LOGistICAL: Brazil

Disclosure: I received a free key for this game for beta testing purposes. If you're unfamiliar with the Logistical series, I recommend trying out the free demo of the game ("LOGistICAL: ABC Islands"), and then moving on to another module such as Oregon or the base game (Australia) before purchasing this, as the gameplay is radically different from a normal entry in the series. They're fantastic games well worth playing, but this specific module is not the best entry point. If you are familiar with Logistical, Brazil is a new entry with about 2,000 towns and no consumption. This means that the module operates very similarly to the Xmas 2017 content addition, where towns are absolutely massive and the challenge lies in having a proper supply chain set up rather than in making sure towns are being completed as efficiently as possible. If you haven't played the Xmas module yet, it's available for free alongside every copy of the game, so you should test that out first to see if the style of gameplay suits you. Towns in Brazil are much smaller than towns in Xmas, and there are a lot more of them (nearly 10x as many), but the general gameplay experience is fairly similar.

LOGistICAL Brazil is an relaxing idle version of LOGistICAL without goods consumption.

Another fantastic addition to the LOGistICAL family. This module takes some of its cues from the free xmas2017 module, such as a complete lack of town goods consumption. This makes for fairly idle gameplay, perfect for playing alongside another more active module. There are some very complex locked industry chains to solve, which is where the difficulty (such as it is) comes in. If you like LOGistICAL, this is for you.

[b]This is a copy of my review for the [url=http://store.steampowered.com/app/573060/LOGistICAL/]original game[/url]. Most of my time is going into that one. [i]For now[/i].[/b] There are few things new buyers should be aware of: [olist][*]This game is not in any shape or form similar to Transport Tycoon. You won't be optimizing routes, building long-lasting production chains, planning complex routes for dozens upon dozens vehicles, etc, etc. Instead you will be managing up to 15 not-so-smart trucks making sure they can fulfill demands of each and every town you find. Which can get a bit hectic. [*]This game is for patient people. You probably won't experience the real difficulty it can throw at you for a while (and by that I mean many hours of preparation and unlocking every tool the game can offer you) [*]Many reviews mention "having to overcome UI", well, it got much better. And it keeps improving. In all honesty, being late to the party, I haven't had much trouble with figuring it out. [*]This is not an achievement spam game. Each and any of the achievements require work. Sure, some are extremely easy, but some others are very hard.[/olist] As for the game itself, it's the most addicting purchase I made in years. After playing for few hours I just bought everything that was available at the moment, because I knew I'll play it eventually. It might not be for everyone, probably far from it, but it's a great game if you can see its charm.

Another fantastic addition to the LOGistICAL family. This module uses idle gameplay, perfect for playing alongside another more active module. There are some very complex locked industry chains to solve, which is where the challenge happens. I like more active versions of this game, but this is still pretty fun if you enjoy Logistical. 7/10

great game series i love these puzzle type games

I love this series. As of this writing I have over 1900 hours played across all different LOGistICAL games.

Amazing game

Over a thousand hours of fiddling about while listening to podcasts.

Much like the global part of ABC Islands, this is Logistical as an idle game, where towns don't consume deliveries so you're free to do them as quickly or slowly as you like. There's still some strategy to the game though, and figuring out the puzzles was fun. A different take on Logistical, that I would recommend to fans of the base game and idle games.
