Mini Metro

Top Pro

Soothing gameplay

Minimalist design and relaxing music makes this a very different experience from the bustle of some others. A minimal zen like game that allows one to relax while playing. While gameplay may get hectic there are modes of play that do not allow for loosing meaning that you can relax and just play without worry. See More

Top Con

Casual gameplay

There is less depth than in many of the games listed which may not be quite what is required here See More

Train Fever

Top Pro

Randomly generated levels

Each level i s randomly generated which means that each game will play out differently due to how each level is never the same. This makes for good longevity of gameplay. See More

Top Con

Difficult to surmise why certain routes do not succeed

The game does not surface the needed info one would want to know in order to make sure their routes in the game succeed. This means players will be left guessing as to why some succeed and some fail, which detracts from the gameplay and makes one question the AI. See More

Top Pro

Utilize multiple modes of transit

Unlike many transport management games that focus on one type of transport such as trains or boats, Train Fever features trains, buses and trucks. This makes for varied gameplay as different tactics and skills will need to be used in order to utilize each mode of transport. See More
