Parcel Corps

[b][h1]RECOMMEND with caveats[/h1][/b] Once you understand the controls the gameplay is a lot of fun and worth the 8 USD, but the lack of a catchy soundtrack and too many times the game breaks up the game flow which undercuts the experience. When I learned there were four more areas with a gameplay loop basically exactly the same ten hours in, I knew I’d probably had as much fun with Parcel Corps as I could. [b][h2]PROS:[/h2][/b] • Once you learn the controls the gameplay is a blast. Learning the shortcuts and how best to exploit them is this game’s greatest strength • Delivery rushes are where the gameplay is at its best between trying to optimize your routes, deciding whether to grab another delivery or head straight to your first delivery. When you’ve unlocked all the vendors each areaa the mode is a lot of fun. • The environments and art style are colorful. I don't love the art style for NPCs but they're certainly memorable. • For better or worse, ramming through a crowd of civilians is absolutely hilarious. [b][h2]CONS:[/h2][/b] • I am 7.5 hours into the game and the gameplay loop in all four areas has been 97% exactly the same. While there's some variation in the vendor…

I enjoyed it for the most part. Didn't have much technical issues. I was wanting to play a 3D platformer that I can speed through and this game scratched that itch more or less. It's sitting at Mixed at the moment but honestly if this game was sitting at Overwhelmingly Positive or Very Positive I would not have batted an eye. Worth giving it a try (I did get it when it was heavily discounted). The game might feel slow at first and the map might seem kinda boring but the map does get more interesting and it makes the game faster since you get downward slopes and rails to grind on and so on. Satisfying when you get good at the game and the level, and you easily get to that hard to reach delivery spot that was giving you trouble earlier.

Hey maybe instead of wasting time on stupid cringy live action cutscenes make the map not glitch out at least once an area?

This is a true hidden gem! Cruising around the colorful and spacious areas, hitting sweet trick lines like Tony Hawk's Pro Skater, is such a treat!

I'm keeping this short. Very short. The gameplay is a blast, it blends the gameplay of 'Jet Set Radio' with the goals of 'Crazy Taxi' to blend a fun and addictive time. Rushing from point a to point b is fun. Dialogue is an absolute pain here, it's one of the only games I actually skip cutscenes for. It tries to satirize corporations and politics, but fails as every piece of dialogue feels like "millennial slop," as it not only goes on and on but doesn't introduce characters you like. It reminds me of 'Dead Island 2,' as I enjoyed the gameplay, but absolutely dread having to listen to the characters speak. I don't know why this game is always online as it doesn't really do anything. Why am I playing with other players to then be able to matchmake with others, it's just weird and unnecessary. I got the game for a dollar something on 'Fanatical' so I would recommend it, even if I spent a couple more dollars. The gameplay itself is what I'm here for and it's enjoyable and skipping the cutscenes is easy enough.

underbaked mechanics, uninteresting level design, clunky controls. art style is fine enough.
