If you were a fan of Variable State's previous game Virginia, I'd warn you to prepare yourself for a big change of pace for this game.
Last Stop is the latest iteration of games that beg the question "but what if games were more like movies and TV?" and manages to put a spin on it that's a bit more inspired than most others.
A very diverse cast of compelling characters, competent enough writing, and the right amount of intrigue to keep people going to the end play to this game's advantages.
In terms of gameplay, it's like a Telltale game but with even more walking around and even less impactful choices, but that's about what I had expected.
Overall, I'd say that the story is what stuck with me after the end credits, it's interesting enough and there's a decent amount of payoffs both emotionally and comedically that it justified its playtime.
6/10 "most british videogame ever" is not the resoundingly positive accolade that a lot of people think it is
