Early Access Review
This is one of the greatest games to play when I'm not in the mood for blowing up stuff. This game is a masterpiece in with evoking a seriously zenergetic feeling (yes I know I just used a made up word that combines zen and energetic into one, but you know what I think? I don't give a ♥♥♥♥.) The game doesn't require anything to play, purely an open mind that can be plunged into pressure at any moment. Tension and tranquility are two of the most important factors in video gaming for me, and this Mini Metro nails both. I plan on buying whatever games DPC puts out, as their first has been purely spot-on.

Some minor issues that you may take problem with before purchasing (I didn't, but some people may):
  • No music or sound. I know this is a major setback for some, but I honestly thought my music library suffices. DPC has stated that there will be audio in the final game (which should be expected of any game anyway), but I don't think it's too big a lack at the moment.
  • A fairly limited levelset. There are currently eight levels, some of which have no major differences. Here's what the devs had to say:

    Hopefully we'll get some variation/new obstacles.
  • Lacks content for the price. But it's still fun.

Finally, here's my summary/tl;dr/whatever:
An amazing game that you should most certainly give money to, minor problems (including lack of music) will be fixed before/by launch. And it's seven f**king dollars. Who can't afford a seven dollar game? And if you for some reason don't want to pay seven dollars for this beautiful creation, then you can wait for the mobile one to be released! I see no reason why anyone should have an excuse not to buy this game.

This game is great! I love the calming ambiance, the sound, the colour scheme. This is a utopian peak in casual gaming. If you enjoy the genre, this is most definitely a game for you.

I'm sorry to say that this is a game I can't recommend. When I first saw this game in alpha, I thought, 'This looks rather enjoyable.'
I'm sad to say this is not the case.

First off: This game is not n00b-friendly. The amount of starting money you recieve is shockingly low, and is barely enough to make a half-decent defence system, and you need to learn the game inside-out to understand how to do that.

Second, please, please PLEASE don't price your game like this. If your game is sure to get massively popular, and has a decent amount of content, then I'm perfectly happy to pay extra after it comes out of it's early stages. This game is neither famous, nor does it have nearly enough content to make me satisfied with the price of $15.

Gameplay gets boring, frustrating, bla bla bla bla bla... I could go on all day. This game cannot and will not go far. I'm guessing it's going to die out because of lack of interest.
