Tropico 6

Very fun, good graphics, entertaining, but too few missions. I would also like more missions set in colonial era or world war 1. Only the main game has colonial and rest quickly go to modern times.

Fun upbeat city builder. Played Tropico 5 back in the day on PS4. Can be played mouse only.

This is a really fun strategy society builder with great depth. It has a good SOH but not at the expense of actually being interesting. Can you get your island afloat by being nice and clever, or do you have to resort to dictatorship? Or you can of course just revel in being a villain cause that is also fun. But I like how the mechanics of the gamechallenge you as a player. However: I am playing on a Mac and the mouse pointer hitbox is constantly .5 cm off - this is infuriating. Just get it on some other platform.

Its pretty fun, and easy to learn. I have played this series from the beginning. This one is just as enjoyable as all the rest.

el presidente is the greatest leader of all time and he is worthy of leading this brilliant game

VIVA LA TROPICO!!!!!

I couldn't play this game for a while as my computer did not run fast enough. I do not know if it is me but I found myself lost while playing the game. I simply did not know what goals I was aiming for so the game went on and on in the second game? The game its self ran fine and was fun.

I have been playing Tropico 6 for a long time, and I really enjoy the game. However, I feel that the current trade route limit is too restrictive, especially when managing a large economy.

Would it be possible to increase the number of trade routes per dock or allow multiple contracts per port? This would significantly improve economic management and provide more flexibility in exporting goods.

Many players would benefit from this feature, and I believe it would make the game even more enjoyable.

Thank you for your time and consideration!

to many glitches that make the game unplayable you can tell by simply looking at how long the games been out and how many updates they do to fix constant issues with economy and path finding its a joke

This game is really great !

You can build your own style country and be the president.

I think this is the best city building game on this current time.

Can't wait for Tropico 7 !

Tropico 6 intimately thought me the importance of growth or stagnation on a Caribbean island and irl 1/10

Lots of fun to be had, even with the economic frustrations! I've enjoyed the last few Tropico games including the most recent - 6 - but maybe slightly less than the previous ones. It's really addicting once you nail the basics of building the tropical city of paradise. I've mostly focused on the story missions, and believe they have added a unique challenge in each.

I do recommend the game overall if you have any desire in city building, and don't mind researching the ins and outs of a reasonably deep game. There are some fairly cool systems to be found. However, one thing I've found fairly consistently frustrating (even compared with the previous games) is the economic system. You need to learn and stick to a few core neighbourhood building concepts to stay running, and research some tips for success (watch online videos). It is way too easy to get in the red and never come out, even when only purchasing industry, agriculture, etc. In many cases too - you have to go into debt to build your economy but at the same time you can go bankrupt unpredictably. I've routinely hit the message to quite the game or continue when at -$50k mark, yet end up winning later after fast forwarding x4, waiting & watching. Then again other times, I wait & watch and wast my time as I can't do nothing and eventually go deeper in red.

There are so many kinds of costs to your society for everything you do and place in the city including movement of workers throughout their neighbourhoods, policies, living! This is great for micro-mangers, but can be more frustrating if not wanting to micromanage and desperately search for the excessive cost overruns.

I look forward to 7!

Love this game, uncomplicated city builder that has fun lil stories. Difficulty scaling is good too, if you want to really challenge yourself.

(Yes I know a lot of the features I discuss were already introduced in Tropico 5)

The good:
+ Far more content than any other Tropico game, you can play for hours and hours and never get bored
+ Ridiculously addictive
+ The eras system greatly increases the longevity of games
+ Plantations having a fixed growing area makes farming a lot more predictable
+ Raids are really fun
+ Really good graphics
+ The archipelago system, where you can control multiple islands instead of just one, is great
+ Basically just Tropico 5 but improved in every feasible way
+ The difficulty curve feels balanced and natural, the earlier games could get pretty easy once you've figured it all out, but difficulty adjustment feels more balanced in this game

The meh:
~ The dynasty system from 5 was removed, I know some disliked dynasties but I didn't mind them
~ You certainly can play as a malevolent, self-centered asshole, but I feel like the game tends to reward benevolance more
~ The budget system does remove some micromanagement, but doesn't feel as in depth as the individual sliders you had in the earlier games
~ The political satire and humor is still there, but I feel like it's taken a backseat to the gameplay
~ I would personally like the combat in these games to have an overhaul, as it mostly just boils down to who has more troops
~ Has a bigger scale than Tropico 1-4, but I feel like that bigger scale makes you feel more separated from your citizens

The bad:
- The missions aren't that fun and don't feel as engaging as the campaigns from previous games
- Your economy is too reliant on teamsters, teamster spam is one of the most effective ways to maximize your earnings

Overall thoughts:
6 is by far the most content rich and replayable Tropico, the gameplay loop is really refined and fun, and basically every new feature is good. Just in terms of pure gameplay, it's probably the best in the series However, I do feel like it's lost a bit of what made Tropico special. Like I said, the bigger scale and smaller focus on humor does feel like it strips away some of that Tropico spice, to the point where the late game kinda just feels like tropical Simcity, rather than a real Tropico game. However, that doesn't take away that the game is extremely fun, if you like city builders, this is a must play.

Great game! Always enjoy starting new islands when I get an idea for more efficient layouts, making me super rich very quickly no matter the difficulty. Definitely buy this game!!

Kalypso just released a large patch in preparation for their new DLC: Return to Nature. Custom parks, numerous bug fixes, etc. Do not listen to any negative reviews of this game. It is one of my absolute favorites. Although there could have been more innovations in the base game, the DLCs flesh the game out nicely. I buy them full price because I can't wait for the sales.

I don't find myself running out of ideas for how to differentiate my playthroughs. The scenarios are very cute and engaging although sometimes fall into the introducing new mechanics trope. This game will have you on your toes between rebels, factions, foreign powers, etc.

It's actually a very upbeat interesting game compared to something like C:SL which in my opinion lacks charm and personality.

I have no complaints about this game. If I had to come up with one it would be that: I don't know what to do when I get millions of dollars other than indulge in corruption and drain my coffers in a procedural manner.

Fun open world game. Mining, farming, building city, hotels, attractions, etc. Same as other Tropico's more things to build and more sandbox templates available.

Viva La Tropico. Fun city (island) building game with lots of silly quirks. Each Era has its own challenges and funny characters, and watching your island modernize is very satisfying. 7/10

Interesting concept, very poorly implemented. The game has some idiotic tasks and missions that you have to complete, very easy to go bankrupt or mess up all the stats since you get forced to play a certain way because of tasks. The performance is also poorly optimized..

Starting from a small village of only 1000 people ! LipTopia is now a metropolis a vast city that would make the gods lust with envy !

A well planned public transport system that does not work !
A well funded police network that is uneducated !
A fire department that has no running water !
A garbage collection service that has the dump at city centre !
A oil industry sector on land that has no oil !
A welfare and hospital system that takes a week to get a small appointment !
And a slight just a lil (maybe alot) corrupt local government !

This is the best city in the word why ?
Because I said so ! (hands you some cash)

A nice city builder with some funky music, multiplayer is nice but i wish there was more you could do more with the other player interaction wise
but overall a good game

Fun and quite addicting. There are so many different ways to play the game that it doesn't really get repetitive as long as you don't play 24/7 (aka have a life).

Wish it was story based like T5 instead of missions based but its a great city sim that i love to come back to.

Either release the Mod Kit, even if it's a paid application, or put out a separate application that we can make custom maps on. I play the heck out of Command and Conquer because I can play home brew maps, Tropico 6 would dominate my time an my wallet if I could do the same.
Second, yall need to fix the information/details for many of the functions and upgrades, they are not clear.

its an okay game, i wish you had more control of your army. also the multiplayer is complete broken which kind of sucks

Fun, challenging and time consuming, but overall, I really enjoy playing the game, even after I finished the missions.

I absolutely love this game! If you're a fan of Sim City, Transport Fever, or other city builders and logistic manager type games, I think you'll enjoy this one too.

The writers of the dialogue in this game were brilliant, they poke fun at all sorts of 'normal' country activities. The music is fun and entertaining, the graphics are quite relaxing, and I can start and restart this game a hundred times and still not be sick of it.

Honestly I have tried to like this game but the mechanics of workers not showing up drive me insane. I find this game is a constant struggle to move around housing and build transit routes to try and get the people to go to work but no matter what it remains a problem.

Its a fun little game to just chill out to the music and play various ways. You can make it fairly easy by just using all the default options - or difficult like banning religion when you have religious factions on your island.

I only wish they had more music to listen to on loop.

Great City Simulation Game I ever played with surreal economic and International trading system

Great way to spend 2 hours at a time. scenarios are fun and can be challenging if your pretty bad at this game (like me)

Tropico 6 goes a long way towards expanding the game play and includes new features... but there is no story content like Tropico 5 had. You play on maps with specific goals, then unlock new maps to play. By the 3rd map you can tell where the game is going and what improvements have been made, which leaves little reason to play anymore content as there is no story. There is no incentive to regress your technology to re build the same things over and over again.

Looks prettier. Still disappointing.

Good game...i didn't like the fact game was artificially keeps certain number of people...i wanted to keep every sungle person alive...but the game killing them without a reason.stopled because of that

Interface is much better than the last Tropico game. Missions are fun. Road-building's still as twitchy as it's ever been in Tropico, but I'm enjoying the game, overall.

i love games like this, and hopefully i will return to play this game for many hours. however, the game has 4 zoom distances. intimate up-close inspection, much too close, too close, and outer space. if there were a couple zoom modes between too close and outer space, this game would be that much better.

One of my favorite games even though i was late to series starting with this one

I always have nearly no money... corecction... i spend too much money while i make a LOT OF MONEY, BUT THE NET IS THE SAME

i miss some political chalenges, as a real oposition like real character actually doing some work againt us, some government options like presidentialism and parliamentarism and the option to vote and discuss bills and project.

I love this game but only on freeplay mode. I have no clue how you don't spiral into debt in the game mode. The game is creative in how you can design your city/country and I love the funny aspect they add to it.

Great to really distract you from overthinking, it offers so many things to oversee at once you get immersed before you notice. Has a great deal of good humor too.

Great city builder with fun short missions with interesting challenges

El Presidente is back. Pretty graphics, finally multi-island and the usual political satire you expect from this glorious studio. There's a reason it cost you an arm and a leg after even many years of release. It just don't age and the replayability is quite a value! Runs pretty well on Linux, only got a few hangs once in a blue moon after Overdosing of El Presidente.

This game is quite fun and is a good way to kill some time. I wish there were more skin options for each type of building as it can get a bit boring to see the same ones over and over. I'd like to see more beautification options under the landscaping as well. This is a fun city builder.

Lots of Bugs. Cannot even go over first mission. Played first mission over 5 times and cannot get over smugglers trade route. What is that? Can developers put this task in pirate Cove at least?

We need more DLCs with a scenario and one building for 20 bucks

The game is very enjoyable. Though i miss Juanito.

Tropico 6 is too unrealistic! Whenever I fail to fulfill my promises, my population starts to dislike me... BUT WHEN A REAL POLITICIAN fails to fulfill their promises, they get no repercussions!

i played tropico 5 on my xbox for a few years and tropico 6 is way more better, graphics, gameplay, and basically everything. phenomenal game :))))

Imagine leading a country so good that even your political rival in elections highly approves you. lmao

This is one of the most completely immersive games ever. You control the flow and outcome of your entire country. If you succeed or fail, the fault falls on you. I really enjoy it.

"Viva la Vida."
Tropico 6 is a morally dubious game. It is a game of self aggrandizement, and it captures the absurdity of a nation under the grasp of a dictator, riding the winds of history, oddly well. The game is well made, hilarious, and plays well. Enjoy the resorts, the vacation destinations, and the sheer destitution of a poorly run country, in debt, and subject the whims of a madman - the great El Presidente, you.
