The Last Worker Reviews
The Last Worker features a well-written story and some smart ideas in regards to its gameplay, offering a solid narrative experience.
Impressive efforts with a few noticeable problems holding them back. Won't astound everyone, but is worth your time and cash.
An entertaining and fiercely satirical evocation of a future corporate dystopia, that manages to be both genuinely funny and surprisingly varied in its gameplay.
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.
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 has a fantastic message regarding Capitalism and how big companies rainbowash or exploit its workers for their own gain. As a kind of adaptation of a VR game to console, the experience suffers a bit due to some mechanics feeling better in the peripheric instead the controller.

The Last Worker's comically exaggerated vision of the future of work is highly relevant. Yet its story focuses on showcasing the talents of its stellar voice cast at the expense of offering meaningful things to do, and its satirical punches rarely leave lasting bruises.
