Last Stop

"Neither lengthy nor particularly interactive, Last Stop succeeds on the strengths of its writing, narrative, and characters."

"When it comes down to it, Last Stop is an entertaining journey that just goes completely off the rails in its final half, failing to execute on the interesting ideas it comes up with at the start. I know that …"

"A smart, funny, heartfelt narrative game that tells a killer story, but doesn&s;t do much beyond that."

"Last Stop takes a lot of risks, and for the most part, it succeeds. It&s;s a game about interconnectivity in a modern world, but a few flaws keep it from rising to the heights it wants to."

"Last Stop is three interesting stories tied to an entirely pointless set of gameplay. The narrative drives the game and holds your interest, while the gameplay veers between pointless and distracting. Overall, it is an enjoyable romp for anyone who&s;s …"

"Last Stop does a decent job of hooking you into its story, but the ending lets it down. The journey of characters is more enjoyable than where it ends up."

"‎Last Stop is a very fun indie that allows us to enjoy three completely different stories, showing us the harsh reality of everyday life with three characters who have a lot of personality and who will end up meeting in …"

"Ultimately, Last Stop presents itself as a pleasant experience, able to offer interesting things to consider on the reasons that can push a human being to give a turn to his existence. Despite an extremely pleasant rhythm and many twists …"

"With three heartfelt stories about the meaning of the relationships framed in A Twilight Zone atmosphere, Last Stop is an ambitious interactive comedy-drama which succeeds to deliver its message, even if sometimes at the expense of gameplay experience."

"Last Stop tells a weak story where your choices doesn&s;t really matter, with minimal and guided interactions."

"Last Stop puts forth some interesting narratives with compelling characters and relationships at its core but, unfortunately, falters a bit with its ending."

"Last Stop is an engaging piece of entertainment, but not really an entertaining game to play. The fun of the narrative can&s;t overcome the lackluster gameplay and nonexistent player choice."

"Last Stop should best be reckonned as a strictly narrative game, as its interactive scope is way too clumsy : full linearity, no impacting choices and bland QTE sequences. The variety of atmospheres (comedy, drama, mysteries) makes it intersting to …"

"Last Stop’s anthology-based approach to storytelling is great and helps to keep you engaged throughout. Even though your choices don’t really impact the story, it’s a lovely journey that touches on some interesting themes. Unfortunately, the conclusion is disappointing as …"

"Burroughs and Holland do hit on a fine idea: that, if we could peer into the other lives sharing the pavement, like idle channel surfers, we would surely register a jarring shift of genres."

"Last Stop tells a story so compelling, so wonderfully told, that you’ll be glued to the screen for the entirety of its six-or-so hour running time. With an incredibly high standard of voice talent on board, sublime art direction and …"

"Last Stop may succeed when it comes to delivering a (mostly) engrossing set of stories, but it suffers from a notable lack of substance when it comes to gameplay, with several moments of interactivity feeling like they were included solely …"

"Variable State&s;s sophomore effort reaches a boring destination due to uneven writing and game design austerity."

"Last Stop is all about the story, making its three storylines the centrepiece of the experience. Characters introduced by them quickly become staples as their personalities and unfortunate predicaments take hold, all the while the overall plot takes shape and …"

"Last Stop blends classic British humor, the contrast of human mundanity, and the chaotic nature of the supernatural flawlessly"

"Though it may alienate some players due to its lack of gameplay, Last Stop has an action-packed narrative that doesn’t get stale. It beautifully juxtaposes the mundane day-to-day life of three characters against a bizarre science-fiction story. The fantastic voice …"

"Variable State rejects one-hit-wonder status with its long-awaited follow-up, Last Stop, a game that feels equal parts arthouse and blockbuster."

"The latest narrative adventure from the makers of Virginia explores characters who have to balance their daily lives amidst supernatural events, but it doesn&s;t fully live up to its potential."

"‎It&s;s an unmissable work if you like graphic adventures and good series. Its bizarre plot in the purest X-Files style and its characters will take you on a nice journey to the denouement of this story full of green light.‎"

"Last Stop is endearing with its story and characters with a Hollywood caliber narrative design. It just wants to be a movie more than it wants to be a game, but it is entertaining, nonetheless."

"Variable State follows up the wordless weirdness of Virginia with a far more talkative, and more grounded, supernatural drama with Last Stop. The focus on its three protagonists&s; everyday problems over the underlying odd phenomena helps to make each tale …"

"But the lack of significant choices coupled with the game&s;s awkward structure makes it challenging to get immersed into it. There are three solid experiences contained in Last Stop, and if separated into their own games they could probably all …"

"Last Stop was unlike any narrative driven game I&s;ve played. The stories were all unique, with fully fleshed out characters, great dialogue and voice acting, and a highly entertaining, if ultimately a bit of a letdown, story that finds satisfying …"

"Last Stop is a supernatural narrative adventure set in modern-day London, told through the interwoven stories of three distinct characters. While its dialogue and voice acting shine, the limited player agency, excessive walking segments, and lack of meaningful consequences dull …"

"Overall, Last Stop is something of a mixed bag. At its best it&s;s an enjoyable and immersive narrative adventure game, and Paper Dolls is definitely a good enough story strand to have carried the game on its own had it …"

"Last Stop has something special in there to share over its six-or-so hours. Well worth having on the wishlist until the time and price are right for you."

"Last Stop feels like a glorified interactive cutscene, though a cutscene I was eager to continue watching. It&s;s just unfortunate that the gameplay comes across as an interruption rather than anything that lifts the experience."

"I had a great time playing The Last Stop. While I don&s;t think the end of the story comes together as well as I would have wanted it to, I would still recommend playing it. If you&s;ve liked Telltale&s;s brand …"

"Last Stop is a really fun, engaging, and well-written adventure game that struggles a bit at the end but is elevated by its various characters, great voice acting, good music, and beautiful yet striking minimalist art style."

"Eventually, each story hurriedly resolves itself, foregoing tidy lessons or ironic endings but still lacking that crucial, elusive sense of lived-in authenticity. For as much effort has clearly gone into voicing and animating these characters within their 3D environments, we …"

"Last Stop tells three interesting stories, but lacks enough meaningful choices or consequences to create investment in its drama."

"Last Stop&s;s changes in tone and genre can be jolting in spots, but the characters at the center of such stories manage to keep things grounded for a delightful experience."
