As far as the presentation is concerned, the pixelated style is nice and sharp. Both sticks are used for most of the character's movements, with the shoulder buttons required to perform additional tasks. The Final Station controlled quite nicely, though it takes a while to get a hang of. It wasn’t terribly difficult, aside from some close encounters with beasts. Most of them follow narrow passageways, so they don’t often feature surprises. While these segments are well designed, they are straightforward. Sometimes the tasks presented are straightforward, while others see you finding objects to enable a chain reaction. The flow of the game takes you through 30 station stops, and each one needs to be cleared by finding a four-digit code. The exploring side is where things become a bit rougher. It is possible to let all the passengers die and continue like nothing happened, but is that truly what you want? Who do you keep alive with food and medicine? The resources, which you get from exploring at stations, are extremely limited. Survivors get picked up while you ride and as they join your group, you are faced with choices.
It is here that I immediately noticed how hard-hitting The Final Station can be. The first part sees you conducting the train. The gameplay has two segments that you hop between. So now it’s up to a train conductor to save things. It turns inhabitants into terrible beasts that will stop at nothing to crush you. The Second Visitation, a rather unnerving event, has started to unravel. After a few stops, the military shows up with cargo that needs to be delivered. It didn’t take long, however, to realize that something was amiss. I took care of the train, spoke to the passengers and tried to make it to the next station in time. Taking control of a train conductor who wakes up for his daily shift, it starts with just caring for the train. The Final Station puts you in the action from the get-go. The Last Station is the latest title to pull this off, and it really struck a cord with me. I need something more, be it an entertaining wrapper, attractive gameplay, or engrossing moment-to-moment action.
The game type manages to pull me in sometimes, but just the concept of survival isn’t enough for me.
Generally, I am not the biggest fan of survival-esque experiences.
