The Last Gas Station

$100 to use the toilets?! Best gas station experience.

I once again wish Steam had an "okay" or "only buy when on sale" rating. The Last Gas Station looked extremely promising to me. I'm a huge fan of cozy management games in general, so adding anthropomorphic animals, pixel graphics, multiplayer, and a spooky mystery on top? Count me in. And at first, the game is a lot of fun. Unlocking new parts of the station and figuring out how everything works gives you a steady sense of progression. Unfortunately, once you reach the mid and late game, it really starts to drag. The minigames seem fun at first but quickly become repetitive. The game's answer to this is eventually letting you automate most of them, which sounds great in theory. The problem is that automation doesn't free you up to focus on new or more interesting mechanics. It just leaves you with nothing to do. You end up literally standing around waiting for the day to pass so you can go to sleep, wake up, and repeat the process. Then the game seems to realize that everything is automated and gives you an incentive to switch the machines back to manual because automation increases your electricity costs. So now you're encouraged to go back to doing the same repetitive minigam…

Nice, fun for one evening!

its a very nice casual game with nice mini games to help boost fun factor, plus it has a nice mild horror vibe. this kinda of thing is right up my ally apperently. though I will say it is sadly a bit short. and while yes there are multiple endings, I was only like 12 hours in before I was able to reach an ending the only thing that is stopping me from doing is in the desire to get Lv. 40 on all legends

Good
