Gamespot:
In Last Word’s prim and proper world, words speak louder than actions, and combat is fueled by discourse, shifting the momentum of a conversation. This might sound dull in theory, but in practice, the numerous tactics and systems at play lead to an enjoyably varied, if initially confounding system. Combining tact, power, and a healthy dose of subtlety leaves your discussion partner susceptible to your every whim--providing little more than a deflated ellipsis in response to your last word. Despite its elementary presentation, Last Word stands out as a witty, novel venture carried by clever writing and a creative form of combat.
A few of the writers at Z1G continue their battle with Steam addiction by playing and reviewing a random game from their respective libraries.
Technology Tell writes, "In this alternate reality, words have substantial power. Wars are fought with language, not bullets. Even at the party, every attendee is engaging in Discourse to prove intellectual and societal superiority. And Chatters has created a device called The Mouth that allows him to always have the last word in any conversation. No one is allowed to leave until his experiment with his latest invention is complete."
