You have to keep the train running by fixing several components that keep breaking down on your train which can be done with a few simple button presses. The Final Station is split into two gameplay segments. It is your job to drive an experimental train carrying important cargo to the final station, helping ferry people out of dangerous locals on the way.

The art style though simplistic is fairly detailed and with a very moody well done score the music nicely makes you feel the despair of your environment. The Atmosphere has a pretty solid apocalyptic vibe going for it. There are some small cut scenes that play out pivotal story bits, but you will very well find yourself lost with whats going on if your not really doing your reading and finding all of the written dialog scattered throughout the game. They of course want to kill all who remain alive. I know that it most likely involved perhaps aliens coming to cleanse us or possibly even help us, but in doing so have just so happen to kill the vast majority of us with some kind of gas that turns us into shadowy zombie Esq creatures. To be quite honest i am still not really sure. Through finding letters and laptop messages tucked throughout burnout factory’s and homes you begin to piece together what may have happened. So what is the visitation all about? Well that part gets a little foggy.

In The Final Station its called the “visitation” and you are in fact living and playing through the events leading up to the second visitation. Its something we have seen a hundred times before and it also happens to be one of my favorite setting when done well. The Final Station for Nintendo Switch shares a common theme that we are all used to by now, apocalyptic, end of the world, zombie/infected scenario.
