Our Expert Score

95/100

The Last Express is a masterpiece of narrative-driven adventure. Set on the final journey of the Orient Express before the outbreak of World War I, it is a race against time in the most literal sense. The game runs in real-time; characters move according to their own schedules, and if you aren't in the right place at the right time, you’ll miss crucial clues or conversations. It creates a sense of immersion that few games have ever matched.

The rotoscoped art style is hauntingly beautiful and gives the game a unique, cinematic feel. This isn't just a puzzle game; it’s a high-stakes political thriller where your choices—and your punctuality—determine the fate of Europe. The mobile port is exceptionally well-handled, with intuitive touch controls that make searching cabins and interacting with passengers feel seamless. It is a haunting, intellectual, and unforgettable experience.
