What was said about The Last Express
The Last Express tried real-time adventuring to evolve the adventure genre. The game ran its adventure in real time aboard a train. Mark Brown cites it as an example of innovating on adventure mechanics rather than only fixing puzzle design.
Critics say the genre died because it could not evolve, and Brown argues new mechanics can still work: "I think there's lots of room for innovation, and reason to return to this genre." The source gives no sales or player numbers for the game.
