  • story141 mentions

    The game's story is a mixed bag, featuring engaging narratives and lovable characters, but often criticized for its linearity and lack of meaningful player choices. While some players appreciated the intertwining storylines and humor, others found character development lacking and certain arcs unlikable or poorly executed. Overall, it offers an interesting, albeit flawed, interactive experience that feels more like a scripted drama than a game with impactful decision-making.

    • “The story is engaging, the characters are lively and fun, and the interaction pulls you in.”
    • “Last Stop is a character-driven game, in which you get to play as three main characters with their own story and background.”
    • “The story was interesting and the way all three storylines of the three different characters weaved together was done well.”
    • “The story doesn't know what it wants to be, and the game doesn't know what audience it was made for!”
    • “There's very little choice in it, you're mostly watching a predetermined story play out.”
    • “The lack of interaction/meaningful choices would've been a non-issue if there was a strong story to back this up but there simply isn't, so it's both a boring play and a frustrating story.”
  • gameplay32 mentions

    The gameplay is largely criticized for being minimal and simplistic, often described as a walking simulator with limited interaction that detracts from the overall experience. While some appreciate the storytelling and writing, many feel that the gameplay mechanics are primitive, repetitive, and fail to engage players meaningfully, making it feel more like an interactive movie than a fully realized game. Overall, the lack of depth and variety in gameplay elements leaves players wanting more.

    • “The gameplay is more to keep you active while enjoying it.”
    • “There are a number of quick-time events, a mechanic I usually dislike, but found worked well for this title.”
    • “That's my subjective thought, but I was glad the gameplay was so because I could lean back on my gaming chair and watch the show, sometimes interacting with it.”
    • “That kind of gameplay gets dull way too fast.”
    • “The gameplay is also minimal.”
    • “If anything, the gameplay is annoying and often feels like it's getting in the way of the story.”
  • graphics23 mentions

    The graphics of the game receive mixed reviews, with some praising its beautiful art style and minimalistic cartoonish visuals, while others criticize the overall quality as "meh" or "muddy and bland." Many players appreciate the aesthetic and unique design, especially for an indie title, but note issues like rough animations, lack of detail in background characters, and occasional glitches.

    • “The only plus of this game is neat graphics and art style.”
    • “And the graphics itself looks muddy and bland.”
    • “As you can probably tell, the visuals are only a little more detailed than The Sims. The amount of walking around you do during some dialogue scenes is minimal and linear, and even the pedestrians on the street and bus don't even have faces, though it still serves the story in an engaging way.”
  • music8 mentions

    The music in the game has received positive feedback, with many players praising the soundtrack for enhancing the overall experience and setting the mood effectively.

  • replayability8 mentions

    The game's replayability is mixed; while some players appreciate the variety in dialogue choices and multiple endings, others feel that once completed, the game offers little incentive to replay, especially given its short duration of around five hours.

    • “Good replayability.”
    • “Replayability includes alternate endings, secrets, multiplayer, etc.”
    • “Once you have completed it, there is no replay value at all, so 5 hours is your lot for £20.”
    • “Due to this, I don't see replay value in this game, so if you want a game you can replay multiple times, you might want to get this on sale instead since there really is no chance of doing so with this one.”
    • “The game took me about 5 hours to play through and has little replay value.”
  • humor6 mentions

    • “The paper dolls storyline is genuinely funny and charming.”

    • “I agree with other comments; I wish they had better character development, especially for the stranger under Donna.”
    • “The rigging and animation are really janky; they're ruining the character design for me, especially since so many of the scenes rely on animations to explain what is going on.”
