The Last Express Gold Edition

The game itself is fun, but this particular port is broken. Sometimes it crashes immediately on startup. Other times, the wrong scene loads, putting the game into an unwinnable state. I highly suggest waiting for a remaster.

very nice game

un gioco davvero come nessun altro

Juegazo

La idea es muy original pero al transcurrir en tiempo real la acción tiene dos problemas que lo lastran. Por una parte, si no haces las cosas a tiempo, ya no las puedes hacer y tienes que repetir una y otra vez las escenas o incluso empezar de nuevo. Por otra parte, una vez hecho lo que tenías que hacer sólo queda esperar y se hace tedioso y aburrido. Pero al menos el tren el bonito.

Очень подуставшая интерфейсно игра, но история и её подача отличные.

This game is not a mystery game that I was expecting. It was boring, full of politics talks, and lots of small talks after small talks. I was expecting a game more focused on the murder, the evidence gathering, and the solution, but instead, the game forces you to do certain actions during certain times, even though it gives the illusion of freedom and autonomy. The character you control can go anywhere he wanted, listening on or missed certain conversations, but it wasn't clear what the objective of the character at any given points. Lack of English subtitles doesn't do it justice either. Spoiler alert! [spoiler] Even though the game seemingly giving you autonomy to explore the train, the choice presented to you is limited. The main character itself has its own agenda and personality, and the player has to follow what the character wants instead of choosing their own choices. For example, in the beginning of the game, a friend of the character was found dead. I wanted to report to the authority, to start the investagion immediately. What happens is, because your character *somehow* breaks into the train illegally and was on run from doing some other things the week prior, your character cannot afford to report the murder to anyone else, lest getting caught and an instant game over. So the player has to strap his friend on the underside of the sofa, then throw him away during the night. [/spoiler] [spoiler] So, I tried to not throwing the corpse away during the night. The game wouldn't let me sleep. I insisted and let the game run without doing anything, since nothing is preventing me from doing absolutely nothing. Except, in the morning around 4 or 5 a.m., suddenly the train crew found the corpse, despite that train crew was still sleeping when I checked, the door to my room was locked, and there's nothing that I can do to block or halt the train crew because he wasn't even walking before the game abruptly gives a game over. Really, it's buggy and giving the illusion of free choice. [/spoiler] [spoiler] Or during the musical performance day. I had gotten the Firebird and exchanged it for the gold. I wanted to give it to Schmidt to honor our promise. Yet again, the game won't actually let you give the gold to him, despite showing it to him moments earlier. And after a while, guess what happened? The game decided that your character wanted to run away with all the gold! It didn't even cross my mind to run away. Somehow, the character chose to run away, without any prompts, no hints, no foreshadowings. It wasn't even my choice. The illusion of free choice. [/spoiler] At this point, I'm not sure if I want to continue this game. I would update this review if I ever play it again in the future.

Absolutely love this game. Nothing has ever been made since even remotely like it.

One of my favorite games of all time. A classic murder mystery set in the week leading up to World War One. You must solve the clues to unravel the mystery.

This version of the game is no were near as good as the original version it has bugs and glitches but is the only available version on steam and it works well on steam deck. I recommend playing it touch screen as it was ported for touch screen. It’s a shame we never got the planned PlayStation port. It has a great story, excellent characters and great voice acting who all speak in their own language. The graphics are beautifully hand drawn. It’s a serviceable port but I would love a remake or even a remaster of the original windows version. Recommend but Gold version this is not, more a bronze version or gold that makes your skin green.
