One of my favourite internet jokes is: “I enjoy video games because they let me live out my wildest fantasies, like being assigned a task and then completing that task”. Wilmot’s Warehouse felt like that joke made manifest, putting you in the shoes of a tiny warehouse working squareboi. This puzzle-solving sequel, Wilmot Works It Out, doesn’t come packaged with its predecessor’s wry humour, nor the same sense of compulsion. Instead, it exudes a calm and homely sense of idle comfort. For me, that ultimately makes it less compelling, even if it is thematically the entire point. This is about a warehouse worker doing jigsaws on his day off.
