Deliver At All Costs

Fun to play, frustrating and boring to complete. The plot (especially after the first act) is somewhat predictable but at the same time tangling ang confusing. But the delivery missions by themselves are interesting, each mission is with its own charm. Doing side quests is a waste of time because from all gadgets there are, only few are useful and the most useful ones are given by the plot. There's less gameplay and more watching cutscenes, so there comes a feeling that gameplay is drip feeded (at least how I felt it in the second act). Complete and forget, and get some achievements along the way. I bought it on sale. Definitely would not buy at full price, not worth it.

♥♥♥♥ this game had me hooked during the first chapter. Smashing through buildings, causing chaos, and driving around the island was genuinely funny and entertaining. The destruction mechanics are easily the best part of the game. Unfortunately... the novelty wears off fast. As the game goes on, missions become repetitive and start working against the very thing that makes the game fun. You're encouraged to be a destructive maniac, yet so many missions suddenly expect you to slow down, drive carefully, and make sure cargo doesn't fall out of your truck. It feels completely at odds with the game's core identity. The camera angle and controls don't help either. Any mission that requires precision driving or platforming quickly becomes frustrating rather than enjoyable. The story also completely lost me after the first chapter. It starts off simple enough, but eventually becomes a confusing mess that seems determined to take itself far more seriously than it should. By the end, I honestly didn't care what was happening anymore. There are some genuinely fun moments here, especially early on, but the repetitive mission design, awkward camera, and increasingly stupid story made this one a disappointment for me. AND I WAS HAVING FUN TOO!

7.5/10 – I signed up to deliver packages, not emotional damage to an entire city. One minute I’m hauling fish, next I’m detonating half the neighborhood in a vintage van. 1959 vibes, chaos physics, and citizens who take things VERY personally. Courier of the year? Absolutely not. Having a blast? 100%. 🚚💥🐟 Follow for reckless deliveries, angry NPCs, and games where “fragile” is just a suggestion. 📦✨ [b]https://store.steampowered.com/curator/42602807-Osiris-Reviews/[/b]

This was a really fun isometric, arcade-y driving game with destructible environments and a surprisingly interesting story to go along with it. It’s set in the late 50s, and the buildings, cars, clothes, music, and overall aesthetic do a great job capturing that post-WW2 "Golden Age" type feel. The whole thing has a very distinct vibe, which helped it stand out a lot more than expected. One review almost stopped me from playing this, where someone said something like: after the first chapter the game starts grading your driving and forcing you to drive safely instead of being able to “deliver at all costs.” I’m glad I ignored that, because that really wasn’t my experience. There are some deliveries where the physics matter more, like hauling a pickup truck full of watermelons where hard cornering, sudden braking, or doing donuts is obviously going to launch stuff everywhere lol but those deliveries are rare. Most of the time, even if something can fall out, you can just pick it back up and keep going. The story was way more interesting and unexpected than I thought it would be too. I won’t spoil anything, but it definitely goes places. The devs also give you the option to skip individual lines of dialogue or entire cutscenes, so if you’re just here for arcadey top-down driving experience, the game doesn’t really fight you on that. My main complaint is that the game is a bit on the short side. You also spend a decent chunk of time driving between your house and the warehouse to start and end each day/"story chapter", but this never really became a nuisance for me. Once you get a good feel of the driving and navigating of different cities, getting across towns only takes a minute or two anyway. The deliveries themselves are the real highlight. They stay surprisingly novel throughout the game, and this is not one of those games where you do three or four missions and feel like you’ve already seen everything it has to offer. The challenges keep changing, and the game does a good job keeping the actual delivery gameplay fresh while honoring the core game loop (Take notes other devs!) Overall, the Far Out Studio Games did a great job here. It feels like they built something they were genuinely passionate about, and that comes through in how distinct and weirdly charming the whole experience is. Worth checking out if you want something different, especially if you enjoy isometric games and / or arcade-y drivers.

Really fun and even relaxing game. Base of the game and its story is like good old games from my childhood. Update: just passed the game. Really interesting story, beautiful world, and really interesting characters you can even attach to. I would never think a destruction driven delivery game would have so layered and interesting story characters and world. Love the 60s! Rate 11/10.

"I learned how to drive playing this game." - My 6 year old. I am about an hour in so my review maybe off, but... My 6 year old loves this game! Driving like a drunk, destroying everything, picking fights with random strangers, driving through peoples houses. Me: "Geeze, you're an evil little jerk!" I say as I watch her chase a pedestrian around with a vintage Caddy. Her: "In this game I am!" She laughs maniacally. What could go wrong in the future? Fun game, good price, cool vibe. Just buy it already.

I bought this game after seeing the trailer and playing the demo several times. It was enjoyable, but I really wish they'd focused more on just doing whacky deliveries rather than the plot, which I didn't really care about and kind of took me out of the game. It also whisked me away from the various maps, and I didn't feel like I'd spent enough time in each city area delivering stuff. I'd rather it was just the deliveries with no plot or story other than 'You work for a delivery company delivering whacky stuff' with a difficulty curve. The game doesn't really get any more challenging as time goes on. Other reviews have commented that the upgrades are largely pointless, which I'd agree with. If they make a sequel or DLC I'd probably still buy it because the missions are really fun.

missions are ok but the plot is one of the biggest bullshet iv ever seen in my life.

GEM ALERT! I am amazed at how overlooked this game is. Art design, destruciton mechanics, overall gameplay is just unmatched. Never seen a game like this.

It might've been fun as a true open world game where you drive around breaking stuff, but it's utterly ruined by the awful on-rails plot. The voice actors do the best they can with the laughably bad dialogue, but they can't save the stilted mess of non-sequitors and incorrect usage of words. You spend half the game watching terrible cutscenes and regretting your purchase. The missions are repetitive, you drive the same path back and forth from the apartment to work every morning and night, it's like half of the time you spend driving. The island is decently big and varied, but you don't see a lot of it since it's just back and forth to the same places all the time. I regret buying this at 50% off, if I'd paid full price I'd feel like a total fool.
