Late For Work

I hate to leave a negative review but this is a $4 game at best.

In Late For Work, one player assumes the role of a gigantic gorilla wreaking havoc, while up to four other players team up to try and bring the beast down. This chaotic, fast-paced VR party game is designed to keep everyone on their toes, blending both intense action and lighthearted fun. The game’s premise is simple: the gorilla must either wreak havoc and survive or be taken down by a group of determined players. The local multiplayer aspect is perfect for gatherings, as it supports a blend of VR and non-VR players, allowing everyone to jump into the action and enjoy the madness together. The rounds in Late For Work are quick and filled with intense action, making it a perfect fit for fast-paced gaming sessions. Players can swap out in between rounds, taking turns as the mighty gorilla or trying to take it down with everything they have. The game keeps things fun and unpredictable, with an emphasis on over-the-top physics where nearly every object in the environment can be used as a weapon or shield. This dynamic makes the gameplay more entertaining as players hurl objects, dodge attacks, and scramble to use whatever they can to either escape or fight back. The game features a variety of playful and chaotic game modes, each bringing a unique twist to the standard party gameplay. In Classic Deathmatch, the VR gorilla faces off against tanks and jets in a battle for supremacy, while in Hide & Seek, players work to retrieve stolen work items before time runs out. The Last Man Standing mode challenges players to find hidden enemies while avoiding the trickery of special disguises. For even more absurdity, Bull Run introduces normal and rebel cows that players must distinguish between, and UFO Invaders pits players against aliens attempting to abduct livestock. The playful nature of the game extends to modes like Bodyguard, where players must identify hidden spies before they eliminate their VIP targets, and Ape Escape, where the tiny gorilla must evade capture by mad scientists armed with oversized nets. Each game mode introduces new challenges and strategies, ensuring that no two rounds ever feel the same. The variety of modes offers something for everyone, whether they prefer action-packed battles or more strategic, hide-and-seek-style gameplay. Overall, Late For Work excels in its ability to bring people together for a shared VR experience, blending chaos, strategy, and humor into one fun-filled package. The combination of local multiplayer with both VR and non-VR players is a rare treat, making it an excellent choice for group gaming sessions. The wild physics and creative game modes keep the action fresh, and the game’s lighthearted tone ensures it’s always more fun than frustrating. Whether you’re a VR enthusiast or a newcomer, Late For Work offers a memorable and engaging multiplayer experience that’s sure to keep everyone laughing and coming back for more. Rating: 8/10

Amazing game, very unique experience. Will be playing this everytime I have friends over. Can't reccomend it enough. (I got 0.2hrs on it because I got to play it on another Pc in my house)

this is so damn fun

Very fun to play with lots of friends

The frame rate for the PC players is annoyingly low to the point that the game becomes unplayable, even on a high-end machine (RTX 2080 super, Ryzen 3800, 16GB of RAM)

Fun for a short while, but full of bugs. Twice the game froze me out of continuing because it stopped sending enemies in the wave. I don't think it's worth the price. Sub-£5 would be fairer.
