Cargo! is a little on the short side (I finished it in five hours and probably could've improved on that), but it delights and surprises at every turn as it propels you through its frankly baffling narrative. Much like Ice-Pick Lodge themselves, you'll never quite be able to predict what it's going to throw at you next.
Dear Ice-Pick lodge, we have a feeling that your game might be a masterpiece if tweaked and worked a little further. And don't say that you weren't inspired by Psychonauts. We won't believe anyway. [July 2011, p.121]

This is one of the better games I have played! It is so unique and strange there is nothing quite like it. The art and voice acting are primo. The story is about the end of earth I guess and you have to harvest fun from the buddies who are these strange creatures. You take them for rides and make chains of them and do various other things for the gods of this beautifully crafted world. Check this game out if you want to see something different from the normal non creative first person shooter.

Crazy and fun game. Like other games from Ice-Pick Lodge, it stands out for its visual style and soundtrack. A distinctive feature of the game is the vehicle editor, thanks to which players can realize many of their bold fantasies.

Ice-Pick Lodge attacks again with a strange game what brings an unexpected pleasure of building your own vehicles, exploring the surreal world with reflection on the past and the future of the world. [June 2011]
A rather good little game, but it's a game held back by its own compulsion to be ambiguous, not to mention the staggering lack of things to do outside of its enigmatic objectives and vehicle building.
There's that feeling that I should have fun playing the game, but most of the time I'm bored or angry because the controls are buggy. But if you like to be creative, maybe you'll be happy in this colourful world.
Proof that gleeful surrealism does not automatically indicate arthouse brilliance. [Aug 2011, p.74]
Had a chance of being good but the confusing goals make it a bit of a flop. The voice acting could use some work too. It sounds like one person made all of it and didn't really know what they were doing. The vehicle creator is neat but it's really limited as far as what pieces you can place and where.

Search for Cargo floating around and use this debris – from the Statue of Liberty to Big Ben and the Eiffel Towner to stake out new lands. Boasting a completely fres...
