Last Stop is a game about extraordinary things happening to ordinary people. Set on the streets of London, it follows four very different characters – John, Jack, Donna, and Meena – whose unremarkable lives are suddenly touched by the supernatural. It’s an offbeat mix of the mundane and the fantastic, where one minute you’re making a cup of tea, and the next you’re tumbling through a portal into another dimension.
It’s also one of the most authentic depictions of Britain I’ve seen in a videogame – a realistic, setting that makes those moments when things turn magical seem extra uncanny.
Last Stop is a linear narrative game. You tell the characters what to say in conversations, occasionally move them through heavily choreographed scenes, and not much else. In this sense, as a game, it’s very limited in scope. The interaction is minimal and, in most cases, largely meaningless – to the point where I wish I could just sit and enjoy the story without having to lift the controller to eat a bowl of cereal.
