Mini Motorways is a dystopian horror story disguised as a traffic sim. Why does one yellow house need to send its car fleet to the far side of the city every five seconds? Who designed a city with no zoning laws? Why are the green houses colluding to destroy my network? I’m not building a city; I’m surviving an existential crisis in road form. 10/10 would argue with fictional cars again.

Mini Motorways is the kind of game that asks, "Do you want to experience the stress of rush hour, but with the soothing ambiance of soft music and pastel colours?" Spoiler alert: the answer is yes, you do. It’s like SimCity, but instead of building a whole town, you’re just trying to prevent your little pixelated citizens from experiencing the joy of endless traffic jams. Which, by the way, you will fail at—and it will be glorious. The game starts innocently enough. A couple of houses here, a store there. You draw a nice little road, connect the dots, and feel like an urban planning genius. “Look at me,” you think. “I’ve got this. I should be in charge of real cities!” And then, suddenly, bam—out of nowhere, a red house pops up across the river, and now your perfect little road network has become a nightmare spaghetti bowl of highways, bridges, and panic. The basic gameplay consists of dragging roads between coloured houses and their corresponding businesses, but things get tricky faster than you can say “gridlock.” At first, it feels like you’re solving a simple puzzle. By minute ten, it's more like you’re playing Twister with roads, desperately trying to keep the flow of cars going while your brain quietly melts. But hey, at least the game is kind enough to remind you of your failures with a calm, "Oh no, traffic has gotten out of control!"—as if it wasn’t your fault that you thought a single-lane road could handle 50 cars. Ah, and let’s talk about roundabouts. In real life, they’re meant to help with traffic flow. In Mini Motorways, they’re more like tiny, circular hubs of disaster. You drop one down with the hope of easing congestion, only to realise you've accidentally created a vortex of eternal gridlock, where cars endlessly orbit like confused bees around a flower. It’s a beautiful mess. Don’t even get me started on traffic lights. You’d think these would bring order to the chaos, right? Wrong. All they do is create little car parking lots at every intersection while you sit there, watching helplessly as your entire city backs up for miles. Fun fact: in Mini Motorways, the only thing traffic lights do reliably is test your patience. The real joy of the game comes from the moments where you think you’ve finally cracked it. You’ll place a highway, confident that it’ll solve all your problems. "This is it," you say, admiring your work. "I've built the perfect city." But, as soon as you breathe that sigh of relief, a green house spawns on the opposite side of the map, and suddenly, you’re sending cars on a cross-country road trip just to get milk from the store. In conclusion, Mini Motorways is an adorable and deceptively stressful puzzle game that will make you question everything you thought you knew about urban planning. It lures you in with its charming simplicity and then turns your brain into a traffic control centre on the verge of collapse. But don’t worry—when your entire city comes to a standstill and your roads look like they were designed by a particularly vengeful toddler, you can always start over and pretend it never happened.
