The value story
59 discounts in the 13 years on record, a median of 70 percent off across all of them, roughly 8 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended 11 days ago.
Against its own genre it lands in the top 18 percent on value. It is better reviewed than 68 percent of its genre. Sherlock Holmes: Crimes and Punishments ($2.99, scores 82) outscores it, and so does Sanitarium ($4.99, scores 86). Both sit among its closest neighbours.
The drop-off
45% start to 2% rarestNo achievement in this game marks the ending, so there is no finish rate. The curve runs from the most-unlocked achievement to the rarest, and its shape is where players stop. Steam global achievements
What players say
I love this game. The story, design style, hard but logical solutions, and historical accuracy are all plusses. It looks like a comic book but plays like a murder mystery. A bonus for any train lovers. Can be replayed for different endings. Highly recommended.

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.
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.
