Mini Metro for Negative User Reviews

✓ What Happened?I have been playing this game for a few years now and have enjoyed. Than I would have given it more stars. Now, I feel like something has changed in the game and its become harder. I use to get pretty high scores and when I would try to break it, I would get close or break it. Now I can barely get to 500 half the time. I’m on normal play, yet it seems like stations are filling up way faster. It’s not as fun since I can’t even get close to breaking my own scores. Has something changed? Also, I wish they would add Chicago..TVRob24Version: 1.43

✓ Horrible AIAI is horrendous. Often trains are going to places with no passengers, while there is a station next to it brimming with passengers. I kept on losing because of this. Even when there were no other passengers on the line and the train was empty, it refused to fill up the passengers..YeemanfishVersion: 1.48

✓ Great game, awful controlsI love this game, but the controls have made me rage quit three times during my first session playing it. Desperately trying to move your train to a full station but it keeps grabbing a line instead is this game in a nutshell..Bhd.oaVersion: 1.38

✓ Fun but not worth the costFor the cost of this game I would have expected something with a bit more variation and detail to keep the gameplay interesting. I have to say having purchased it about 3 days ago I’m already getting bored. Aside from Osaka with the availability of the Shinkansen train, there is only a layout difference between the maps and by the end that difference really don’t pose much interest. Unless you’re someone who likes to beat your own score there isn’t really enough variation in the game play to keep playing it time and again. I will say the graphics and look of the game are love, crisp, smooth and visually pleasing. Otherwise this game would be only getting a single star from me..RostamKVersion: 1.10

✓ Good but a few minor things could make it betterA solid app. A lot of fun and a good challenge. My biggest complaint that would make it much better is there needs to be some sort of color coding at exchanges. When they start to get full you have no idea who’s waiting for what train line, so it’s impossible to know what line to add additional locomotives. It ends up making more sense to make inefficient lines instead of exchanges. Also, sometimes it makes no sense when adding locomotives that they disappear from other lines..XCaptFrostyxVersion: 1.38

✓ Awesome but..Lovely game, only one complaint! Why don’t you guys have a save option to save a map or game? It’s baffles me as a developer too. Thanks.Patty-vyzVersion: 1.48

✓ Fun game but crashesIt’s a fun game, but each time I start getting far the game crashes and it loses all my progress..Tanman1468268Version: 1.41

✓ Same daily mapsPlease get different daily maps please.Shawn Ethan SantosVersion: 1.53.3

✓ Polished but not funThe game’s visual and mechanical quality is peerless, but playing it makes me feel anxious, because it feels like I am constantly fighting a losing battle and there is nothing for me to do except waiting to be slowly overwhelmed. That is not an experience that I buy this kind of game for..4d toys reviewerVersion: 1.41

✓ Great base gameplay, no long term funEnjoyed the first 5-10 hours I put into this game. Very “comfy” to play and just zone out for a while. Unfortunately, while Mini Metro has an end game that could be fun, it’s not fun to get to. You have to complete challenges to unlock more difficult game modes. I’ve spent hours trying to beat these difficult challenges and when I finally complete them, they don’t actually unlock the more difficult mode. So a huge waste of time. I don’t want to invest any more time if I’m never going to be sure my investment pays off. The PC version gives you warnings to make sure you don’t break any rules and are able to unlock the more difficult modes with less hassle. But for me, I’m done with the game. The end game looks like it could be fun but unfortunately I’m not willing to spend hours trying to unlock it if I’m never sure the game will actually unlock it..Matt17171mattVersion: 1.41

✓ Play until you lose, repeatI bought this game because a lot of the reviews describe this as a puzzle solving game. It's not. There's nothing to "solve", all that happens is the number of stations grows at random and without limit until you can't handle them all, and then you lose. Then you play again and do the same thing. Sometimes you lose sooner and sometimes you lose later. That's it. All the different cities play the same, except the "more advanced" ones give you fewer resources to start with so you lose sooner. All the "achievements" just consist of "lose later than point X". Even the "daily challenge" is just "lose as late as you can today!" Personally, I like actual puzzle games: they progress. If you fail a level, it's the same when you replay it so you can try a different strategy until you solve it. There is a sense of completion and achievement. This game has none of that. If you've played it for 5 minutes, you've seen everything you're ever going to see. I will agree, at least, with those who have admired the graphics. The look of the game is a lot of fun if you're a transit buff like me. It's a pity the actual game play didn't live up to that..FunBobby23Version: 1.50.1

✓ Fantastic game, but features feel stagnant over the yearsI love playing this game, it really plays to my inner urban planner and ADHD. However, over the years the development of Mini Metro and its features feel like it has stagnated. The new cities are a welcome addition, but quality of life improvements like being able to scroll on the leaderboard for cities/daily challenges, saving previous games of a city to look back to without having to manually save (or at least having the option to automatically suggest to save a screenshot of a new high score or to share it as a social media post) would most certainly boost engagement within the community. Updates to the creative mode would also be welcome, such as having deeper integration of the city in real life by showing density and zoning district blobs to guide us players instead of having a complete sandbox that feels the same across cities..Orange pasty skinVersion: 1.53.1

✓ No longer funI’m taking this game off my iPad. It used to be fun, but now it’s almost impossible to make a decent score, let alone beat your previous one. The concept is clever, the rules are simple, but somehow the gameplay has changed-the passenger numbers increase way too quickly, new stations appear way too quickly and locos and carriages appear way too slowly to be able to meet the passenger and station demands. Don’t know what you guys have changed, but it’s not fun any more and there’s no challenge because you’ve made it too difficult. I might reinstall stall it again later if the gameplay becomes more user friendly but right now it seems that you’ve gone out of your way to make it difficult..Backdoor OperatorVersion: 1.37.4

✓ Fun but needs fixingFun game... but needs some fixing. The rewards don’t appear when you receive them each week, or you will only get one of the items. Makes it impossible to get high scores as the passenger numbers seem to increase exponentially. Has potential..TSS-CraftyjoeVersion: 1.38

✓ BrokenOn a huge number of occasions, the game is unplayable as maps don’t load. The ‘play’ button registers my touch, but the game does not load the map or progress past that point. So frustrating..Nick639Version: 1.53

✓ More aggravating than calmingMaybe I just need to get good, but man is this game frustrating. The normal game mode is fun up until you’re getting continuously bombarded with new circle stations you need to fit into your existing lines. And to make matters worse, you can’t even turn off the constant drone of the background noise (I can’t even call it music). You can only set it to quiet, which is still loud. If you can get over these two things, maybe you’ll find the game relaxing. I certainly can’t..NoooooooooowoVersion: 1.47.2

✓ Bugs in challengeI love the daily challenge. Unfortunately my score is not being recorded on the challenge board (specifically missed a day to make certain it wasn’t me playing at odd hours). If it wasn’t for this mammoth glitch, where progress isn’t being accurately recorded, I would definitely give this four or five stars. As it is, this bug is really letting the entire game down..MinniechildeVersion: 1.37.2

✓ Good gameGreat gaem.WizwumsVersion: 1.50.1

✓ Game has stopped WorkingWhat the hell has happened???? Supposedly this game has been updated in the last couple of days, and as I play it daily, and purchased it outright, I am disappointed to find I can no longer play it. I knew I could not play Mini Motorway as it is only available on the Apple Arcade setup and I do not want to pay out monthly for it. So what have you done to this? made it so we cannot play it on older devices, or made it only available on arcade? Or is it just a bug and will be fixed. If it is not a bug, are we being offered a refund (full or partial) for stopping us using a game we have purchased outright?.Rico534Version: 1.53

✓ It’s ok....Mindless but monotonous.....IPhone NZ UserVersion: 1.12.1

✓ Seriously flawed follow-up to the great Mini MetroI’ve been steeped in city building games since the original SimCity, and I loved Mini Metro. It managed to distill the essence of city building games down into a brilliant abstract form. Naturally I was excited for Mini Motorways but it’s just… weird. Why are the buildings where they are? How can a house just move its driveway? What kind of logic is there to the layout of this city? With Mini Metro, the abstraction worked because you could imagine a city around what you were creating, but this game *is* the city and it makes no sense. Once I got my first “motorway” and figured out how to build it, my reaction was the tipping point. This game might have the visual style of a Mini Metro sequel, but it is sub-mediocre as an actual game experience. Deleted. With regret and profound disappointment..Room34Version: 1.41

✓ Same format wins everytimeThe game layout is excellent, draws you in to thinking it’s a new concept. You start off playing and really want to excel at it in the challenging modes then realise there is only so far you can get every time and you have to use the same design concept to reach it. The game piles on extra passengers as time goes on and is therefore impossible to really achieve anything within the game. The continuous modes let you explain different layouts but then it becomes boring. I would like something challenging and achievable. Mini metro is challenging at first but then becomes boring when you realise you’re going over the same old ground to get the same old scores..NedlogeelVersion: 1.38

✓ Annoying music, and very difficult.I often fall short when a station becomes overcrowded because the game doesn’t give me enough trains or carriages, but then I remind myself that paid professionals do this on a daily basis with Transport for London. On a more serious note, it should provide prompts and tips on how to improve your network rather than just create a ‘fail’ scenario with the abrupt ending. It is also incredibly annoying that the music doesn’t really change or ‘reset’ when starting a new game, the ‘drone’ of the supposed music carries on from the previous game and makes the experience seem rather monotonous. Other than that, the UI is quite intuitive and clever, finally I must say I do prefer the outright purchase of games rather than the in-app purchases that is more commonplace these days..SteviepeeVersion: 1.46.1

✓ Fun Game Needs a Lot More WorkI've spent a great deal of time playing Mini Metro. It's addictive and engrossing. I do recommend it. There are some important shortcomings that make an otherwise great game really frustrating. Two big ones come to mind. First, there's no way to save a game. If you nav away from the app and come back a few hours or a few days later, it's not certain that the map were playing will still be there when you get back. A lot of my work has gone down the drain just because I switched apps or had to go to work or sleep. The second is the app doesn't quite do a good job of accounting for iOS' gestures for activating the Notification or Control Centers. Selecting a stop at the top or bottom of the app more often than not triggers one of those two drawers. Those are my biggest gripes. The app could do better to let users save games or zoom out farther. That won't stop me from recommending Mini Metro, but there's more work to be done here..JDRM1982Version: 1.37.3

✓ Needs work but cool trains.This app is good at first but is just not fun and too hard. I’m a kid and I bought this app with my money and thought it would be good but I didn’t enjoy it at all. Also ITS Not WORTH THE MONEY. This app should be no more than $5. My feedback is lower the price make it a bit more easier. But you did a good job to make the game and the trains are cool..Skylord2339Version: 1.12.1

Mini Metro works most of the time. If it is not working for you, we recommend you excersise some patience and retry later or contact Mini Metro.
