8-Bit IslandBrian McDonaldApr 2019100/100Mini Metro delivers what it promises… which is more than any other metro system... As near to perfect as a minimalistic mass transit simulator can be.

NintendoWorldReportDaan KoopmanSep 20188.5/10That being said, pointer controls would've made this absolutely fantastic for a television. It is neat that you can play up to four people on the television, but the Mini Metro I like is personal and with me anywhere I go. The developers have done a good job translating the magic to the Nintendo Switch, which was honestly my biggest worry going in.

GamingTrendAbram BuehnerSep 201875/100Mini Metro's dynamic gameplay kept me engaged, yet never left me feeling overwhelmed. Whether I was simply looking for twenty minutes of casual puzzling or a burst of hardcore strategy, Mini Metro's deceptively nuanced gameplay worked on both levels equally well. With some quality of life improvements and a more detailed presentation, Mini Metro could propel itself even higher, but even with these concessions the game is easy to recommend.

PS4Blog.netOct 20187.5/10Mini Metro is a minimalist and charming puzzle/simulation game that will keep you busy for hours. Just playing the game to unlock all the cities it has to offer will have you playing for hours as you try to perfect your city planning to establish a growing network of lines that can accommodate the needs of as many commuters possible… until the whole system collapses and you have to start all over again. Be sure to check out Mini Metro on Nintendo Switch!
