Dinsun Review
I don't usually care for 'aesthetic' games, but Mini Motorways has some actual meat on its bones. It starts quiet—just a couple of houses and a store—but within ten minutes, you're sweating over the placement of a single roundabout. It’s a simulation of failure; you know the traffic will eventually win, but you want to see how long you can hold it back. The lack of direct control over the drivers is frustrating at times, and the RNG of building placement can ruin a perfect run, which feels unfair for a strategy title. Still, it’s a dignified use of one's time compared to most mobile trash.
