Release Date: February 20, 2018
An exploration-focused adventure game with FPP view, developed by The Station studio – an experienced team consisting of people who worked on titles like Crash Bandicoot, League of Legends, Destiny and the Prototype series. Its story has been set in a distant future and focuses on the activities of Axiom corporation, which finds the first alien civilization after years of searching.
The Station is a first-person adventure game for PC, PS4 and XONE focusing on exploration. It is the work of a team specifically assembled for this project, formed from veterans who worked on titles like Crash Bandicoot, League of Legends, Destiny and Prototype series.
The story of The Station is set in the far future and focuses on activities of Axiom Corporation. After years and trillions of dollars spent, it finally made a groundbreaking discovery. What Axiom discovered on the faraway planet was not just first life form beyond of Earth, but a whole civilization. The only problem is that aliens are in the midst of civil war, but the company decides to send a cosmic station with three people to see if there is a chance for peaceful relationship. However, right before the mission ends, all major systems fail after the station malfunctions. Unable to contact the crew, Axiom send a recon specialist to investigate the situation. Controlled by players, he will discover secrets that will change his and theirs view on surveillance, imperialism and moral laws.
The Station is a classic adventure game built around exploration. Developers wanted to limit classical narration, so the story is told not through dialogues or cutscenes, but by locations themselves. Each room contains details about the plot, and as we venture deeper into the station, they start to come together. Some details are visible at the first glace, while others require careful investigation of the surroundings. There are also various puzzles that must be solved to progress with the story.
Like many other independent titles, The Station for PC, PS4 and XONE has been developed on Unity Engine. Developers tried to achieve visuals that were slightly different and more “optimistic” than classic style of science fiction genre, while retaining the realism.

Game Ratings for The Station Video Game.
TrueAchievements: 3 / 5 by Mark Delaney
It doesn't show or say anything that other science fiction tales haven't shown or told already, but if you're relatively new to the genre or don't mind rehashing previous themes, The Station is worth its short stay.
Push Square: 6 / 10 by Alex Stinton
So called "walking simulators" live or die on whether they deliver an engaging story, and while The Station appears – at least at first glance – to have this covered, it misses the mark in a number of important ways. It's not bad by any means, but its characters and themes feel light and underdeveloped. While it stumbles narratively, it does at least successfully craft a tense atmosphere, but neither this nor its modest number of enjoyable – if somewhat easy – puzzles are enough to make this a prime candidate for first contact.
TheSixthAxis: 7 / 10 by Aran Suddi
If you're a fan of exploration titles then you should enjoy this. While The Station doesn't reach the heights of some other titles in the genre, it is a good attempt and tells a slightly different story. Hopefully the audio and visual bugs can be ironed out, but The Station is an intriguing little mystery that has you guessing what happened to the crew on board right until the very end.
