![]() ![]() Being El Presidente of an island city sounds like it would be exhausting. It’ll make you laugh at how ridiculous the entire thing can be. That’s not to say that it doesn’t look good, but it feels like a slight refinement where it should’ve felt completely fresh and new.īut what Tropico 5does well is make building cities colorful in a world of boring simulation games. ![]() Even on max settings, I wasn’t blown away at how the game looked like I expected to be. I’m just saying: limiting players to building cities on islands already puts you a step behind the other city builders (yes, even Cities XL).Īs far as being a supposed graphical upgrade, Tropico 5doesn’t look much better than Tropico 4.But, then again, it’s hard to really show improvement when you’re still looking at similar island environments for the game’s entirety.

And, the new mechanics that are introduced, such as constitutions and eras, ruin all of the progress that its predecessor made for the franchise. ![]() The game’s biggest flaw is simply that it doesn’t feel different enough from Tropico 4to really be worth the $39.99 for the new game. ![]()
