Tropico 5 Reviews

VIVA EL PRESIDENTE Y VIVA TROPICO

Si, El Presidente

Great game!

I've played it across different platforms and this game is always a blast. Never know what will happen.

Best Tropico, i like the Dynasty system pls bringing him back in Tropico 7

A great game series, this one is on the silly cultural side of Hollywood and Youtube poops basically across the board of theme scales of media. 1st one and pirate's cove are the only others I played, played some other pirate games as well, and city builders of peace, not sure what it is when it comes to USA having farming classes in all public schools all 50 states equal to Math, English, and P.E. classes, K-12 grades, sports optional double physical strengthening for those who want it, farming for those who do not, for we do not like the war elements of sports anyway, and this ruling makes the war types also farm too. Equality. Never-mind, Blackwater mercenaries of corporate machine might do me in and I'll be goe, dead.

I would really like to give this game my recommendation. I've been playing it off and on for years and every time I give it another go I walk away disheartened as another bustling town is ruined by a shoddy politics system. The game forces you to play a very specific play style choosing only those options that will pander to your people. Anything else will result in ever increasing hoards of rebels spawning every couple minutes on your island regardless of approval ratings. I've been as high as 89% approval and still had the whole island rise up and destroy everything. Breaks my heart everytime.

It is fun. I played a good amount of Tropico 4, LOVED Tropico 5, started Tropico 6. You can see where i settled... The music is worth, atleast 20$ on its own.

Dominic Toretto doesn't like this, my dynasty member choose to join USA instead stay with her own family.

Tropico 5 isn't a bad iteration on the series, but it makes a lot of changes to the formula and ends up losing some of the charm from its predecessors. Tropico 4 + Modern Times (and a couple other DLC), is a more fun Tropico experience which maintains the core gameplay I always loved from the series. If you like a chilled city builder that doesn't constantly breathe down your neck, that's in many ways a better game. This one is ok for some variation, has more challenge and more micromanaging with economy/trade. The annoying part is that it typically comes in form of tasks to accomplish on a timer, which means often restarting maps until you find a working strategy. But that mostly applies to the campaign, and there's always free play. DLC are mostly crap, though. Even heavily discounted the only ones worth consideration are Waterborne, Espionage and Generalissimo.
