Critic Reviews for Easy Delivery Co.
Easy Delivery Co. won't be for everyone, but if solitary drives and chill vibes are your idea of a good time, it might be for you. Though its rough edges are visible, its repetition is strangely grounding and can be hard to put down. Ironically, it manages to make the drudgery of gig-economy deliveries feel like a meditative respite.
For its modest price, Easy Delivery Co. uhh... delivers on its promise and then some. It's a fine blend of relaxing and eerie mystique that drives the intrigue forward while having a simplistic yet addictive loop. The handling and driving mechanics, combined with the object physics, add a nice layer of depth. After all, it’s cool as hell and satisfying to drift with a stack of boxes in the trunk. There really isn't a single aspect to point to that doesn't work. It's the perfect kind of game to wind down to after work on a rainy night.
But as a dip-in-and-out game, or something to play while half-watching something else, it absolutely works. More importantly, it has a very specific mood and commits to it. Somehow, delivering packages in a dark, snowy town has never felt so appealing.
Easy Delivery Co. is a relaxing driving game set in a village full of mystery. Will you be able to complete all your deliveries as you survive on energy drinks?
Ultimately, this isn’t a game that’s trying to push boundaries. It’s creepy but cosy, with no real scares or lingering dread. The mechanics are solid, and for a five-hour experience, it’s excellent. Yes, it leans heavily on nostalgia, but that works in its favour. Life was good for me in 2001. I was four. My biggest concern was eating ice cream without it ending up all over my face. I don’t mind slipping back into that feeling every now and then. This game is great as it is.
Easy Delivery Co. is a game in which, ironically, your mileage may vary. If you’re easily frustrated by a game that leans a bit into clunkiness, you might want to pass. If, like me, you found the intentional blows to quality of life to enrich the experience, I would consider this an open recommendation. Easy Delivery Co. carries plenty of charm, but more than anything, it plunges players deep into a calming isolation. Loneliness can kill, but in this case, it’s a nice opportunity to crank up the radio and pretend like you have a full-time job.
Easy Delivery Co. is a mysterious ride that captivates with its audiovisual style aimed at the nostalgia of old PlayStation fans, and it doesn’t disappoint with the excellent atmosphere of snowy mountain regions. However, the gameplay quickly falls into monotony, and the wasted potential of NPCs doesn’t make up for it.
