  • story
    315 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story is a mixed bag, with many players finding it unnecessary and distracting from the core gameplay, which revolves around fun and absurd delivery missions. While some appreciate the quirky and humorous narrative, others criticize its pacing, convoluted plot points, and lack of depth, leading to a sense of frustration during gameplay. Overall, the story's attempts at drama often clash with the lighthearted nature of the missions, resulting in a disjointed experience that some players found tedious.

    • “The story is interesting enough.”
    • “Coupled with an interesting story that unfolds as you progress, 'Deliver at All Costs' manages to be more than just a driving game; it's an engaging adventure.”
    • “I didn't expect much from the story but it's actually quite engaging, wondering what's next.”
    • “This game has the dredge problem: the core gameplay is fun as hell and you could've built a game solely around progressing through increasingly ludicrous and insane deliveries but, instead, it decides to progress itself via a story that really only serves to distract you from the fun you should be having.”
    • “The story is completely ridiculous and I love it.”
    • “Another disappointment is the story; it's very tedious, way too long, way too overindulgent and I must say that I started skipping dialogue after a third of the game and full on skipped cinematics after the halfway point.”
  • gameplay
    68 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is characterized by fun and chaotic mechanics, particularly in driving and destruction, which provide an engaging experience initially. However, many players feel that the gameplay loop becomes repetitive and tedious over time, often overshadowed by a distracting narrative that lacks cohesion with the gameplay. While the mechanics are praised for their humor and creativity, the overall experience suffers from a lack of depth and polish, leading to a mixed reception.

    • “Warm atmosphere, smooth and fun gameplay, amazing story and soundtrack!”
    • “The gameplay is genuinely good: fun, dynamic, with awesome destruction.”
    • “The gameplay is so chaotic and so forgiving that it's just fun vibes all around!”
    • “This game is also the embodiment of the so-called 'ludonarrative dissonance': on the one hand, gameplay-wise, we can fall from any height without dying and run over pedestrians with our car as if they were bowling pins, who then calmly get up and go about their business or comically try to beat us up; and on the other hand, we have a dramatic storyline with deaths and murders.”
    • “Gameplay is boring after the initial fun of the destructiveness wears off... total bummer.”
    • “A cyclical gameplay loop grows overly formulaic, causing destruction for the sake of it to become tedious without any challenge; the story is unrewarding and disjointed.”
  • humor
    51 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The humor in the game is widely praised for its clever and chaotic design, with many players enjoying the hilarious missions and absurd scenarios reminiscent of early GTA titles.

    • “A wild and hilarious take on the logistics life — highly recommend it for anyone who wants to unwind or pretend the rules don't exist for once!”
    • “Set in a hilariously over-the-top 1950s world, this game is all about destruction, speed, and absurd missions that’ll leave your jaw on the floor and your ride in flames.”

    • “I feel the voice acting is excellent and the graphics are a nice fit for the 1950's era the game is set in.”
    • “The graphics feel like old Sims.”
    • “I figured that the fixed perspective top-down view was chosen at least partially because it allowed the developers a more budget-friendly level of graphical fidelity, but that theory seems to get shot down by how many cutscenes feature long, close-up shots of blurry textures.”
    • “The game aspires to great narrative heights but severely lacks the graphical presentation to meet such lofty standards.”

  • optimization

    • “This is an exceptionally funny and atmospheric game with an awesome soundtrack.”

Overall, the enjoyable atmosphere and graphics are overshadowed by the monotonous grind.

    • “Gameplay loop wears down very quickly and gets just tedious.”
    • “But others, like the UFO photo hunt or toy car missions, feel out of place and tedious.”
    • “Another disappointment is the story; it's very tedious, way too long, way too overindulgent, and I must say that I started skipping dialogue after a third of the game and fully skipped cinematics after the halfway point.”

  • replayability
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Overall, the game's replayability is seen as lacking due to its scripted missions and limited side content, resulting in a repetitive experience that doesn't encourage multiple playthroughs. While some players appreciate the fun physics and visual appeal, many feel that the absence of diverse gameplay elements and meaningful content significantly diminishes its long-term engagement. However, a few users note that with budget pricing and some additional features, it can still offer surprising replay value.

    • “It's very appealing to look at and the physics are incredibly fun to play with, but the game is missing a large chunk of what makes these sorts of arcade games so replayable.”
    • “There were potentially hundreds of hours of content in this game, but it's like they forgot to include most of what makes these types of games replayable, and it suffered a bit when it really didn't need to at all.”
    • “And since all missions are scripted in the story, there's not much continuing replay value beyond driving a car around and smashing buildings.”
  • character development
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Character development is highlighted as a strong point, with each mission presenting unique challenges that enhance the narrative, while cut-scenes effectively contribute to deepening the characters' backstories and motivations.
