Last Stop is a game about extraordinary things happening to ordinary people. Set on the streets of London, it follows four very different characters – John, Jack, Donna, and Meena – whose unremarkable lives are suddenly touched by the supernatural. It’s an offbeat mix of the mundane and the fantastic, where one minute you’re making a cup of tea, and the next you’re tumbling through a portal into another dimension.
It’s also one of the most authentic depictions of Britain I’ve seen in a videogame – a realistic, setting that makes those moments when things turn magical seem extra uncanny.
Last Stop is a linear narrative game. You tell the characters what to say in conversations, occasionally move them through heavily choreographed scenes, and not much else. In this sense, as a game, it’s very limited in scope. The interaction is minimal and, in most cases, largely meaningless – to the point where I wish I could just sit and enjoy the story without having to lift the controller to eat a bowl of cereal.

CELEBRATING 10 YEARS OF THE ELDER SCROLLS ONLINE
Few online RPGs have transformed as much in the past decade as The Elder Scrolls Online. First debuting in April of 2014 as a confused, awkward thing, loved by few. Today, it proudly stands alongside its singleplayer peers. Here's how TESO escaped Oblivion's grasp and reconnected with Elder Scrolls fans.
