A relatively pleasant time killer. While you are stuck in traffic jams, you can create them in this game, I caught the message of this game. It can captivate you for a couple of short gaming sessions, but the mechanics are too monotonous. Various maps give pseudo-choice and do not affect anything, there are quite few opportunities for progress in the game (highways, traffic lights, bridges) and this is not enough.
It's a cool game but I thought it was a city builder basically but without buildings. I didn't realize how much you have to like "meta" it, I never won a game in 2 hours of play (which is fine, I don't wanna be good at everything instantly) but I learned that was because I was connecting roads together for different colors and using traffic lights. If you look up tips and tricks online people say to never connect different colored roads together or use traffic lights, seems kind of stupid and makes it more of a puzzle game which isn't what I was expecting when I bought it. I want to be able to build a real city with streets and connecting highways, not deliberately isolate roads by colors and not connect them, it doesn't feel like a real city that way.
