The fact that the game has as many positive reviews as it does is legitimately shocking to me. It is an incredibly repetitive, grindy packing simulator that is neither satisfying nor good at what it is supposed to do. I normally enjoy games of this kind, but this one is just plain bad. Let me explain. What you see in the first five minutes of the game is all you are going to get. There are some upgrades, but pretty …

The game is cute and fun in the first few hours, but gets boring way too fast so the 3 months achievement feels like a living hell to get, I wasn't putting any effort at some point, breaking things and not packing up properly/not putting stickers at all and it was still a very slow progress. I feel that if it was 2 months instead would be ok, less painfull, but dang almost 30 hours doing the exact same thing packing …

A cozy grind for multitaskers and serial podcast listeners Ship, Inc. is one of those “just a bit more” games that sneaks up on you: simple, colorful, and oddly satisfying… until you realize Day 50 feels exactly like the Day 1 tutorial. I played entirely in hardcore mode, unlocked every upgrade, and snagged all the non-grindy achievements (43/48 total). So trust me, I’ve spent enough time in the warehouse to earn my …

I really want to like the game but its just really boring. Its not poorly made or anything its just really, really boring. Once you ship your first box, you have seen everything the gameplay loop has to offer. If a really simple, borderline mobile game is what you're looking for this is probably a good fit. Im not gonna leave a negative review because i don't think the developers deserve it, but consider this review …

I’ve really been enjoying this chill game, it’s great to relax with in the evening. The orders are fun and the challenges are just challenging enough to make it a little difficult but not too high stress haha. The little drink bonuses are a nice touch. All the names of special items are very amusing and add charm to the game. And don’t forget the cat 🐱 Definitely recommend this if you’re a fan of sorting/unboxing …

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Truly, I don't know how this game's reviews are mostly positive. If you enjoy what you see in the trailer, buy this game, but if you want literally anything else, don't bother. I acquired every upgrade within a couple of hours before realizing there is absolutely nothing else happening, no story developing, no process changing, absolutely nothing different. The process of unboxing and organizing products on the table for packaging is agonizing because products glitch together and wiggle over…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Going live in just a minute trying a little game I've had on my backlog for a while. (I put a few on a spinner and had it decide 😂) But I'll be playing Ship Inc in just a few. And yes there's a cat who "helps" you. Lol www.twitch.tv/amberwolf_17
neutral · AI labelView post →I really don't like leaving negative reviews, especially for small games like this, but honestly, this was not my cup of tea. I bought it because it had "cozy" written all over it, but once I actually started playing, it was not very cozy at all. Low key high key felt like a mobile game. An early access mobile game, at that. How did they even manage to make a cat annoying? And what do you mean clothes are the most annoying thing to ship because you can't stack them together? Brother, they're…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Our cozy game Ship, Inc. got out of hand. 🚨 After 10 orders per day, it becomes a full-time job. But don't worry, we have a lot in store, from upgrades to special, shady and gift orders to break the repetitiveness! And a lot of upgrades to automate your orders! 📦✨ #gamedev #wholesomegames
neutral · AI labelView post →Overall I really enjoyed this one! As it's a bit grindy I mostly played it to wind down before bed or when I can't sleep because I find it relaxing in it's simplicity. What I Liked: It's casual and relaxing to play. I enjoyed the art and bright colors. Nothing was "trash" and you fix items that arrive broken. The game doesn't really punish you for anything, and when there IS a consequence for something (missing a sticker on a box or not filling a rush order before time is…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Ship Inc. quickly becomes tedious and repetitive, with boring progression and a buggy item-placement system. Despite its cozy appearance, it offers little reward beyond Steam achievements.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is a screenshot of the options menu in the newly released game Ship, Inc. by @rogueduck.net. (I'm not sponsored, just appreciative). THANK YOU FOR THIS! Man, I wish we could normalize accessibility stuff like this.
positive · AI labelView post →Lost But Found 100%~! 🏆 welp just like Ship, Inc the gameplay doesn't really evolve past the first 10 minutes, except the upgrades feel even less game changing lol. an ok turn-your-brain-off kinda game
neutral · AI labelView post →Game loop never evolves, this really does feel more phone game than steam. Click and drag forever, very few QOL improvements. It's fun to see and play around with for a couple hours, but even some of that time feels like you're just wondering when it'll evolve. True job simulator in that sense, though!

neutral · AI labelView post →The basic gameplay loop gets boring EXTREMELY fast. Once you've played a few in-game days, you've seen everything the game has to offer. Now do that for 90 in-game days and 500 orders to 100% the game. I had enough money to buy the house after the first in-game month, and was beyond done with the gameplay loop at that point, but still nowhere near 100% completing the game. It's very grindy, but the gameplay loop makes the grind extremely unfun because you can only pack so many of the same boxes…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's a fine enough game - it was too easy to upgrade everything and got so repetitive just trying to save up to buy the house. Unfortunately did request refund - I wish there was just a little more story-wise. After 2 hours, I just got bored... Not to mention, the game is quite glitchy. I found boxes inconsistently fit items, the truck is super glitchy - this game needs refining and added content.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It gets old so fast. I was really looking forward to getting this game as I really enjoy cozy shop games, but in this one you basically work for a faceless nameless company in the shipping department, its basically simulating working for Amazon. Print orders, unbox items, repackage items into new boxes with a delivery slip and the appropriate stickers, and send them off. That's the game loop. The minigames where you clean or fix items, they're the exact same puzzle every time. The vases and…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Meh, I have mixed feelings. I like the game, it's good, but once you buy all the upgrades (which only takes a couple hours), it just becomes a temu worker grind. It is no longer fun to make progress, you will play for 20 minutes and it will feel like hours.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Ship, Inc. was my offline game for the last couple weeks. I enjoyed unpacking and repacking boxes immensely. I was grinding for the last achievments but then they got rebalanced. Now, I'm finished with @rogueduck.net game and I highly recommend it if you're into casual job sims with humour 🏆
positive · AI labelView post →I was looking for something simple, cozy and fun. Technically this checks all the boxes, but has nothing that makes me want to keep playing. If there was a neutral review option, I suppose I'd have gone with that. The game is... fine, but just fine. Items don't stack, or sometimes half-stack, and there's no real intuitive way to know what will or won't overlap, so box selection isn't really worth taking the time to ponder. Just grab the biggest box. There's a grid on the table, but nothing…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →SURPRISE SURPRISE! ✨ Thanks to @rogueduck.net on Sunday I will finally play different game - Ship Inc! It's cute and it's cozy 👀💜 But what's even better I will have 2x game key codes for little giveaway 💜 See you at: www.twitch.tv/lavblueberry 💜 #furrylive
neutral · AI labelView post →One of those games that makes you wish there was a "meh" rating. For ten dollars, it's fine enough, but it gets very repetitive very quickly and doesn't really reward you for your efforts. The workspace often feels cluttered to the point of being claustrophobic especially with all of the unlockable doodads, the rush orders rush you to the point that you forget this game is supposed to be cozy, and I have no interest in going back for the last handful of achievements.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Sadly, it is too repetitive. Even though new items are unlocked, they do not add much to gameplay. This seems like an altered version of Lost and But Found. Like that game, there is a bug that prevents you put the items where you want them for no reason. I was bored in a couple of days unfortunately. Plus, developers added some companies as will be released soon long time ago and they moved on to different games. Also, one of the achievements is very grindy for no reason. Lastly, even though…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game would be more fun if things actually stacked within the boxes. There is no clear explanation for why sometimes you can layer things in a box and sometimes you can't.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Yeah, I'd recommend it at the right price, as with anything else. :) (I think it's for sure worth it at 50% off) It's cute! You can develop a routine, though I haven't found a way to keep the daily perk when starting the next day if I save and quit. When I enter the game, no perk, no chance to get daily perk. The achieves aren't too hard at all, though a few take some grinding. 90 in-game days was the longest for me to get. The game is about 1 GB. Ease of use is a plus! In the beginning, let…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fun way to spend a few hours. Repetitive enough to be soothing but challenging enough to keep you focused. Gets repetitive after a while. Getting 100% of achievements is no longer daunting, but it takes dedication. Great buy on discount. Edit: Most of the bugs were fixed in a patch 2025-10-28.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is nice if you like cozy games however it can be frustrating due to the lack of proper visuals of what can overlap or stack inside of boxes. I do wish that it was more challenging with the money aspect it gets kind of boring.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Developer of this game probably not even play the game, bugs are not fixed, timer not balanced
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The first couple hours the game feels fun but eventually it gets extremely boring. Same thing every day, there is no real goal, just buying small upgrades. After a couple days in game you probably already own every upgrade and the house. The game for me is also extremely laggy, after playing about an hour the game starts lagging insanely hard when there is a lot of items on your workbench, this should not be in issue with a high-end pc. The achievements are incredebly painfull to go…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's fine, I like packing boxes and saving for the upgrades but there's nothing much to do after getting all the upgrades. If you really want it, get it on sale.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →very similar to "lost and found" but not as good - by far. "ship, inc." gets old very, very quickly and it becomes a chore to play. you have to complete 90 days for an achievement and it took me 13 hours to do that. the game stopped being fun after about 7 because by then you have unlocked everything else and seen everything else. sure, i could have just stopped playing but i always feel like the achievements are there to show you what the devs want you to see. They feel like you should…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →As much as I like this game, I can't recommend it. I try to complete all achievements on my games, but this one has enough bugs and issues that I decided to discontinue playing this one. The main problem is that once you complete a day, if you save and quit then go back to it later, it puts you straight in the office (so you can't go back to do stuff like buy supplies or get the coffee beforehand). Even worse is when the game glitches out, such as one time when I was unable to even grab the…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Cozy game! It gets repetitive, yes. However, as someone with super intense anxiety, playing this is a good way for me to keep my mind off of the bad and focus on organization and remembering which hazard stamps to place.

Gets repetitive after a bit but still can keep ur focus if u interested getting all the achievements. Although the price for the game is acceptable for the experience it provides, I got it on sale and recommend for everyone to do the same. :)

neutral · AI labelView post →This is a mid game. First, it's a lot of drag-and-drop; you can navigate most of the game this way and it's the only way to pack boxes and apply packing materials to ship them correctly. Playing this game WILL give you hand strain because of all the clicking. After you save and quit, you are automatically started in the next day when you reopen the game without the opportunity for powerups you would otherwise be able to purchase-- even if you purchased them for that day before quitting.

positive · AI labelView post →On paper, I should have loved this. And I did, initially; but as the game went on, it became far more of a slog. I enjoy the idea behind it, the item variety and presentation but honestly... so much of the game was simply annoying. Pros: - quite a few items. Good to be able to have more items as you 'level up' vendors - nice and colourful - music is calming... Cons: - ...but there is only like... 1 track? You can buy an 'upgrade' to change the tune of it, but honestly it's then all the same -…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great game, plays fine, but has a harry potter reference. Shame I only found it after two hours had past, would have refunded it immediately.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Overall Personal Opinion: 9.1/10 Ship Inc. is a beautifully cozy, packaging simulator game. If you liked Unpacking or even Papa’s Pizzeria games, there’s a good chance you’ll enjoy Ship Inc. too. The mechanics feel fleshed out, though sometimes it’s confusing why items cannot fit into the box, it takes almost an in-game month to realize that if one item is fully covering another, both items cannot fit. It is above all a puzzle game in trying to find the best ways to fit items into a box to…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Yes it might be repetitive and there are no real repercussions but it is a great game to space out to. If you need to turn off your brain in between bigger games this one is for you. If you get bored by repetitive gameplay and no story progression you should look at other games. A colour game that you can use to escape for a short while.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very addictive - great for an over active mind to allow focus - love it! Love that it has adjustable settings for autism/adhd players so it isnt overwhelming also! great cosy game
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Wish there were an option to abstain from recommendation rather than just a Yes/No. The game is fine, but it's frustrating to control if you don't have a touchscreen or use a drawing tablet or something. The gameplay loop also becomes pretty mind numbing after about an hour, and it's really easy to get distracted and forget things. Some actual gripes: - Save/Quit and Continue immediately sends you to the next day. - Stolen items will not show up when you try to sell to the shady guy half the…
