Paperman: Adventure Delivered

A greedy dragon turns a postal service’s million-delivery celebration into a colorful rescue mission, scattering priceless golden letters across far-flung worlds. Paperman: Adventure Delivered is a cheerful 3D collectathon platformer built around bright environments, cartoon villains, and the simple satisfaction of finding every last secret. The adventure begins after the dragon raids the post office’s special shipment, leaving a small team of delivery workers to recover the mail before his hoard grows any larger. Its tone is light and family-friendly, but the later platforming asks for sharper movement and careful use of each hero’s skills.

Players search sprawling stages for letters, collectibles, character-specific items, and routes hidden behind ability-based obstacles. Paperman can attack with thrown letters and blink across short gaps, while speedster Express handles urgent routes, Scrolly glides to elevated areas, and heavyweight Carl moves the largest parcels. Swapping between the four carriers is central to progression: a ledge, locked route, or distant collectible that seems impossible with one character often becomes accessible with another. Three themed regions provide the main journey, from the statue-filled Manyfaced Island to desert pyramids and the more demanding parkour courses of Winding Peak. Enemies and hazards keep exploration active, though the emphasis remains on traversal and completion rather than difficult combat.

Its strongest idea is the four-character setup, which gives the familiar mascot-platformer formula a cooperative puzzle-solving angle instead of relying on one all-purpose hero. Each world rewards returning with the right delivery worker, making full completion more engaging than simply following the main path. Local split-screen support for up to four players also makes the search for mail a solid couch co-op option, with friends able to cover ground and tackle obstacles together. Fans of accessible collectathons in the vein of Spyro or modern platforming adventures should find plenty to enjoy, while newcomers get a forgiving, colorful introduction to the genre.
