The graphics of the game have been widely criticized as outdated, simplistic, and often described as "terrible" or "non-existent," with many reviewers noting that they resemble games from a decade or more ago. The user interface is also considered clunky and confusing, detracting from the overall experience. Despite these visual shortcomings, some players find the gameplay engaging enough to overlook the graphics and UI issues.
- “The graphics and sound are on the simple side, and the UI really takes some time to get used to, but if the game manages to get you hooked, you can look past those flaws with ease.”
- “Graphics kinda feel like a game from a decade or so ago, but it's not terrible.”
- “It's got a bit of a learning curve, simple graphics, and kind of a wonky interface, but those just are part of its charm.”
- “The graphics are practically non-existent.”
- “The first impression is the graphics are made from a Google Earth map that was taken from a really low quality JPG after it was smashed by an asteroid coming to Earth.”
- “In its current state, the inconsistent user interface, the rough graphics, and the grating sound effects kill any desire to keep playing.”

The gameplay is generally described as addictive and engaging, with a simple yet deep resource management mechanic that evolves over time, reminiscent of classic tycoon games. However, many users criticize the poor user interface and controls, which can detract from the overall experience and may discourage new players. Despite these issues, those who invest time in learning the mechanics often find the gameplay rewarding and enjoyable.
- “Logistical is a seemingly simple puzzle game that slowly adds layers of complexity with an addictive 'just one more town' gameplay loop.”
- “If you love a relaxing yet addictive style of gameplay, then it delivers in spades.”
- “In summary, Logistical is a fantastic puzzle game with a very addictive management mechanic, and if you spend two or three hours reading a guide and the manual and retrying the tutorial island, you'll end up loving the game and wanting to play it every spare second.”
- “The underlying gameplay, once you manage to wrestle your way through the UI and controls, is actually really basic.”
- “The gameplay is shallow and repetitive.”
- “It throws you into the game straight into tutorials which is pretty good; I like games that get right into it and you learn as you go. But it's just a list of things to do, and you're not really sure why or how. There's not much explanation, and the UI is not very intuitive; it's pretty much a confusing mess. I am pretty sure a lot of people would just quit without giving it a fair go and taking the time to learn the mechanics, which is a shame because it becomes very enjoyable when you decode how to play it.”

The grinding aspect of the game receives mixed reviews; while some players find the grindy puzzles satisfying and enjoyable for those who appreciate incremental progress, others criticize it as tedious, bland, and frustrating, particularly due to micromanagement and poor graphics. Overall, the experience can be rewarding for some but is deemed boring and pointless by others.
- “It's bland grinding most of the time.”
- “Bad graphics, annoying sound effects, and tedious gameplay that focused on micromanagement and grinding.”

The music in the game has received overwhelmingly negative feedback, with many players describing it as low-quality and reminiscent of outdated MIDI files. Users recommend muting the game and playing their own music or podcasts instead, as the sound effects are also considered subpar. Overall, while the game can be enjoyable in a relaxed setting, the audio experience detracts significantly from gameplay.
- “It's a good game to play whilst listening to music or having TV on a second screen, or just before bed to wind down - though be careful you don't end up staying up too late!”
- “Bring your own music or podcast, and you'll be set.”
- “The music is terrible... like some MIDI file. I've heard better on a Super Nintendo. The sound effects are literally a wad of bad engine sounds just constantly going, some reverse beeps and a 'ching' sound when you get some income from a delivery. The game is much more pleasant on mute. I would like to see better sound effects if the developers care to improve them.”
- “I advise switching the sound off and listening to some music.”
- “The only true con I can think of is the sound... I don't play the game with the sounds on and I play my music in the background.”

- “Very poorly optimized.”
- “There is a weird full-screen performance issue I cannot nail.”
- “I was expecting an optimization game, where you need to optimize your routes or the contract you fulfill, manage vehicle tours, capacities, and distances, that kind of stuff.”

The story in Logistical is refreshingly straightforward, focusing on mundane tasks rather than grand quests or heroic narratives. It emphasizes a simple premise: the player must deliver a truckload of bananas, presenting a unique take on storytelling that prioritizes everyday challenges over traditional adventure tropes.
- “Logistical simply places that front and center, stripping away any notion of quests or noble heroes saving the planet from certain doom, but simply looks us in the eye and says, 'Dude, you need to get this truckload of bananas delivered.' You know what though?”
