    The Last Clockwinder is a must-play for VR owners – full stop. Even beyond VR, it simply doesn’t get much better than this. If you’re like me, and are experiencing a new reality for the first time, this is a fantastic gateway game that I can’t say enough great things about. A few minor technical hiccups are present, but that’s borderline nitpicking at this near-perfect package.

    The Last Clockwinder is one of those rare gems that, through a solid and simple idea, demonstrates the potential of virtual reality.

    The Last Clockwinder utilises VR in a fun an interesting way, that never gets frustrating or overstays its welcome. Its limited scope works in favour of its world, but the otherwise relatable story being told only through audio recordings is a little disappointing. Regardless, The Last Clockwinder is a must play for PSVR2 owners.

    Despite some low-res textures, a pleasant art style tops things off nicely, and a decent range of comfort options is there if required. The Last Clockwinder isn't a big, showy experience, instead using VR to really root you to the puzzles. Enjoyable throughout and no longer than it needs to be, this is quietly one of the better games among PSVR2's launch lineup.

    The Last Clockwinder may not have the most original concept, but it is still a well executed and charming puzzler.

    It’s a surprisingly physical game, as many solutions involve chucking things across the virtual room. Best use those controller straps, eh? As the fine details of each solution are up to you, and there’s a little physical skill involved, nailing a puzzle is deeply satisfying. A neat payoff at the end for both the story and your previous efforts winds things up perfectly. [Issue#26, p.87]

    The Last Clockwinder is a delightful puzzler that includes a clever mechanic. The ability to create a chain of clones to solve conundrums is a thrill and continues to be so throughout the campaign. Even though there is a lack of interactivity in the environment, you’ll enjoy tinkering with the bots to create the most efficient production line.
