Overview
Description

Cities in Motion 2 lets you build, manage, and expand transportation systems across evolving urban landscapes. The sequel adds day‑and‑night cycles, timetables, and a living city that reacts to your decisions. Multiplayer modes let you cooperate or compete with friends, while the sandbox tools give you full creative control over routes, vehicles, and city growth.

Mini Metro is a strategy simulation game where you draw subway lines between stations and keep trains running as the city expands. Each new station forces you to rethink routes and allocate limited resources wisely. The game challenges you to balance efficiency and growth, offering a clean visual style and endless replayability across multiple platforms.
