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.
Doomsday feeling at its best! A depressing journey with end of the world atmosphere.

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

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.
