I bought this game on the interesting premise it presents, yet sadly it doesn't seem to do much with that you would expect. Throughout the game you are forced to make assumptions about why things are happening, but don't get any closure on any of it as when you start to think critically so much doesn't seem to make sense or is just a missed opportunity. While I was playing I came up with one word that I felt best …

Crummy story, obnoxious main character, and the most atrocious difficulty spikes you'll ever see in a narrative game. Doing two hacking minigames on a timer while avoiding enemies that one-shot you if they see you was so infuriating I wanted to uninstall. The stealth in general is terrible on top of being horribly tedious. The endings are also all underwhelming. The voice acting is good despite the script being …

This game is a fascinating tongue-in-cheek look at what a dystopian future late-stage capitalism holds. This is especially poignant when the news is filled with stories of mass layoffs amid soaring corporate profits. A man wants to keep his job so he sacrifices his health and mental well-being in order to subject himself to humiliating corporate trauma. Have you ever had to win a productivity race to keep your job? …

A very weird, unique experience that I heartily recommend for all. Pros: * Great voice acting and music * Excellent puzzles and timing to keep gameplay fresh. * Absolutely hilarious "products". Cons: * Had a few times where the game bugged out and erroneously failed me, but I was able to get past them. * The warehouse work took a few tries before the rules made sense. Controls are also not shown long enough - had to …

This game was basically a visual novel with some tedious flappy bird mini games. Interesting story, but calling it a game is a bit a of stretch. Having said that, the parts where you would process the packages was the most enjoyable part of the experience. Worth a look for ten dollars or less.

63% of the 49 Steam reviewers we collected recommend The Last Worker. The complaint that keeps coming up: tedious flappy bird minigames. Deal-breaker or nitpick?
Critics, per Wikipedia
On Metacritic, the PC and PlayStation 5 versions received mixed reviews, and the Xbox Series X/S version received positive reviews. Rock Paper Shotgun felt the tasks meant to be rote were more compelling than the later puzzles involving stealth and sabotage. Though they praised McMahon's art, they said the satire "lays its ideas on far too thick". Though they said it explained its jokes too often and lacked the poignancy of other recent satirical games, PC Gamer called it "a breezy, charming caper with a broad anti-corporate theme". The Guardian and Slant Magazine were more negative; they felt the satire was superficial and ignored real-world concerns about sweat shops in favor of what…

I haven't finished the game yet, but I wishlisted this months back when I first saw a preview of it online and I must say it certainly does not disappoint - having worked for the real life "Jungle" at one point, yes.

positive · AI labelView post →The advertising for this game made me interested. I was here for the anti-establishment, anti-woke, pro-human messaging the advertising put front and center. It's a type of game that emphasizes the story, and it is clearly attempting to tackle real-world contemporary and near-future issues. This game could have been pro-human, anti-automation, and anti-monopoly while remaining relatively a-political. They have chosen to tackle real-world social and political issues, so it is fair to evaluate…

neutral · AI labelView post →I played the first 2 hours and I must say I love the humor of this game. The dialogues are amazing and the control via keyboard is fine as well. Haven't tested controller yet. If you like games with great humor, sarcasm and wanted to be an delivery service all the time then this is your game!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game isn't bad but I desperately hate the hacking minigame. It's difficult to control with a mouse and takes too long to complete within the time constraints provided. When I reached to a point where it wanted me to hack twice, one after the other in within a single hacking time limit I closed the game to come back to later. It turns out the game only saves at the beginning of chapters. I would have to go through 20 minutes of stealth mission to get back to a terrible hacking minigame I…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I admire Death Stranding but I’m not sure why making deliveries is being singled out as some crazy out of the box idea. It is one of the oldest gaming tropes. Paperboy did it, Crazy Taxi made it extra fun and we made a game called The Last Worker that was all about dispatching packages, too.

THIS MAY NOT BE RELEVANT TO THE 2D VERSION RIGHT NOW) It breaks my heart to say this but if you want to play this in VR, like the game was initially promoted as being before they focused more on the 2D version in marketing, you may have to wait a little longer before you can enjoy it. Right now, the VR side of this game is bugged and badly needs fixes to play nicer with VR controllers while also ironing out some…

The narrative follows blue-collar worker Kurt (and definitely not Bill from The Last of Us) as he is thrust in the middle of the years-long battle between world’s largest retailer Jüngle and activist organization S.P.E.A.R.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I've been a fan of these devs since the release of The Exorcist VR games (which are really good and anyone with a headset should be playing them) but I held off on this game and that was a mistake. The mechanics are creative and the plot is solid and I love the controls and how they did a great job of harnessing the best parts about VR along with everything else going on there.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A short game, for sure, but an interesting one with a clear message which, while a bit clumsy on occasion, told the story it wanted to tell and gave you the choice so play the part you wanted. I really thought it was going to try and both-sides the situation - attempt to say the idea of revolution is as bad as the Capitalist mode of working forever - but it did present a third option or doing what you feel is right and escaping the paths put forward. Was it perfect? not entirely. It did…

neutral · AI labelView post →Love this game! The story was great overall, although the endings were a bit deceiving. Voice acting is amazing too. This game really needs a free play mode though. Also, I encountered a really annoying bug right after we get the hacking tool: When the container door opens, weird collisions make it really hard to make it through the door. Apart from that, the game was really fun.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →You play as a futuristic amazon worker, and you are a slave of the system. "I'm 12 and this is deep." Theres a great potential to this game, but every aspect just sucks. Movement is buggy, rebinded buttonlayouts dont work, you need to reload saves in order to interact with something properly, the gameplay is boring and flat. Enemy Ai is buggy. Most importantly the story is simple and you can see all 3 ending from a mile away. Such a wasted voiceacting talent, but most importantly the waste of…

neutral · AI labelView post →+ - Inconsistent game endings - the game seems to have been written on a knee. It's a pity that you can't give a rating according to points in steam reviews - 7/10
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I played the first 2 hours so far and it's been brilliant. The humor combined with the "is this the future we are all heading towards" feeling make it a great experience. Some of the controls would probably work better in VR, but nothing terrible really. No crashes or frame drops at all. As a plus, we get to listen to Jason Isaacs cursing and rambling in his native accent, which is the cherry on top!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game was meant to be played in VR. Not everyone has that. Much of the needed information was in a tiny hud below my FOV. Which makes the game much more difficult than it needs to be. Controls are sluggish and cumbersome. There should be an option to remap them. Was looking forward to this game for some time but it turned out being nothing like I expected.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Digging through old drives, I ran into this trailer for The Last Worker we launched at @officialpax.bsky.social years ago. Weird how the game no longer feels dystopian but like a reflection of our times. Thankfully the game's funny, so play it on Switch (2), PS5, Xbox X/S, PC and VR (for babies).
positive · AI labelView post →The Last Worker, developed by Oiffy and Wolf & Wood Interactive Ltd and published by Wired Productions, is an ambitious narrative-driven adventure that blends dystopian satire with first-person gameplay and striking graphic novel aesthetics. Set in a near-future world dominated by an all-encompassing retail corporation known as Jüngle, the game casts players as Kurt, the company’s last remaining human warehouse employee in a facility otherwise run entirely by automation and AI. What begins as a…

I Loved the main point of the game and what it presents, the characters were amazing with phenomenal voice acting, the story was nice and very understandable. What i will say is, do not ignore the tutorials, i spent my first day stealing parcels and not knowing the controls of the game, for example (putting stickers on the parcels). I felt i was guessing my way trough the game and progressing didn't feel very rewarding. With that said, i give…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →73. The Last Worker - This Amazon-satire is the first game I directed (for VR, consoles, PC). It has an amazing cast incl. Jason Isaacs, Zelda Williams,Tommie Earl Jenkins & Ólafur Darri Ólafsson. It got many 🥇 noms incl at the Venice Film Fest. It barely sold. Jeff Bezos won. BUY IT AND SHOW HIM!
positive · AI labelView post →Effective use of VR to create an atmosphere that feels lonely, desperate and grim. The world-building leans on the familiar, collective consciousness of Amazon warehouses...of monotony...of following instructions...of idolizing figureheads that represent something we want to believe (btw, saw that ending coming a mile away). There's too much motivation to apply the adjective of “cynical”; not enough humour to say it is “sardonic” but there's an uncomfortable truth being expressed.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Has potential, but squanders it for VR gimmicks. In the end, not worth your time.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I bought it purely because it looks kind of cool in the videos on some social media platform. But in the end I didn't liked it. The only really good thing is voiceacting. It's really great - I loved it. The rest not so much. Almost every aspect is just bad enough to be repulsive: movement, handling, default keyboard layout, puzzles and minigames. Story revolts around being in Nier: Amazon warehouse edition working 25 years and then becoming a hero like Luke Skywalker whom proton torpedo didn't…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Works on Reverb G2. The Last Worker is a story focused VR game that mixes work sim, stealth, shooting and some minigames. But none of the gameplay elements works particularly well and some of them are complete ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. The game was not too bad at first: visuals look great in VR, opening cutscene is creative and dialogue feels natural and fluid. Core gameplay of controlling the futuristic forklift is a missed opportunity, though: it does not properly use motion controllers, relying on stick…

If that wasn't the case, The last Worker is one of those that would have been commented on asking surely it would make sense. Make sense it really kinda does.
