Just Adventure
The Last Express is a very well-made game, created with love and unprecedented attention to detail. After long and hard thought, I decided to give it an A-. The graphics and sound quality is excellent and certainly deserves an A. The story is quite interesting too, although it's easy to miss some details. But the gameplay is a bit too unorthodox for my liking, which accounts for the minus. Still, The Last Express is a quality game and a classic.

Adventure Corner
Genau genommen ist 'The Last Express' mehr als ein Adventure, es ist ein Erlebnis! Selten wurde ein Spieler so intensiv in eine Spielwelt eingebunden, was zum einen am Spielprinzip liegt, aber im Speziellen eben auch am großartig geschriebenen Script, das nicht nur mit vielen Wendungen, geheimnisvollen Charakteren mit realistischem Eigenleben und hochdramatischen Momenten daherkommt, sondern auch die historischen Vorgänge im Juli 1914 auf glaubwürdige Weise mit einbezieht und so für einen inhaltlichen Rahmen zum Versinken sorgt.

'The Last Express' überzeugt mit einigen sehr guten Ideen. Durch die stimmungsvolle Atmosphäre vermittelt es dem Spieler den Eindruck, den Orient-Express wirklich auf seiner letzten Reise zu begleiten. ‚The Last Express' ist ein sehr gelungenes First Person Adventure, das mit einer etwas besseren Grafik und einer höheren Rätseldichte zu den besten seiner Art gehören würde.

Entertainment Weekly
In this Murder on the Orient Express knockoff, you — Dr. Robert Cath — have found a friend dead on the train and set off to find the killer. Though The Last Express doesn't take an Agatha Christie to crack the case, it does take the endurance of a locomotive to chug through the backtracking after reaching all kinds of dead ends.
