Last Stop is an adventure game in which our main task is to discover the story prepared by the creators. The game offers three stories about strangers whose fates are intertwined as a result of a supernatural event. Variable State (creators of the successful Outer Wilds).
Last Stop takes place in modern-day London. Three strangers get involved in a situation connected with a certain supernatural event. The story of each of them is a separate act, which, however, is somehow connected with the others. By learning all the elements of the puzzle, we will discover the secrets of the characters and find out what connects them.
Last Stop is a classic three-dimensional adventure game, in which we observe the action from different perspectives - the camera moves to show us things that are important at a given moment. The game involves exploring locations, using items and talking to other characters.
During the game, we control three different characters - a man named John, a teenage girl named Donna, and a mysterious woman known as Meena. The game enables us to shape the story through our choices. We do it in dialogues, choosing the lines to be spoken by the protagonist we control.
Last Stop can only be played solo. The mainstay of the game is the story campaign, divided into several acts.
Last Stop features nice three-dimensional visuals, adopting a slightly comic book-like style. The character and location designs, which resemble animated films, are not too detailed, but they have their own character and fit the game's atmosphere well. During the game we are accompanied by a soundtrack created by BAFTA winner Lyndon Holland.

Game Ratings for Last Stop Video Game.
Screen Rant: 3 / 5 by Rob Gordon
Overall, Last Stop is something of a mixed bag. At its best it's an enjoyable and immersive narrative adventure game, and Paper Dolls is definitely a good enough story strand to have carried the game on its own had it been expanded. However, the different quality of its three stories, and the awkward narrative shift in its final chapter, does mean that Last Stop feels a little like a missed opportunity when all is said and done, and a good game that could've been excellent with just a bit more content and some tighter scripts.
TheSixthAxis: 8 / 10 by Sam Harrison
I had a great time playing The Last Stop. While I don't think the end of the story comes together as well as I would have wanted it to, I would still recommend playing it. If you've liked Telltale's brand of narrative adventure games in the past then I am sure you would really like this. I was instantly hooked, and I can't wait to see what Variable State make next.
God is a Geek: 7 / 10 by Chris White
Last Stop does a decent job of hooking you into its story, but the ending lets it down. The journey of characters is more enjoyable than where it ends up.
