LOGistICAL 3: Earth

What I thought it was: A game of logistics puzzles with supply chains and route/economy management. What it is: "This endpoint needs 2 tons of clay, so drag and drop the clay from the production point to the consumer point and wait until the truck arrives. Great, now do this 1 billion more times." To clarify, you have to do every delivery by hand and it's just the same thing over and over with different goods. I don't know what exactly the puzzles were supposed to be.

This is my escape.

This is a forever game. You will be playing it for the rest of your life. It's a chill, relaxed experience. No twitching, no action, just a sort of very low key vibe for when you want to deliver some aluminum to Istanbul to make bicycles.

LOGistICAL Earth is probably the most hours per (any) currency you could get on the steam store. Thousands of hours in and you're probably still far from completing it. Well worth it

The user interface has to be among some of the most atrocious designs in video game history. But the game is fun.

I don't know what this game does for me. It scratches some strange itch. The graphics are something you could run on a computer for 20 years ago. There's only like 5 sounds. It has it's glitches, and perhaps that adds to it's odd charm. This game is for a very small number of people. I guess I'm just one of them.

作業ゲーが好きな人におすすめ。 地球全体を舞台に物流の需要を満たすゲーム。 現状200時間近くプレイしているが、まだまだ序盤という感じ。 最初はカリブ海の小さな島から始まるが、 絶妙な塩梅でハードルが設定されており、 国境（や大きな国の州境）を超えるのはいつもかなり苦労する。 クッキークリッカーの実績コンプには4800時間かかったが、 このゲームの実績コンプには、たぶんそれ以上のプレイ時間が必要。 放置ゲーではなくみっちり作業してその時間である。 このゲームの実績をコンプしている人は、なかなか頭おかしい。 これからゲームを始める人のために、 「そんなルール聞いてなかったよ！」 と思ったポイントをいくつか書いておく。 ・トラックはアップグレードで海を渡ることが可能 　近海のフェリー航路だけ移動できるのと、外洋も移動できるのと2種類ある。 ・産業はアップグレード可能 　最大レベルまでアップグレードすると、その産業を他の国で購入できる（ただし国による） ・トラックをドラッグしたとき、未探索の地点が赤い点で表示される。 　赤い点が表示されているところは隅々まで探索しよう。 （約300時間で追記） ・リスト上でCtrlやShift＋クリックすることで、トラック等の複数選択が可能 　人口数十万以上の都市をクリアするには必須。 ・Contractのメモに、システムに関する超重要な知識がさらっと書かれてることがある 　めんどくさいけど、ちゃんと読もう。 （約400時間で追記） ・古いセーブデータをこまめに削除すること。1～2日分だけ残せば十分。 　増えすぎるとSteamクラウドで同期されなくなる。 ・列車と飛行機しかアクセスできない都市や空港は、3,4個スロットを満たせばトラックもアクセスできるようになる。

This game is a massive undertaking, with thousands upon thousands of goals to meet. There are lots of puzzles to solve, all similar yet somehow completely different. Prepare to lose sleep and forget to eat just to complete that one more town.

Quite a unique game full of intriguing puzzles and interesting facts. Pros and cons : + Many puzzles to solve. E.g. you have to provide certain goods to certain places to unlock the border crossings to an adjacent country. + Many different kinds of goods (567+), many of which are unique to some country. Uniqueness can later be removed so you can build that industry in your preferred place. The hardest to unlock ones give great global boosts as well. + Can build own industries. Depending on the country you can build some or all types (that you have unlocked so far). + Can build own train stations (but not railways, truck stations, ports or airports unfortunately). + Can buy and use cars, trucks, planes, trains and ships of various sizes and qualities. + Can buy upgrades for vehicles, e.g. "floaties" for trucks which allows them to traverse rivers and even oceans. + Unlimited amounts of some types of vehicles such as trains and planes. For others you can unlock extra slots via certain criteria. + Can play with or without "consumption", i.e. goods are slowly disappearing after you've delivered a part of them. If played without (Zen mode) then you need to deliver 10 times as many. + So big that it's basically impossible to finish completely. + Enormous amounts (many tens of thousands) of cities, airports, museums and other real life sightseeing locations to unlock. + Can add your own comments and pictures to places and vote on others' comments (which you can see in your game so it's a little onlineish). + Robust autosave over many slots for a configurable timespan, no need for manual saves. Make sure to exit via the tiny bar at the top right to save upon exit. +/- Some freedom in the order of countries but can feel linear at times. +/- You can see your score per location and compare them to others' if you care about that. - Some bugs like certain cities not connecting to roads or railways. - Screens get stuck sometimes and rarely it crashes too. Robust autosave from above helps here. - Can not drag vehicles from some places both ways, e.g. big planes from small airports, even though it's legal. - Clunky interface, can not reorder vehicles easily and misclicks often happen because of clutter. - So much dragging and dropping, make sure to rest your arm properly ;) - Just 5 sounds of no particular quality, I quickly played without sound. - Outdated graphics, too pixelated. - Fixed map, would be great with random maps. - Can not choose starting country, it's always Martinique.

A clunky masterpiece
