One of the strangest games I've ever played. You basically run around and collect parts for building various machines, all of which can be disassembled and reassembled for various upgrades. There's also something to do with kicking midget-babies and grabbing musical notes so you can sing to them, Pied Piper-style. I really haven't been able to translate the bizarre plot; all I know is you need to collect and build stuff to advance further. Chalk it up to poor translation from its native language to English, I think.

The graphics are suitable, and the music -- while original -- will get on your nerves after about ten minutes. The various brightly-colored areas all tend to look the same after a while. Also, there's no native gamepad support despite the fact that this type of game screams for it.

All in all, there just isn't enough variety in this game to make for an extended playthrough. There are much better "explore-and-build" games out there.

From the creators of the ultra-bleak Pathologic and The Void we get Cargo - a game about bright colours, surreal pythonesque humour and Fun. With a capital F, because it's the game's currency.

If you're familiar with their previous games, you can't help but feel that Ice Pick Lodge are really going all out to shake off the depressive image. But there are still some trademarks here. The game encourages creativity, not least of all with the vehicle designs. The game is far from conventional and carves its own path rather than sticking to tried and tested genre tropes and there is an unmistakably dark undercurrent to the whole game too. It's still very concerned with death, even in this seemingly carefree world.

It's by no means a conventional kind of game so don't expect something you can just pick up and play right away. It takes a while to get to grips with it, but it's rewarding to those who persevere.

This is one of those games that will make you go "huh?" at regular intervals while playing.

The game starts out slow, but after you've been playing for a while, and have gotten some parts to use, putting together vehicles is actually pretty satisfying. While the interface may not be as smooth as that of a game like 'Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts n' Bolts!', more realistic inertia means that piloting FEELS right in this game.

It's a very strange game, but for what it is, it's quite entertaining. The quirky characters are enjoyable enough to listen to, and some of the dialogue is quite witty.
