    The Last Worker is an underdog story that feels incredibly timely, even more so now than it did a year ago when I first played the game at PAX East. Its themes of corporate corruption and commentary on capitalism are quite sharp, and the game manages to convey all of this without coming off as overly depressing or heavy-handed. Despite some iffy movements on controller, The Last Worker is sure to be one of the year’s best narratives.

    The Last Worker delivers in almost all aspects: beautiful aesthetics, great dialogue, and a satisfying gameplay loop all combine to create a genuinely fun title that is much more than what I initially expected.

    A witty script and likeable performances make this VR dystopia worth getting immersed in. Out of the oppressive grind emerges a narrative with heart. [Issue#27, p.76]

    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.

    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.

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

    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.… Expand
