Just discovered Mini Metro, a puzzle game where you have to create metro lines. Very engaging, but also chill, and currently 50% off on Steam

Mini Metro is a strategy simulation game about designing a subway map for a growing city. Draw lines between stations and start your trains running. As new stations open, redraw your lines to keep them efficient. Decide where to use your limited resources. How long can you keep the city moving?

    There’s also Mini Motorways. Same concept, different pieces. Heavily recommend both, both can scratch those “I just want to have a chill time” and “I wanna optimize and challenge myself” itches.

    Super easy to pick up, spend your lunch break placing lines, and go back to whatever you were doing.

      Still waiting for Mini Motorways to not be gatekept by Apple Arcade on iOS.

      I’ve been playing Mini Metro for almost ten years now.

      That’s a great description of both games. I jump back and forth depending on how I feel.

      From a different studio, but Mini Settlers is also worth a try.

    My friend, you are about to see Mini Metro in every metropolitan subway system map from now until eternity. Godspeed.

    Great game for mobile, too. My partner was hooked for months straight, got into some of the daily top ten leaderboards.

    It’s a great game for starting and stopping while your partner pauses a movie to get a snack. Available on iOS too.

    Brilliant game, and remember: the only reason to play normal mode is to unlock extreme mode!

    I like this game (and mini motorways) but it sort of requires you to pause a lot. It doesn’t significantly take away from the experience (and a lot of games I really enjoy are like this, FTL is a big example) but it still bothers me

    I played that game couple months ago, loved it but I got bored after some time. It’s a slow game, let’s you rearrange all the lines, but after some point it gets difficult. Long lines are slow for the subway and too much people.

      OP was a little too patient, and waited to post this until just 3 hours before the end of the steam winter sale lol

        That’s fine, the spring sale will be here soon enough, and maybe it’ll be on sale for the lunar new year sale or whatever. Steam sales are pretty frequent, and according to ITAD, it goes on sale about every month.
