Cargo Please! is a simple delivery game that doesn’t ask much of you, which makes it a perfect wind-down option after a sweaty gaming session with your favorite music is playing in the background, but not necessarily much more than that.
In Cargo Please!, players are given a cheap, flimsy motorbike to make deliveries that range from medicine to mystery boxes containing items that alert every police unit in the city. Gas stations, airports, and mechanic shops all make deliveries easier, but none of it comes for free. Players have to manage their money wisely while completing deliveries without crashing their vehicle.
Our review found Cargo Please! to be a very simple game, with just enough challenge to keep it from feeling like a bore. This isn’t the kind of game you play for competitive fulfillment. It’s more the kind you play to zone out while keeping yourself busy with something.
Cargo Please! is enjoyable despite its constraints, though a big part of that enjoyment comes from its in-game radio.
The Good:
- The game radio’s music selection stands out as fresh and fun
- The default bike handles delivery runs smoothly
- Unlocking new cities introduces needed variety
The Bad:
- Intercity deliveries feel increasingly repetitive
- The game is not challenging at all

Cargo Please! is a little too simple, if still enjoyable
Developed by Cyber752 Games and published by indie.io, Cargo Please! is a simple simulation created around the satisfaction of accepting a delivery task and completing it. This isn’t a game you’d sit down to play for hours on end. It’s more of a palate cleanser; something to help vent off steam once you’re done with a more competitive game or a busy day of work.
We couldn’t help but think back to the side taxi missions in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City while playing it. Completing a delivery in Cargo Please! triggers that same sense of relief you’d feel finishing a quick taxi run to wind down right after crawling out of one of Vice City’s punishing main missions. Except there’s no storyline here, just a no-strings-attached ordering service that pays well when you complete a task safely.
Even visually, the game does a good job of inducing feelings of calm. At first, most roads look the same, but that changes once you reach level 20. That’s when you unlock your first new city, and the game feels new again. We personally like the roads of the desert city more than the default city, since they’re much more fun to ride a bike on. There are fewer sharp turns, and more long, highway-style roads that make longer deliveries fun.
At level 40, you unlock another city, which keeps the overall pace feeling fresh since you level up quickly. Deliveries within each city, however, can grow rather repetitive, and the orders start to feel quite similar from one to the next. Characters reappear too, which makes the stretch between unlocking cities feel a little boring.
We shook off that boredom by putting our hard-earned money to use in the shop. By default, you’re given a cheap motorbike, and it’s surprisingly easy to control and runs very smoothly. But if you want something fancier, you can spend the income you earn from deliveries at the mechanic shop to buy a bigger bike. We personally didn’t enjoy the $600 heavy bike, which earned us our first explosion because it was too hard to control.
The best part of the game, for us, was actually the Simulation Radio. We were mid-delivery when Ariana Grande’s latest music started playing. Given how tightly labels guard their music these days, we were genuinely surprised to hear a track that is currently in an indie game. It reminded us of GTA: Vice City, where the radio was always stacked with recognizable songs.
The radio also played classic hits by Justin Timberlake, and the selection alone earned some notice in our book. With scenic views and our $600 heavy bike, the music made for a smooth, relaxing experience. Traffic and pedestrians did make our deliveries less smooth, but they’re a welcome wrinkle since they’re the only real source of challenge in an otherwise easygoing game.
We like that Cargo Please! is simple, but it might just be too simple for its own good. For example, when you pick up mystery boxes, you’re slapped with a five-star wanted level, but it disappears the moment you complete the delivery. And if you don’t so much as cross paths with a police car, you don’t even get a ticket. There’s basically no risk involved in delivering mystery packages, no matter how illegal their contents are implied to be.
If you’ve played enough driving games, you won’t find dodging pedestrians and traffic all that challenging either, which strips away the only real source of tension the game has to offer. What’s left is a loop with almost nothing at stake.
Cargo Please! has no meaningful risk or stake involved, which makes the game easy to relax into but hard to stay invested in beyond that.
The Bottom Line: Cargo Please! may not hold your attention for long, and it definitely won’t much test your skills, but it has some great music and appreciably relaxing vibes.
Score: 6.5/10
