You also are able to talk to people through some online system on the train, which seems like a way to pick up missions as they ask you to check places out. Surviving isn’t just when you’re out and about off the train you have to keep up maintenance on the train to keep it moving from place to place while trying to keep everyone on the ups. Needless to say, he had four dollars on him. I had a pair of people on my train and I fed them, but one guy became hungry again very quickly and I had no food. However, that doesn’t always come so easy.

On one hand it seems easy - you keep them fed and healthy and they stay alive - sounds like raising a child, I guess. Not in a bad way at all but, in a way, it seems to focus a lot on survival as you have to keep survivors alive. The game is a survival shooter, but I’m split on which one it is wanting to be more of. You get to see a lot of what people were doing last before everything went to the zombie overlords (let’s be honest, they are our masters). There is a bonus in that it seems the story is told through notes and IMs you find all over on pieces of paper and on computers. You need to be on the lookout for things to keep yourself healthy, food and meds for the survivors you find, weapons to use and, of course, ammo for said weapons.

You are going from train station to train station, searching for anything useful, and seeing if you can find any survivors as well. In The Final Station, you play as a train conductor, assuming that was your job before everything went bad.

However, the game isn’t without some minor issues. Things could be going fine, and then opening one door too many can change everything. It takes a surprising amount of things and compacts them down to make you feel as though you’re always doing something, constantly on the go, and the game walks a fine line with difficulty. Every time I feel as though they start scraping the bottom of the barrel for zombie post-apocalyptic games, one comes by and wets my whistle just enough to be satisfied with it.
