    The Final Station’s pairing of on-foot side-scrolling survival with time and resource management on board a train makes for an consistently fun, if not short experience.

It lacks horrible microscopic writings/letters in general and the mini-crafting of health packages or amo always drove me made, as the highlighting of positions where you actually are in the menue is so idiotic minimalistic, that I often ended up choosing the wrong option!

    Minimalistic is the word for the game, as the gameplay pretty soon gets very repetitive and even I really liked the pixel art style, it is just not enough flesh to keep it interesting - the music as well. Rarely there is some sound or background music, although when it comes in, it's pretty good! So I went through way too many 'stations', doing always the same while the story tries to unfold. Unfortunately your passengers on the train talk allot regarding story, but you won't be able to follow as you have to do mini-games, craft stuff or read other messages simultaneously.

    So, in the end and as much as I Iike the game in general, it is not worth 15 $/€ but should be around 5 $/€. The developers should have pimped at least all text-related things to a readable size, but of course there are allot more of 'shoulds' not done and left this somehow nice game close to a train wreck on console in my opinion! If you get it discounted at 1/3 price, it's certainly worth a try or even playthrough.    … Full Review »

Its graphics predate the first PlayStation, and its gameplay is basic but great. It's not easy, but also not too hard. The story is told through dialogue directly towards you, but also between other NPC's in the background. A sinister, Sci-Fi event causes people to turn into dark monsters, and it's your job to transport people and precious cargo around. And it's pretty darn fun and intriguing. It's an excellent game, and i give it a 7/10.… Full Review »

    Typical lazy pc-port with text so tiny it makes your eyes hurt trying to read it. Yikes.
