Cor blimey, crikey, etc.

A delightful, brilliantly paced adventure that lacks interactivity and agency but boasts fantastic performances and a strikingly novel interest in the banality of British life. Whilst the bombastic detour of the final act was entertaining, my favourite moments of Last Stop are when it relishes in the quiet everyday. Whole chapters that focus on making tea and reconciling with your dad, or going to work and negotiating with a difficult boss, or bunking off school and chatting rubbish with your mates. There's so much vibrancy and life behind these very normal moments that Last Stop distils so well. It feels faithfully British in every facet, not just in aesthetics, but in feeling.
