The Final Station Reviews
This game is a hell of a lot of fun to play. It's not overly complicated, but it puts the sense of horror on the screen beautifully. It's easy to pick up and gets interesting very quickly. The way the story is told through features of the world is very creative. Those little touches absorb you into the world so completely that your heart rate rises every time those little white eyes loom out of the darkness.
Overall, The Final Station isn’t adding anything too new or revolutionary to the zombie shooter formula gameplay wise, but at this point what really matters is your motivation and the atmosphere the game takes place in that helps a game succeed in this genre. Tiny Build packed The Final Station full of both of those things and the end result is a surprisingly genuinely suspenseful 2D experience that combines train maintenance with zombie slaying.
I loved my time with The Final Station, and I can’t wait to see where it all ends. The gameplay is easy to understand, the graphics are great, and the game is fun. The one complaint I have about the game is that the typeset used is too small which makes reading messages and conversations very hard if you’re not sitting close to the TV. Other than that, after working on my The Final Station review, I can definitely recommend this one on PlayStation 4.
I liked The Final Station’s pixelated graphics and its gameplay mechanics. The story is drip-fed here and there during your travels, and it’s a bleak one. Did I have fun writing my The Final Station review? Certainly! That’s why I can definitely recommend that you give this one a go on your PlayStation 4 if you’re looking for a new survival game.
The Final Station really became more about the mystery of what’s going on more than anything else. At first, it was just move the train and rescue the people. As I got more passengers and read more notes, however, I started to realize things weren’t quite as they seemed. At the end of the 4-5 hour journey, you might have a few more questions than answers, but overall the ride was worth the toll.
The Final Station is a short and ultimately unsatisfying, uncreative journey. It is a short trip, sitting at around four hours to completion, with no incentive for additional exploration or replays. It is priced a reasonably modest rate, to reflect this playtime and that is possibly what turns what may have been a sour experience into a forgettable one. The gunplay on show is fairly entertaining and the game looks interesting enough, but each of the stations do not present enough challenge or lore to make them rewarding or memorable.
The Final Station pays its respects with an appreciative concision. Tough stages and scarce resources lend heavily to its survival-horror status and though the narrative can feel flawed, it offers numerable nods to the zompocalypse genre with a subtle, reflective tone.
With how rare supplies are and how easy it is to die… even the simple act of opening a door becomes a terrifying experience
By the end of this train ride I enjoyed my ride with it as it presents an interesting tale along with tense gameplay. I enjoyed searching through the different locations and trying to keep my survivors alive even though I didn’t always succeed. The controls could have been better as could the ending. I also feel like the game is a little high in price for the short run time and really the lack of replayability. As it stands though this is a train worth boarding if you want to experience an interesting post apocalyptic tale.
The Final Station is a compelling game, being just short enough to not overstay it’s welcome. It feels a lot like Cloverfield, never truly showing you what exactly has happened to make the world like it is, but hinting at plenty of possible explanations. Bits of story gleaned from conversations and notes kept me intrigued, and the simple combat was enough to lend some excitement and action to the experience. I was able to finish the game in a single sitting without ever feeling particularly bored. The biggest negative aspect of the game is that it doesn't bring anything new to the table gameplay-wise.
'The Final Station' is a fascinating journey that ends a few stops too soon. Its ending ultimately raises more questions than answers, and I was left largely unfulfilled. This disappointment bleeds into the gameplay as well, as each facet of gameplay from the citizen management to the gunplay could've been fleshed out more. Despite these shortcomings, it's still an enjoyable five hour ride — just one that ends before it hits its stride.
The Final Station is a zombie survival game that provides a unique setting but conflicted gameplay.
The Final Station might be lacking in some departments, but what it does well, it does well.
While it is more linear than I would have liked, it delivers on a thrilling experience that I can't get enough of. The pixelated style and its gameplay are some of the smoothest seen on the platform, and it is hard to pull yourself away just a tiny bit. The Final Station is an intriguing journey through and through.
The Final Station deserves credit for an original concept and some fleeting graphical flourishes.
Welcome to The Final Station; a game built upon an interesting take on the apocalypse, and it all happens on a train that you must maintain to keep operational. It’s not an entirely complicated game as far as the gameplay mechanics go, but the story is what’s important here, but it doesn't necessarily leave the best taste in your mouth.
The Final Station has a nice look to it and the generous checkpoints mean you will worry more about supplies than a surprise death. It’s a bit short, clocking in at about five hours, but worth a look.
Can you save humanity from a post apocalyptic world by using..... a train?
This game is so minimalist, yet so full of dark, foreboding atmosphere that I spent the whole time hunched over, tensed up as I made my way through this science fiction horror.
The Final Station is a decent train simulator with just enough craze to it that makes this title completely unique.
