## About Freeways

Freeways is a traffic network optimization puzzle developed by Captain Games that was released in 2018. Players take on the role of a traffic engineer designing freeway interchanges while balancing construction costs and optimizing traffic flow. The game features network-design mechanics with an undo-redo system that supports experimentation, along with a follow-car mode that lets players experience their creations from the perspective of passing vehicles. Reviewers describe the experience as both challenging and contemplative, noting how the minimalist design amplifies creative freedom while a simple premise hides deep strategic depth. Players find that optimizing solutions feels incredibly rewarding. Freeways is verified on Steam Deck and supports short-burst solo play. The game holds a 90% positive rating from 1,680 Steam reviews and is priced at $4.99 USD.
