<!--BSmall Talk
That?s about as engaged with Last Stop?s dialogue system as I ever felt, ho=
wever, since the choices you?re presented with for the bulk of interactions=
are more often than not just three subtle variations on the same sentiment=
This isn?t some Telltale Games-style adventure where you?re pressured to =
make snap conversation decisions while weighing up the potential positive a=
nd negative impacts on your relationship to other characters. In the genera=
l absence of any substantially contrasting dialogue options, it soon become=
s clear that each interaction is going to play out effectively the same way=
no matter which input you select. Having a conversation with someone who s=
eems to have a predetermined response regardless of what you say doesn?t ma=
ke for an engaging interactive experience; it feels more like being trapped=
on a bad date.=20
Last Stop inserts quick-time events in an effort to make you feel more invo=
lved, but they end up feeling equally as futile. In an early chapter you mu=
st press and hold a series of buttons to make Donna climb up a stack of box=
es, but it doesn?t matter if you nail the sequence or flub it completely si=
nce she tumbles off either way. During chase sequences you?re asked to tap =
the shoulder buttons in order to sprint, but you still get away even if you=
press nothing at all. An absence of fail states does at least eliminate th=
e need for any game over screens, but almost every prompt in Last Stop feel=
s less like a stimulating interaction and more like a trigger to prevent yo=
ur controller from powering off due to inactivity."Almost every prompt in L=
ast Stop feels less like a stimulating interaction and more like a trigger =
to prevent your controller from powering off due to inactivity."
?
To be fair there are at least some decisions that have lasting impacts, but=
these are extremely minor things, like determining which clothing to wear =
or the nicknames you give to other characters that persist in subsequent ch=
apters. I wish I had more of an influence over exactly what the main charac=
ters got off their chests, rather than simply which t-shirt design they wor=
e on them. I?m not suggesting that Last Stop needed to feature a malleable =
narrative structure in order to successfully tell a story, but when it pres=
ents the illusion of choice while sticking doggedly to its own script it ju=
st comes across as patronising.=20
Regardless, I remained curious to find out how the three stories would even=
tually intersect in Last Stop?s final chapter, as the three main leads were=
each compelled towards the subterranean portal and the story shifted to an=
entirely new and genuinely gorgeous sci-fi setting. Yet when I got there I=
was disappointed to find out that the final outcome hinged upon a single b=
inary choice for each main character, which left me feeling pretty underwhe=
lmed. I can?t help but feel that I would have been much more invested in ea=
ch character?s fate had they been determined by a cumulation of numerous sm=
aller decisions made along the way instead.--->=20

<p><span style=3D"color: #ffffff;">Last Stop is broken into three separat=
e six-chapter stories, culminating in a final seventh chapter that pulls th=
e three storylines together into a singular climax. You can't binge your wa=
y through an individual story in one block ? you have to complete the first=
chapters of all three stories before the second chapters unlock, and so on=
? but you're given the choice as to the order in which you play each round=
of three chapters. However, it's not a meaningful choice; given that the s=
tories remain largely siloed from each other until the final moments, it di=
dn't really seem to make much difference to me which order I tackled each c=
hapter in. Last Stop could have just as easily been a linear series of chap=
ters that hopped back and forth between characters like a George RR Martin =
novel and it would have made little difference to how the overall story unf=
olded.</span></p>=20
<p><span style=3D"color: #ffffff;">There are clear tonal differences betw=
een each of the three tales, and that at least brings some nice contrast to=
the flow from chapter to chapter. Domestic Affairs follows working profess=
ional Meena, her struggles with infidelity and being an absent parent, and =
her rivalry with a young upstart in direct competition for an office promot=
ion. I enjoyed the adult nature of the drama, although the self-absorbed pe=
rsonality of its lead left me a little cold.</span></p>=20

y slogan associated with London's Underground rail network, but in <a =

useful advice would be ?never mind the gap, there's a bloody portal to anot=
her dimension down here'. This character-driven adventure focuses on the li=
ves of three locals who live on a fictionalised version of London's Piccadi=
lly line, each influenced in varying ways by the mystical gateway that's op=
ened up deep beneath the British capital. However, while the quick-time eve=
nts and cinematic camera angles initially give Last Stop some serious Heavy=
Rain-style choose your own adventure vibes, the lack of any real influence=
in shaping the ensuing events made me feel like I had about as much say in=
the final destination as a passenger on the 5:25pm to Heathrow.</span></p>=

<p><span style=3D"color: #ffffff;">Meanwhile, Stranger Danger takes a sha=
rp turn into more supernatural fare, with teenager Donna developing an unea=
sy relationship with a soft-spoken stranger in possession of unearthly powe=
rs. It's a bit like a Stephen King story set on Coronation Street instead o=
f Castle Rock, and I enjoyed the knockabout banter between its central grou=
p of school friends. In fact, the performance from the voice cast is consis=
