A game exploring the modern world of online order fulfillment was inevitable. last worker To do. Playing as the last human employee picking packages to be delivered for a retail monopoly named Jüngle, the real-world parallels are obvious, and the setup is fertile for some sharp satire, but Ultimately not used.
The dystopian workplace setting has limitless possibilities, but they’re left unfulfilled by The Last Worker’s short run time. You can’t choose to evade the CEO’s efforts by sabotaging deliveries, or step in and refuse the job outright. If you don’t, you will be forced to try again.
Exploring the package-cluttered halls of Jüngle is still a spectacular sight in VR, and without restrictions on movement, it would be the definitive way to play The Last Worker. You can move horizontally while playing on a flat screen with a controller, but in VR you move in the direction you are facing.Lack of realism, sense of scale, and spatial awareness PSVR2 We offer it, but we recommend playing outside of virtual reality to make the stealth section of the instant failure state much less infuriating.
That’s not to say there isn’t anything to love about The Last Worker. Its small cast and simplistic storyline are heightened by some great voice work. There’s also a well-animated intro cinematic, which sets the stage perfectly without dialogue. I am sorry that it is the only one.
The main problem with Last Worker is that it’s a game made for VR and it’s better without it. Fulfilling online orders in a capitalist-induced apocalypse is a good idea marred by the inconsistent execution and complex limitations placed on VR movement. short, but not smart enough to make a clever thematic statement.
