The premise, in the publisher's words
Mini Metro is a 2015 puzzle strategy video game developed by New Zealand indie development team Dinosaur Polo Club. Players are tasked with constructing an efficient rail transit network for a rapidly growing city. The game's visual style makes use of bold colours and simple geometry to replicate the appearance of modern transit maps. The game uses a procedural audio system to generate sounds based on the player actions and transit network, with inspiration from works of minimal music.

It is played from a bird view / isometric perspective. Its themes are business, educational and sandbox. It is a single-player game with no multiplayer component. There are 73 achievements to unlock.

What it launched against
Mini Metro launched on 22 October 2015, within three weeks of Fallout 4, Rise of the Tomb Raider, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt – Hearts of Stone and Divinity: Original Sin - Enhanced Edition. It reviewed better than all of them. It arrived 2 years into the PlayStation 4's life, so it was built for hardware developers already knew well.
Released around the same time: Fallout 4, Rise of the Tomb Raider, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt – Hearts of Stone, Divinity: Original Sin - Enhanced Edition.
