They've certainly been busy! With Jörg Tittel of Oiffy as creative director and featuring an all-star cast - including Jason Isaacs and Ólafur Darri Ólafsson - The Last Worker certainly looks like an interesting narrative-driven puzzler on paper, but was it entertaining enough to see through to the end? As a quick aside, it's worth noting that The Last Worker is compatible with both VR and a television/ monitor. This review is entirely based on the nonVR version (sorry, PS VR2s are expensive!), though; thankfully, it didn't feel like one of those titles that are clearly made for VR and hastily ported to be played with a controller.
You play as Kurt, a 25-year veteran employee at the soulless retail mega-corporation Amaz- I mean, Jüngle. After the company shifted towards full autonomy, Kurt becomes the last human worker, living in the Manhattan-sized warehouses of Jüngle as he seems to have come to terms with the fact that his life has little purpose outside of his job.
Kurt has a simple role to play in the company: collect boxes using a hovering cart (the JünglePod) and the gravity gun-like JüngleGun and deposit them into large delivery chutes. Kurt's job is at its most exciting when checking the boxes for any damage that is to say, it's not very exciting at all - and his robotic companion, Skew, is at his side most of the time to provide some "friendly" banter.
