You directly control both of your arms, with the left mapped to ZL and the right mapped to ZR. Granted, the game deliberately throws as many obstacles in your way as it possibly can, including exploding manholes and tree trunks rolling down hills, but even a simple task like picking up a box and hauling it into the back of a truck is infuriatingly complex. The simple act of delivering your packages is no better. If so, we’re not impressed, and we don't think you will be, either. It’s baffling that the devs got such basic controls mixed up like this – our best guess is that these are the controls from the Xbox version, and they simply forgot to change them when bringing the game to the Switch, but a small part of us feels like they intentionally mixed the controls around to screw with players even more. We’re not sure whether this was intentional or not, but these instructions are blatantly incorrect in reality, jumping is mapped to A, and diving is mapped to B. Like many games, Totally Reliable Delivery Service lets you know the basic controls via simple pops ups as you’re walking around – it tells you that you can jump by pressing B, and dive by pressing A. Things get pretty hairy right from the start. Either way, you’re going to have a pretty bad time. Or, if you wish, you can simply flex your muscles and carry the packages around manually. You’ll have access to a wide range of vehicles to assist in this task, including trucks, forklifts, helicopters, boats, and even hot air balloons. You take on the role of a delivery driver within a bland, ugly open-world consisting of a group of small islands, tasked with delivering packages to their intended destinations in the quickest time possible whilst minimising damage. It really feels, though, that We’re Five Games are playing some kind of elaborate joke with Totally Reliable Delivery Service, because this is one of the most frustratingly awkward, broken games we’ve played in ages, and we get the distinct feeling that this was the developer's intention – at least, to a certain degree. ![]() ![]() Normally, a game’s quality – or lack thereof in many cases – is a direct result of budgetary limitations, time restrictions, unexpected bugs, and many, many more variables. We’re quite sure game devs don’t go out of their way to make a bad game. Even exploring the world is enjoyable, as it's chock full of toys, vehicles, and machines that can be used for work or play.Captured on Nintendo Switch (Handheld/Undocked) Whether or not you progress the deliveries as you are supposed to, there is a lot of fun to be had here. ![]() A bit like Go Vacation it's the sort of game kids love because adults don't get it. ![]() If kids enjoy Roblox games, and aren't worried about the odd glitch or janky controls will enjoy this. It's like Octodad in that some will find it just too hard to play, while others (particularly the young) will love messing around the world and pranking other players. You will spend a lot of time falling over, dropping things, crashing and generally getting flung around the place. The game is intentionally difficult, whacky and complex to control. Because you can grip onto anything in the world, even other players, the game often becomes a cascade of hilarious and unintended consequences. The characters and game world simulates (and exaggerates) real physics, that you have to work with to get around, pick up things and use the variety of vehicles on offer. Totally Reliable Delivery Service is a package delivery game, where you use different means to get parcels to their rightful owners within the time limit.
