This game may be available on other platforms. XBOX Series X/S, XBOX One (Microsoft Store).Windows, macOS (Steam, Epic Games Store).You don’t have to take on specific tasks, you can just goof around.If you like multiplayer sessions, that descend into chaos, this game is for you.Controls and physics are so bad, you’ll inevitably laugh.However, if you just want to fool around with your friends in a sandbox, you’ll probably like this game. In fact, it doesn’t offer any story at all. “Totally Reliable Delivery Service” does not offer creative tasks, stunning visuals or a thrilling story. ![]() This is a game for quick laughs, not for ambitious gameplay. It’s technically a coop game, but most of the time there is no need to actually cooperate. You can use cars, buggies and even helicopters to speed up the process. Invite up to 3 friends to help you deliver packages. It’s impossible to deliver a package without causing several traffic accidents, run into each other or loosing your stuff on the way. The controls are inaccurate and physical reactions are overexaggerated. You can do many things in this game, but you can’t possibly operate a totally reliable delivery service. TinyBuild GAMES provided us with a Totally Reliable Delivery Service PS4 code for review purposes.Try to deliver packages quickly in a big sandbox with clunky physics and wobbly characters. You?ll experience pretty much everything it has to offer in the first few minutes of playing it, and it?s the sort of game best experienced as part of a YouTube compilation, rather than something you need to play on your own. In other words, Totally Reliable Delivery Service is the definition of a one-note joke that wears out its welcome pretty quickly. After all, there are only so many times you can flop around helplessly before it stops being funny. ![]() I?ll admit that I only played the game solo, so it?s quite possible things are improved by the presence of other people, but even still, I can?t see how that would make it substantially better. Sure, the packages change, but it?s still all Point A to Point B while fighting with lousy physics. Which is the other big flaw with Totally Reliable Delivery Service: it gets really repetitive really fast. While it may be fun once or twice, when it happens over and over again, the humour evaporates pretty quickly. ![]() One time, trying to get into a plane, I ended up rolling around beneath the wing, unable to do anything else. Sometimes I?d make it in, but just as frequently I?d phase through the vehicle entirely. Similarly, any time I tried getting into a vehicle - which is a must in this game, seeing as you have an open world full of deliveries to make - it was a hit-or-miss proposition. Like, one time I dropped a package off in the designated area, and my character ended up getting stuck as well. Unfortunately, there are plenty of times where the flailing and the falling feel more like a design flaw than something intended to make the game more enjoyable. On top of that, some of the packages are explosive, which means the game makes good use of its ragdoll physics. Much like Human Fall Flat or QWOP, you have far more control over your driver?s limbs than you would in most other games, and the resulting flailing is good for a laugh or two. You (and friends, if you want) control - in the loosest sense of the term - a klutzy delivery driver, and you have to try and deliver all kinds of packages from Point A to Point B. It?s not that the basic idea isn?t fun - it is. Where a game like Goat Simulator occasionally reached some surprisingly impressive highs if you stuck with it long enough, with Totally Reliable Delivery Service, you?ll find that the whole thing has diminishing returns pretty quickly. That said, I think Totally Reliable Delivery Service comes a lot closer to that line than Goat Simulator ever did. Like Goat Simulator years ago, it?s broken in a lot of ways…but it?s intentionally broken, which makes it difficult to tell where the line is between bad on purpose and just plain bad. It?s hard to review a game like Totally Reliable Delivery Service.
