LOGistICAL: Caribbean

This is a great entry in the Logistical game empire. It has some interesting twists and puzzles, some of which may have you scratching your head for a bit to figure them out (or looking for spoilers if you get stuck - the Logistical community is great), and it will keep you busy for a while. 10/10

Warning: This module is not recommended for beginners in Logistical. The Caribbean module is the most difficult I've ever played. It takes a lot of strategy and planning to complete all the towns in the module due to restrictions and quarantines and patience because the Caribbean islands are very dispersed and the towns require a LOT of resources. It's a huge challenge but very rewarding!

A maddening challenge has been had so far for me in this module. Unbelievable how this unheralded game has reeled me in. In the beginning, there was a bit of a learning curve, but the free to play demos luckily enticed me to give this seemingly average at best game a try, and laid the foundation for the most unbelievable game I have ever played. Don't let your first impression steal away what could be, and has been for many who have tried, an incredibly valuable experience. This game is incredibly vast and nuanced, and includes a very helpful almost cultlike following on discord to share your experience with and help learn the ins and outs of this extremely well put together series. I play whenever I can - I just leave it open on my computer so as to not waste time... If you are intrigued by challenging puzzles, give this enough time and effort - like said before , learning curve exists. Play the free demo (flinders island, then abc islands) if you like this kind of stuff at all, and be pleasantly surprised.

This game seems quite erratic and the "tutorial" provided doesn't help much. I can't say that I would reccomend this game and if I knew then what I know now, I would not have purchased this game. The graphics and sound are simplistic at best. I doubt I would have been impressed with this game even during the early 90's I'm certainly not impressed now.

LOGistICAL: Caribbean is a large-scale transport management and logistical puzzle game built around the satisfying process of turning a complicated regional network into an efficient machine. Developed and published by Sacada, it takes the familiar principles of the LOGistICAL series and applies them to the geographically fragmented Caribbean. Rather than concentrating on realistic vehicle simulation, the experience revolves around planning routes, delivering resources, developing industries, repairing infrastructure, and discovering how hundreds of interconnected objectives fit together. It is a standalone entry, so newcomers can begin here without needing experience with earlier games. The Caribbean setting is particularly well suited to the concept because the region naturally creates transportation challenges. Players must work across numerous islands, countries, and territories rather than simply expanding through one uninterrupted road network. More than a thousand towns provide an enormous collection of objectives, while the wider economy incorporates well over a hundred supply chains. The scale can initially seem overwhelming, but progression becomes easier to understand o…

I've played almost all of the Logistical modules, and this is one of the few I didn't enjoy. The idea behind it is interesting - multiple quarantine zones, restricted roads, and use of aircraft - but it just ends up feeling repetitive. I normally played in short bursts, as I found myself getting frustrated if I played more than an hour in a go, and eventually realised I wasn't enjoying it at all anymore. The thing with puzzle games is, when you solve a difficult puzzle, do you think "oh! I feel glad I worked that out!" or "thank god that's over". With Logistical: Caribbean, I found myself thinking the later. There's much better Logistical modules out there - I can't recommend this one.
