Death Noodle Delivery Review, It’s your first day of work for Death Noodle Delivery Inc. Ride your hoverboard and try to survive in a cyberpunk world on the brink of collapse. Deliver the noodles, hack the hoverboard, and build cat bombs. You may find that this world hides a filthy secret.

Death Noodle Delivery Review Pros:

It has decent graphics with a nice neon tint.
1.04GB download size.
Platinum trophy.
In-game art for character interactions.
Great soundtrack.
Uses a cool old-school-looking computer database/mainframe.
Find and discover websites to visit from your apartment.
Multiple choice encounters.
Many memorable and unique characters to meet and make friends with.
The story revolves around AI taking jobs, the financial crisis, and generally a glimpse into our future.
You can upgrade your hoverboard and then try it out in your VR simulator program.
By day you deliver noodles in a homage to the Paper Boy style sequence. Avoid obstacles and outrun thieves to deliver noodles.
At night it’s a more side-on affair with you talking with neighbors, getting upgrades, etc.
The noodle delivery is an isometric 3D space whilst the 2D is just that bit with a 3D backdrop.
At the end of your shift, you have to ride along the freeway and avoid obstacles.
If you die, or hit something when delivering or going home you restart the sequence again.
Handy icon pop-ups for interactions.
Cool loading screens.

Death Noodle Delivery Review Cons:

No game options.
Doesn’t allow you to remap the controls.
The opening half hour or so is really slow, the music is the type that makes you feel drowsy, and coupled with slow movement it all adds up to an ordeal.
There are no sound effects which only amplifies the music more which again is a bit much.
When on the hoverboard it is really hard to see people, obstacles, etc.
The general vibe of the game is that of a slow pace.
Restarts are slow.
It’s not a game personally I would stick with for long as it just never feels like it gets going.
