The Final Station’s gameplay is divided into two parts that fit together rather loosely. The first one is travelling from station to station by train and it offers almost no challenge. The game shows its true colors when it makes you leave the train and turns into a wonderfully creative and perfectly balanced 2D shooter. [12/2016, p.73]

A minimalistic tale of the world ending is executed beautifully in The Final Station. It's an atmospheric, yet demanding action-adventure, a little big game in the true meaning of the definition. [Oct 2016]

Even though it's short for the asking price, Final Station tells a compelling story in an intriguing world.

It's a cool game. Pros.: The story. The lore and world. Smooth. Cons.: Could be more mechanics on the train and the car.

Honestly, an excellent game that makes hours feel like minutes. The exploration, the atmosphere, and even the gameplay, which is rather simple, are all excellent.

While it may look simple and even a bit silly on the surface, The Final Station is quite the captivating game. The story and survival aspects have been blended wonderfully, and it leaves you with plenty to mull over long after the credits roll.

It’s a dark experience from beginning to end, but one that’s absolutely worth playing, especially when it offers some insight into what makes people compelled to fight for the future, no matter how futile the battle may be.

Please, resist the temptation to write this game off as yet another survival horror, and give it a chance. You will discover pixel-perfect art, a neat combination of familiar gameplay mechanics, and a great story with a cool twist.

Do My Best Games’ first foray into game development is a fantastic one. They really have “done their best” and created something wholly unique, tense and with more going on than first meets the eye.

For the first hour of gameplay The Final Station seems like a very, very good game. In time some issues come to light - mostly associated with dialogue and repetitiveness. Still it is a pretty solid debut of Do My Best Games. There weren't many better indie games this summer.

The Final Station ends up being a linear game in the end (I dispelled the illusion of choice by playing it again and finding not much changed), but this short train is worth riding at least once. Combining light simulation aspects that only get better over time with a survival mode with diminishing returns is an interesting concept that shouldn't be ignored.

Apocalypse watched from the window of a train is definitely catchy. Unfortunately, the creators did not succeed in building interesting platformer around it. Just a solid atmosphere does not create a good game.

I had no expectations but this game suprised me alot with its depth and great narrative. Gameplay is simple and a little repeptitive.

fantastic art design as the background is very well done the story even though not explained fully is still intriguing as you want to find out what is going on. The ending is a bit lackluster as it doesn't explain a lot. The game play is fun as its sort of level based and requires some skill and i could see this being done in things like speed running but the game is quite short and could have expanded on its story and game play to its full potential but the sound is also really good for atmosphere as in the rain and weather in general but not so good for the guns it also makes you feel nervous at some points as they show some what creepy levels but again not to its full potential.

I have played it for 5 hours. The story didn't attracting enough for me to keep track of. Game play goes boring very quick. Feels like working as a machine rather then playing a game. Management aspect is irrelevant. The member you save have virtually no value. Saving them give you some reward, but those reward ends up wasting on saving other members. You might as well don't save them at the first place.

Pretty generic and forgettable game. Story is not that exciting. Gameplay is basic and gets repetitive.
SummaryTravel by train through a dying world. Look after your passengers, keep your train operational, and make sure you can always reach the next station. Make your way through swarms of infected at each station. Explore mysterious and abandoned stations looking for supplies and survivors.
