Alright. I spent a day or two thinking after I finished the game.
In short, the game is worth buying, even at full price.

For those who want a fully review, spoilers ahead. (Nothing game ruining, though.)
Last Train Home can either be a fun little game, with in-depth mechanics, forcing you to strategically manage your resources. However, here is my first complaint. Resources feel too abundant. Yes, I know they have an option to increase resource usage, but I didn't fully realize the issue until about chapter five.
I ended up having about 600~ coal and 400~ food near the end, and having enough space was the actual issue for me.
But for new players, I understand why you'd want it to be a bit easier on that front, so, for any players knowledgeable in these sorts of games, just increase the resource usage.
Here are my positives of the game.

The story is extremely good
It's historically accurate, using a Czechoslovak bias, which works wonderfully for this game
The graphics are very nice
There are multiple languages for use
The UI never feels clunky
Decently fast at loading
good music
Took me about 39 hours to play through the entire game (so about 1$ an hour to play)
Very immersive

Negatives
Glitches show up more and more often as the game progresses ( troops walking onto rocks and unable to get down, guns appearing absolutely massive and so on)
There's this really weird late-game glitch where some of your troops will just start dying of the cold, even if they are in the train with every positive (improved winter clothes, chimney, full insulation, and yes, I made sure everything was turned on)
Can start to feel a little repetitive near the end of the game
Music plays over other music in some levels (specifically the last level, where there were three songs playing over each-other)
If you play the game stealthily, you will never run out of resources
Some levels feel unfair. There is a level where you go take a sawmill and a granary. The granary is in the way while you go to the sawmill, and if you even touch the edge of the zone, enemies will start rushing towards your position from two directions. One from the route you just came, and another for the route you must go. This leaves one route for you to go, but it just loops back to the granary.
After this, you have to assault a machine gun position and an armoured car, along with heavy enemy support, specifically, grenadiers. This brings me smoothly to my next point.
Enemy grenadiers. They have infinite grenades. Need I say anything more?
Like I said in the glitches part, troops can just start dying randomly from freezing to death. Once I had a soldier die at full health, probably from the non-existent cold in the train. This made it so I couldn't stay in one place, or I would lose very many troops
and finally, the final mission. Vladivostok is a bit... Disappointing? It's not all that hard, and if you help the whites, you get two soldiers. After fighting a heavy tank, you get two soldiers to help. You can also help some partisans by moving a truck to a different part of the city to hide it from red troops. But uh, half the time there were red troops patrolling the area, so it felt pointless. And taking the fortress is very easy. A grenade here, a grenade there, bait enemies into your position.
Finally, you've taken the fortress, and the game gives you two minutes to prepare yourself. You have an anti-tank gun, a howitzer and a machine gun. Then the game says "Ope, time to artillery barrage you!" without warning, which is fine, but it also destroys these emplacements the game just gave you. Besides that, it's easy, I just set up landmines, and I destroyed any vehicles with either an artillery strike or grenades.

However! Before you take my negativity and decide the game is not worth the money, please remember. I played for about 40 hours, and all of the glitches and negative bits were about 30~ minutes if you were trying to pay attention to them. Otherwise, the game is wonderfully done, and I would recommend this to anyone.
Overall, I would rate the first half a good 9/10 and the second half a 7/10
Buy it, it's good

Early Access Review
I found multiple My little pony mods. This by itself makes the game valid in my eyes. However, due to the extreme fun of being eaten alive while drinking, IRL and in game, life becomes truly edible. I say once more, I have never wanted to be eaten alive so little as in this game. While I write review, I eat strange meats from the land of little ceasears. I am pretty sure, I am already a zombie, since the origin of the meat, is unconfirmed and delicious. Thank you, devs, for this tasty and wonderful experience with ponies, zombies, and cars taht wont start.

Great game if you enjoy story puzzles and well adorable charactors (mostly niko) things i like about the game - the story, the story is compelling and creative -the puzzles, the puzzles make you think outside the box and force you to do things you have never thought a game could make you do before -the charactors, they all have personality's which make the game feel less like a standard puzzle game, and helps you get attached to the world around you. 4.5 out of 5
