MINI MOTORWAYS GUIDE HOW TO
It’s extremely creative, fun and keeps your mind ticking as you get more experienced and know how to plan a city in advance. If you were ever a fan of Sim City, or want to scratch that OCD itch, Mini Motorways is definitely a game you won’t want to pass on. Apart from the slight variation in landscapes depending on each city, it’s more or less the same. Mini Motorways is an absolutely gorgeous game visually, however, it can start to feel repetitive after a while. For example, Mexico City has mountainous regions where you’d have to consider tunnels to go through and join buildings and houses, whereas Wellington or Chiang Mai have rivers or a moat you have to consider building bridges over to keep the traffic flowing smoothly. The various levels doesn’t necessarily make it easier or more difficult but gives you different challenges in its geographic landscapes. To say that it gets extremely hectic is an understatement. All of this while the game adds in extra houses and buildings for you to link together.
Not only that but you have to manage the limitations of how many roads you can create at one time, how many highways, roundabouts and traffic lights you have before having to wait a whole week to attain more and expand your miniature city. The more you experience and play the game, the more you realize it’s a game of strategy. Building the most direct roads to each building isn’t necessarily the smartest option you’d quickly become faced with traffic which slows down the rate that each car is able to get to their designated location and back to home. In terms of its gameplay, Mini Motorways is not as simple as it seems. The visual and sound design absolutely complement each other extremely well. Mini Motorways have also integrated the noise of traffic from car horns during build up as well as just the subtle sounds of motor vehicles traveling through roads, proving the game developers really thought about everything in detail without forcing down the player’s throats. The minimalist design choices of each shadow building colour to each car traveling is quite mesmerizing to look at when you’re immersed in the game.Ĭoupled with the soft background music with the pleasant sound effects of each pop, dings and clicks amongst many other noises used throughout the game are some that suit the visual style. Each level, or in this case, city around the world, has its own distinct palette to differentiate one from another. Similar to the old Sim City where you build up roads, highways and have to deal with traffic congestion, the game is beautifully created. Not only that, but the game itself focuses on exactly what the game is called… building and expanding upon motorways. While Mini Metro was stronger in its colours replicating the look and feel of a real train or metro map with specific colours for train lines, Mini Motorway uses a more stylised, soft pastel colour palette that’s pleasing to the eye. And yes, this game isn’t new and had been released on other platforms a few years back, but the port to the Nintendo Switch is definitely welcome. Not only have they refined the visuals but they’ve expanded on it. If you were a fan of their previous game, Mini Metro, you’re definitely going to love the developer’s latest game.
