The Final Station for Xbox One review: Can you catch the train?

If you're getting tired of the ever-more popular zombie/alien invasion trope, The Final Station has something new for you.

The world is dying. Again. It's been 106 years since the last 'visitation' and now things are amiss once more. Take control of the train traveling cross-country, rescue survivors and keep them all alive while you uncover the mysteries of the returning invasion.

The Final Station is developed by Do My Best, and while they have a team name, the developers are a team of just two men. It's their debut game, and honestly? It's really damn good. They've created an original and engaging game, with brilliant pixel art backgrounds and vistas.

The Final Station is split into two mechanics: exploration, and simulation.

Exploration

As the train driver, you'll need to explore each town on the map in order to rescue survivors and get the blocker code to release the train from the station and allow it to continue on its journey. Along the way, you can find food and first aid, two very important items which can also be found on your train. You'll also find lots of 'junk' items which have a monetary value that will automatically be transferred to your cash balance. You can use the money to buy items if you're lucky enough to stumble across some living survivors or shops. Keep an eye out for spoons... while they're not worth a lot in terms of cash, but they count towards your achievement leaderboard.
