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.

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.

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.

Easy deliveries, they said...

Easy Delivery Co. is a laid back low poly vibes based game, until it isn't. The core gameplay loop of delivering packages, whilst thinking about your resources, is a fun couple of hours. However, the gameplay becomes stagnant as no real progression is felt until you've almost beaten it. There's an iceberg to delve into post-game, probably found on message boards, but none of it is earned in-game.

Easy Delivery Co. is an atmospheric, low–stakes adventure that perfectly marries its eerie nostalgia with a cozy gaming loop. It can get a bit repetitive and there is a late–game grind, but there’s also a lot of charm to be found that ensures it’s well worth a look – especially if the idea of delivering packages in a town that feels both like Silent Hill and an Animal Crossing island at the same time sounds like your idea of a good time.

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.

Driving down the winding mountain roads and through the massive snow drifts is fun. Good thing too — it’s just about the only thing you’ll be doing for most of the game.

Easy Delivery Co. is undoubtedly an enjoyable experience, especially thanks to its almost meditative pace, its intriguing plot, and its quirky characters, but it fails to be truly engaging, mainly because of its repetitiveness.

Easy Delivery Co. is an engaging relaxation simulator that does a great job of conveying a chilling atmosphere, and its level design is strikingly reminiscent of the TV series Twin Peaks. The story isn’t particularly compelling, but it will certainly appeal to those looking for a short, light-hearted game to play over one or two evenings.
