The gameplay is praised for its originality and modular design, featuring unique map elements and mechanics that enhance the experience. While it retains similarities to its predecessor, players find it rewarding and satisfying as they learn new techniques and strategies. The game has evolved with performance improvements and new features, making it accessible for newcomers while still engaging for veterans.
- “There are a lot of modules already, each representing different countries or U.S. states, and each of them has slightly different mechanics and puzzle parts, like quarantines, building restrictions, plane lines, different sizes of roads, etc.”
- “The gameplay is still very similar to the first game; while hard to get into at first, it is very satisfying to work towards completion.”
- “There have been improvements to performance, enhancements to the gameplay experience, and new features all designed to make Logistical 2 a starting point for new players and a welcome addition to the franchise for the existing player base.”
- “This logistical game contains three tutorials from the L1 and L2 series, free Christmas 2017 module (nodes represent whole countries with enormous requirements and without consumption), ABC Islands module from L1 (Aruba, Bonaire, and Curaçao islands with easy towns, kind of like a demo module for L1 to introduce new players to mechanics), free Suriname module (few towns and a lot of businesses with very small requirements which unlock new industries all over the place), and Indonesia-Bali (first part of the Indonesia module which is being sold using a microtransactions model inside the game).”

The graphics of the game are widely criticized as mediocre and poor, which detracts from its appeal and may alienate gamers who prioritize visual quality. While some players find the gameplay engaging despite the simplistic visuals, the overall execution, including user experience and handling, is considered lacking. This game is not recommended for those who value high-quality graphics.
- “Don't be fooled by the simple graphics, this is a game that will draw you in... just one more town, and it's 3am...”
- “The concept of the game has potential; just the execution (especially graphic-wise) failed miserably here.”
- “This has some really mediocre looking graphics that will understandably be a turn off for a lot of gamers, and it's a big contributor to the failure of the game to attract gamers despite having no up-front cost.”
- “If you care about graphics, this is probably not a game for you.”
- “The concept of the game has potential, just the execution (especially graphic-wise) failed miserably here.”
stability

The game's stability is criticized for being plagued by frequent bugs and glitches, leading to frustrating gameplay experiences such as trucks getting stuck and the game hanging. While quick restarts can temporarily alleviate some issues, the overall performance is deemed unsatisfactory, raising concerns about the quality of coding in this sequel compared to its predecessor.
- “Runs awful, is missing tons of quality of life features, freezes all the time, excessively complex in a way that's not terribly interesting or puzzling, extremely ugly, and overall a step down from the first game.”
- “Trucks get stuck often. If the industry location doesn't have enough cargo, your truck will sit there empty. No matter how many times you press 'stop/start' or 'drop cargo', you'll get the same 'truck is busy and cannot be moved' message, which tends to cause the game to hang for the player. This isn't a freeze of the game itself, but rather the player is prevented from doing anything regarding the stuck truck.”
- “Looking at these issues and realizing that this is game #2 in the series, one is afraid to ask how many of the current bugs, glitches, and obvious insufficient coding are present in game #1, given that often #2 is supposed to be better and have addressed bugs present in the first.”

The monetization strategy of the game is criticized for being excessively greedy, with high prices for low-quality content, and further compounded by a microtransaction model that includes various paid modules alongside free tutorials and limited content. This approach has led to dissatisfaction among users, who feel the game exploits players financially.
- “This logistical 2 game contains three tutorials from the L1 and L2 series, a free Christmas 2017 module (nodes represent whole countries with enormous requirements and without consumption), the ABC Islands module from L1 (Aruba, Bonaire, and Curacao islands with easy towns, kind of like a demo module for L1 to introduce new players to mechanics), a free Suriname module (few towns and a lot of businesses with very small requirements which unlock new industries all over the place), and Indonesia-Bali (the first part of the Indonesia module which is being sold using a microtransactions model inside the game).”
- “The real problem here is overly ambitious and very greedy cash grab pricing for such a low-quality shovelware game.”
- “However, that's not where the monetization stops.”
