Hello everybody and welcome to a new game review. It’s currently Summer up in the Northern Hemisphere and some of us could really use the cold air. If you’re down South, you probably experience that cold air already.
Either way, this is relevant because we’re looking at a game that takes place entirely in the snow. It’s Easy Delivery Co… where you pack your truck up and go… and watch your profits grow… and the cold winds blow. Easy Delivery Co. is an indie game that was released on September 18, 2025 and actually just recently had an update that added a new game mode. In the same vein as some other driving games I’ve reviewed like Victory Heat Rally and Old School Rally, this game is characterized by its retro-styled look, appearing as if it came out on the PlayStation 1.
Easy Delivery Co. was developed by a single person who only goes by the name of Sam C. To my knowledge, there’s no other games they have developed that are publicly available, so we’re looking at the sole digital footprint of a creator. How does their contribution hold its own? Time to relax by the roaring campfire and find out.
Truckin' Along
Easy Delivery Co. is a delivery driving game where your only job is to deliver cargo around, make money, and buy things. You are an unnamed anthropomorphic cat who works as a delivery driver, driving a kei truck based on a Honda Acty, in a mountainous town where the roads are fairly treacherous and it’s always snowing. There are no other vehicles on the road at any point in the game, so it’s just you and your package braving the elements.
As a delivery driver, your job is naturally to make deliveries. Throughout the game, you’ll drive around the map to pick up an object for delivery and bring it to a destination. Sometimes it’ll just be a short drive to the other side of town, or it might be a long trek to the other side of the world map. Your payment is then roughly based on the distance you drove and the weight of the object, but as kei trucks don’t normally have closed storage areas, you can’t drive too crazily or else your load might fall out of the truck, which gives you a payment penalty.
Your packages aren’t the only thing you need to manage though. It’s a cold, brutal world out there. You’ll need to use your money to buy food and drinks to keep your energy levels up, and you’ll need to stay warm in the freezing temperatures. Parts of the map will also be locked off until you can buy certain upgrades for your truck, so you’ll need to make a lot of deliveries, while also juggling your money to keep yourself healthy and warm and also trying to progress through the game. Just like in real life, keeping yourself in good condition is no easy feat.
Not everything is business though. There are also a number of cosmetic items you can find, like bobbleheads for the inside of your truck and scarves for your character to wear.
Chillin' and Chilling
This game does have a free camera mode, but its controls are basically non-existent, so it was really difficult to get good images for this review.
Up until playing this game, I had never done anything in my life that made me feel both cozy and terrified at the same time, but this game will make you feel exactly that. Its low-poly PS1 aesthetic is nostalgic and comfortable to me, coupled with an enjoyable lo-fi soundtrack that puts you in a bit of a trance while playing. Being the only person on the road provides a sense of isolation from the rest of the town, but also a strangely “easy” feeling knowing that you can just drive from point A to point B without much worry.
This isolated feeling is accompanied by the fact that your only means of knowing where you are is simply your own intuition. You have a map, and it does have markers on it to tell where your pickup and dropoff points are, but there’s nothing on it that tells you where you are. You’re all alone out there on the road, and you just have to rely on your perception to be able to tell what part of the map you’re on. This means that you’re safe to turn your brain off a little bit as you drive, but you’ll need to keep at least a little bit of it still on as you navigate.
I will admit that the game does start off quite slow to get going, and because you constantly need to maintain yourself and your truck, your progression may not be as fast as you want it to be. Still, provided you hold out a little bit longer, the game will pull you in little by little. One such component as to why is the story. At first, Easy Delivery Co will probably seem like an innocent little driving game with a snowy PS1 atmosphere, but you will start picking up on details the more you play until it eventually hits you that something isn’t quite right.
The game is constantly finding the stride of making you comfortable, but not too comfortable. It's every definition of chilly/chilling. It's chilly outside with the cold weather, it's chill because it relaxes you, but then you get that chilling feeling when you're running out of fuel and have little money left.
Ain't Snow Mountain High Enough
Easy Delivery Co is certainly a unique experience. You might find yourself stuck in the snow for a bit, especially starting out, and it might take a while to truly get over that snowbank, but it’s a game with a lot of atmosphere and if you enjoy the sight of winter or the PS1 graphics, you’ll be able to jump right in and start loving it immediately.
You should also know that the game is a bit on the short side. It took me somewhere in the realm of 7-8 hours to finish the game with all of the achievements. This is about the same amount of time it took for me to finish Super Woden: Rally Edge, which has the same price tag as Easy Delivery Co. I do think the length hurts this game less than it does for Rally Edge for reasons I can’t quite explain, but it’s something to be wary about if you tend to prefer longer games.
Speaking of which, there was recently a new “rally” mini-game added, and… it’s honestly not that fun. The truck’s physics are a lot more slippery, which does not combine well with the fact that your truck can actually become damaged now. I tried it for a little while, then decided it wasn’t worth it, so I dropped it. Stick with the original game.
Pros
Relaxing, but energetic lo-fi soundtrack.
Comfortably nostalgic aesthetic.
Good driving physics (in normal mode).
Cons
Short length.
Bad driving physics (in rally mode).
Pixelated Portage
Easy Delivery Co is not a game for everyone on account of its short length and slow pace, but its atmosphere and visual charm provides a lot for players to love as they take some delivery drives.
If you love the PS1 and/or winter-y calm vibes of this game and are willing to put in the time to get past the slow beginning, it will provide a short, but satisfying burst of entertainment.
I bought my copy on Steam, but as far as I'm aware, you can buy it for basically any modern device. Even on mobile.
