The Final Station

I really liked TFS; it has quite a few flaws, but the core gameplay is good and the story, while a bit all over the place, entertaining. It's a five hour-long game; six if you're generous, but I do not feel it overstayed it's welcome. What I did not like is all the faffing about in the actual train, with the survivors. I liked it at first, but it got tedious due to the speed at which people got hungry/wounded. Ammunition can also become really scarce, which I guess is trying to be part of the game's charm, but it's not really survival nor roguelike so a little more ammo around would've only made it more fun. It's not survival, however, which I liked. If you die your autoload puts you a few rooms back so you can experiment around with clearing an area. I said the story is good and it is; sort of. Aliens have invaded again; OR HAVE THEY?! It can feel like there's twists every hour and a lot of things remain unexplained, even when exploring the world for bits of paper to read. What I like is that it raises questions, but in a conspiracy-kind of way. If you're gonna get it i suggest getting the DLC as well, which addresses a lot of of bad design choices and overall feels like a step up.

I really liked it, could they have expanding on certain concepts, sure. But overall I loved the atmosphere, simple mechanics, and great ending. The dlc was fun too

I played through this in one sitting, and the while the gameplay loop is simple, it does not overstay it's welcome. The premise could have been expanded upon, and I would recommend you only buy this while it is on sale, otherwise 15 bucks is a bit much for so little to show. Itself the game looks really nice, the story is quite good and the whole game flows with each other. For a short break this if a great game to play, though it is good it ends as quickly as it started, as towards the end it has no more cards to play.

pretty art, cool music and very unique chill apocalypse vibes. slightly disappointing gameplay, still better than many modern AAAs. there's actually no train management, and it's absolutely not similar to FAR in any way. the DLC is even worse, it lacks the laidback fatalism of the main game and takes away the train ride completely.

This is a very simple game, and the plot is very interesting.
