cruelly wait – Mini Motorways’ Steam launch wont arrive till subsequent yr.
Ah effectively, we’ve at all times received the pleasant Freeways for now.
