Easy Delivery Co Review: A relaxing delivery game that’s easy to be lost in

It’s been almost two weeks since Easy Delivery Co. released on mobile at the time of writing, and from the moment I first saw it, I was thinking: “Yeah, I need to play this.” Last week, I finally got my hands on it, and ever since, I’ve just been relaxing on the road.

Picking up deliveries, getting lost more times than I’d like to admit, spending way too much on energy drinks, and just roaming around this cold, quiet mountain town. I went in thinking this would be a cozy delivery game where I was excited to relax, but it offered its own ways of fun.

After spending a good chunk of time exploring and unlocking new cities for four to five hours on my small screen, here’s my full review of Easy Delivery Co., the goods and the bads, if any, the experience, visuals, and everything else explained with my verdict.

A simple gameplay loop that just works fantastically

I think on the gameplay side, I don’t need to explain much; you already know how this goes. Still, let me not be so lazy, I’m a delivery lad now, after all. So in this game, the loop is you pick up orders, deliver them, earn money, upgrade your truck, and repeat. That’s pretty much it, and somehow it just works.

You begin your journey in a mountain region split into three areas: Upton, Weston, and Easton. I’d call myself a “Upton lad” now. My cozy cabin at the Snowy Peaks sits closer to that side, yes, but I’ve started my journey there and completed my first task in that area, so I’ve already claimed it as home. Might even settle there at this point. Okay, I’ll stop the daydream.

At the start, I’ll be honest, I had no idea what I was doing. No clear objectives, no big markers guiding me around, and everyone in the area confused me with someone called Seb, so they took some time to recognize I wasn’t this guy who seemingly doesn’t exist.

On the progression side, from the deliveries you take, small tasks are completed, and you slowly unlock more routes and opportunities. I just drove, picked up tasks, and explored. Some jobs pay well, some barely feel worth it, but it is up to you about what to take and what not. Being smart here about the deliveries is important, though.

It is freezing out there, so brew yourself a coffee and make safe deliveries

Driving is basically the whole game, and thankfully, it feels good, pretty simple, and easy to understand. You get both third-person and first-person camera options, and I found myself switching between them depending on the situation. Both work well, although I really wish there were an option to freely look around using touch in the 3rd person view.

Fuel is another thing to manage, and yes, they are super costly, $29.99 for a full tank. The guy at the gas station is a bit arrogant, too. But I felt it wasn’t an issue; my truck is a very fuel-efficient one, although it doesn’t like it if I have the tailgate open.

There are light survival mechanics in play, and they matter more than you’d expect. You need to keep an eye on your energy levels, because once you’re exhausted, your movement slows down. That becomes a problem when you step outside your truck, because the cold here is brutal.

Stay out too long, and you freeze to death. So naturally, you rely on energy drinks early on. A lot of them. I probably spent more on energy drinks than fuel at one point, which says a lot. Later, you can brew coffee, which is much more efficient, but getting to that point takes time.

Deliveries themselves are not just pick and drop either. Your cargo actually sits in the back of your truck, and if you drive as I did, a bit rashly, things will move around. Boxes fall, bottles roll, and definitely after damage, your payout takes a hit.

I’ve had my fair share of accidents and damaged deliveries, so there’s a good bit of realism here. If your truck isn’t packed properly, smaller items will keep moving, so yeah, be a sensible driver, or they’ll cut your cost. Pick up your Snow Tires as quickly as possible.

UI, Visuals, and Music: All tick the right boxes

Now, coming to one of my favourite parts, the visuals and music. I really loved the art style. It’s this low-poly, retro kind of look, and it just works. Looks smooth, clean, and fits the game perfectly. Works brilliantly on my phone as well, which is a Xiaomi 15 Ultra. The world itself is something I didn’t expect.

The cities aren’t fancy, just small towns, quiet roads, and areas that are a bit abandoned to my liking. I’ve only seen crows on the road (birds would be a better name), so no cars passing. There was this one moment when I was heading towards Weston, crossing a foggy bridge from afar, and that was it.

You do meet people, though. They’re there in shops and locations, but they have this doll-like appearance. Not scary, but enough to give you a slight chill for the first time. But they are cute when you meet them after that.

Night drives are something else. Snow falling, soft lighting, calm roads, and the music in the background just make it feel really relaxing. But for me, mornings were the best, especially in Easton. It looked so vibrant and beautiful, and I enjoyed just driving around during that time. Yeah, you can tell I hate foggy drives now.

The music deserves a mention too. Very calm, very mild, and fits perfectly with the whole snowy setting. You tune in to your radio, can change channels, and pick your vibe. The UI style of your old system came along amazingly well with all of these.

A proper premium experience

This is a full experience, no tricks around it. You buy the game, and that’s it. There are no online options with other players. I think that would have been an idea I would have loved to compete in: who’s going to make more deliveries against other players? And if you’re on iOS, there’s even a demo available, so you can try it out before deciding.

Final Verdict

Easy Delivery Co. is a simple game, but it ends up being more than that once you spend time with it. Driving around, managing deliveries, dealing with the cold, and slowly understanding how everything works, it all comes together really well. It’s relaxing, a bit mysterious at times, and a head scratcher, and just enjoyable overall.

I do wish the game were longer. That’s probably my only real complaint. For $12.99, it justifies its price perfectly. You need to take it slow; this is not something you rush. You play it when you want to relax, take a break, and just drive around.
