The controls are clunky, the combat horrendous (but thankfully scarce), and there are weird interface issues (and thankfully again, [url=https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3164492706]Steam guides to fix it ), but by goodness it's still one of the best adventure games ever made. The characters are so flushed out and by going different places in different playthroughs, you get a different perspective on characters, the story and everything (while still having a pretty much entirely linear plot, which tracks on a train adventure!). I prefer the original version that you can emulate on the GOG.com release, but this Gold Edition, with some setup, works fine. The game bombards you with tooltips at first but that ends after about 30 seconds and you can get to playing like it's 1997 again. This version adds achievements, but most of them are progression-based (with a few missables from searching peoples' compartments) and one somewhat fun and somewhat tedious way to find every possible way to fail or die (although it unlocked for me way before the last sequence of the game, so it doesn't require EVERY way of dying). All in all, while I prefer the GOG version, getting this on sale for a dollar was still well worth it.
A normal vacation involving dumping dead bodies out of my windows, stealing strangers’ private possessions, shoving my fingers into tight holes, and casually enabling illegal international arms deals. I somehow managed to do all of that in The Last Express, while being politely scolded by conductors and judged by a clock.
I should mention upfront that this game is nowhere near perfect. It has major narrative and gameplay issues that are impossible to ignore. So why exactly have I given this a positive rating? Because from top to bottom, this game is completely unlike anything I’ve ever played. On almost every level, The Last Express feels like someone who had never heard of a video game and had no idea how they’re made, decided to invent the concept from scratch. I could never hate anything this wildly creative and daring, no matter how many missteps it takes. The simple but ambitious goal of The Last Express was to create an intricate interactive snapshot of a time and place, specifically Europe in July of 1914, days before the outbreak of the First World War. As a means of keeping the scope constrained but allowing for a nationally and ideologically diverse cast of lovingly rotoscoped characters to eavesdrop on, the setting of the Orient Express was chosen. And sure, that means that the location basically consists of about eight accurately recreated carriages. But this comes with benefits, the train is set to a timetable and so too is the rest of the game. Characters will move around, eat meals, have conversations and make plots at rigidly set times, often concurrently. This means that at any given moment there are usually one or more events to witness, conversations to eavesdrop on, or rooms to explore while their occupants are otherwise engaged. Consequently you’re left with a lot of replay value, aided immensely by the ability to rewind time at will and experiment to see if there is anything happening on the other side of the train that you might have missed. The characters are impressively fleshed out, each with their own backstory and goals and half the joy of the game is discovering who they are and why they’re on the train. In a sense the story has multiple protagonists, the setting is volatile and all alliances are ones of convenience. Not least of all is the player character, the mysterious and impressively multilingual Robert Cath, though I’d hesitate to call him an avatar. In a way that reminded me of L.A. Noire, you are not Cath, even if you are directing his movements. Like Cole Phelps, Robert Cath has his own past, his own goals and his own secrets, and he isn’t particularly interested in sharing them with the player or anybody else. Even his morality is suspect, the game has multiple false endings and one true ending, but if an ending that the player might consider optimal doesn’t align with what Cath’s vague goals are, the only option is to rewind and keep moving forward if you want to see the credits. This isn’t necessarily an issue; even if it’s a little strange, it adds to the characterisation and the impressively well realised story. Having the ability to talk to characters about current events, or sit in the smoking car and read a newspaper, helps to emphasise the particularities of the setting. Sure Franz Ferdinand was assassinated, but it’s far from the top of most people’s minds in this game. When the game is allowing you to luxuriate in the minutiae of the setting or ponder the central mystery, it’s perfect in a way I’ve never quite seen before. But eventually things begin to unravel, by the last third of the game it seems to have lost confidence in that goal and unfortunately drifts into supernatural pulp that isn’t nearly as satisfying. The same goes for the gameplay. Getting to learn everyone’s routines and motivations, walking up and down the train searching for conversations to eavesdrop or opportunities to slip through unguarded doors is captivating. But eventually the scripting starts to break down and you’re left fumbling through cryptic adventure game puzzles with nothing but trial and error to guide you. Still, if you miss something critical and land on a bad ending, the game will helpfully wind the clock back as far as it needs for you to have a chance at correcting the mistake. The game might sometimes feel unfair, but never punishing. Keep playing and you will eventually be steered to the true ending. I’m always going to love something that aims so high, even if it doesn’t quite hit the target. The Last Express is extremely flawed, but few get something this groundbreaking right the first time. They had to invent a whole new kind of game to make this, it’s just a shame that nobody has taken another shot at it since. I should mention that I played the original 1997 release, purchased from GOG but running in ScummVM (mostly for the sake of running a VGA CRT shader, which the visuals benefit enormously from). From what I gather, this 2013 Gold Edition release removes some of the design ambiguity, for better or worse. So if you’re playing this version, you may have a different experience to mine.
