Where The Station does its best work is in the practical design of the puzzles. One example is needing to repair a droid so it can grant access to another area.

While a college dropout hanging with her buddies may not sound like the most interesting of setups, the skill with which it’s delivered had us hooked with minutes of Mae getting off the train. The writing is endlessly clever, and you’ll want to do and see everything you can every single day lest you miss a witty interaction.

There have been plenty of great relationships in video games over the years, but the bond between Lee and Clementine remains among the best. Although the idea of having a story that branches out based on your decisions has become a staple of TellTale Games this was where it started for them. Everything felt fresh at the time, too.
