Mini Metro Review (Steam)

by Jim Smale · June 15, 2022

For our Mini Metro Review, we play the classic 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?
