    While it paints its dystopian future in broad strokes and has some rough edges, there's a worthwhile and enjoyable tale to experience within The Last Worker.

    If you’ve got an evening that you want to fill with a charming narrative adventure, The Last Worker will fit the bill. Just don’t expect it to make a major impact on you. While its story starts out strong, it fizzles out as it reaches its climax, and a number of frustrating gameplay elements suck a little fun from the experience. Thankfully, the strength of its presentation and excellent voice acting will at least keep you determined to see things through.

    The game is as interested in making you laugh as making you think. [Issue#384, p.104]

    With a bit more to say The Last Worker could’ve been a great game, but the paper thin plot and clunky controls hold back what is otherwise a stylish and unique time with or without VR. Hopefully there’ll be more to come from this world as it’s an interesting premise, but for right now it’s a decent couple of evenings spent.

    The Last Worker’s principal problem is that it’s a game made for VR that’s better without it. Fulfilling online orders in a capitalism-induced apocalypse is an excellent idea marred by inconsistent execution and confounding restrictions placed on VR movement. It’s short enough not to overstay its simplicity, but it’s not smart enough to make any astute thematic statements.

    The Last Worker is a narrative-based adventure that managed to keep us entertained, but that’s about it.

    Dejected criticism of capitalism that offers little in terms of narrative and makes gross blunders in pacing. In terms of gameplay, too, The Last Worker is unfortunately banal.

    It’s at such a remove from anything human that we see no consequences to your actions.

    I played the game on psvr2 and had a good time with the it. The clarity of image is great and colours really pop in the headset. The controlsI played the game on psvr2 and had a good time with the it. The clarity of image is great and colours really pop in the headset. The controls could be better - there are a lot of missed opportunities, like you have to push a button, but it must be done with a X on controller instead of using you hand motion. The story, voice acting and overall mood of the game was great. Full Review »
