    The Final Station doesn’t break any molds, nor is it revolutionary in its gameplay or ideas, but it is fun. It is good old fashioned, quality fun.

    Kudos to Do My Best. For a debut game, I'm very impressed by the level of quality and thought that has gone into The Final Station. While some may feel like pixel-art is overdone in general, I can't fault Do My Best for going down that route for their first game -- its simple design allows for a lot of creativity.

    The Final Station has a great deal of promise, but repetitive gameplay elements can be tiring.

    An interesting idea with some charming visuals, but with a too linear and basic gameplay.

    A simple but frantic 2D survival game that can quickly become monotonous. Only recommended for hardcore survival fans.

    The game is straightforward and fun except for the frustrating lack of instructions on how things work.

    I really didn’t enjoy my time with The Final Station at all. Combat, whilst not particularly difficult, was still frustrating and often unfair, and the infuriating menus aboard the train meant there wasn’t any point during my playthrough that I was actually having fun. I suspect the story is the real draw here, but the text was too small to read without sitting with my nose to the T.V. screen and the ending just made me want to uninstall the thing as fast as possible.

Although getting the code for the stations may be a little repetitive at points the different ways to go on each level can keep you interested as well as managing your supplies for you and your passengers great game. The DLC is also a good play as well… Expand

The switching between the survivor management system in between the exploration and combat. I died a few times being caught off guard. Does have a good feeling of survival with the limited resources and which works well between the survivor management system and the other mode making decisions that will affect you one way or another. One of few games i enjoyed reading every pick up note and peace of conversation. A good indie game I hope to see more games like this in future.… Expand

Gameplay is simple but not perfect but, still good and fun. Story is engaging and compelling, but disappointed me a bit at the end, leaving me without further explanations. But it's not a forgettable journey at all, as you start wondering by the end of the game just how it would be like if it was an AAA game.… Expand

    Interesting idea, and I wanted to see the end of the story, but the combat sucks. Monotonous, unfair, annoying. I just gave up to be honest.
