Tropico 6 Reviews
Tropico 6 is the best entry in the series, though not without its flaws. The repetition of random requests with no real direct relation to how your city is developing is always an irritation to me. The economics of the city is especially well developed, though areas like the superpowers feel tacked on at best. Fortunately, new features like raids help the game stand out from its predecessors.
In all, Tropico 6 is a proper entry by series newcomer developer Limbic Entertainment, whose thoughtful additions are as welcome as the impressive manner with which they effortlessly have recaptured the whimsy and charisma of the franchise on the first try.
Witty political satire? Check. Lovely latin music soundtrack? Check. Solid city builder gameplay? Check. Is this Tropico 6? Tropico 5? Tropico 4? Loyal Penultimo would struggle to spot the difference, and players might decide at some point to ditch El Presidente for a new one bringing some fresh air... if only there was one in sight.

Tropico 6 doesn’t need to reinvent the wheel—no matter what El Presidente claims—to be a great experience. There’s never been a better time to take a trip to the Caribbean
Tropico 6 brings a lot to the table. It is pretty to look at, easy to get started with, and offers hours of play time with its generous depth and breadth in multiple categories of human life.

Tropico 6 comes from the hand of a new studio, Limbic Entertainment, to return a franchise. Thus, the title offers us a perfect management experience and strategy for beginners in the genre but who know how to keep the attention of the most veterans, in a title that follows the trail of previous games and delves into the strengths of the saga.

Tropico 6 is an interesting but unambitious sequel. The game is pleasant but lacks of new features. It is still a funny experience with an atmosphere that makes you want to go on holiday and enjoy a cocktail in the sun.

Tropico 6 is hands-on and plays on a micro-managing level that's quite undone for the most part with games about management, and I just wish it got more of the attention it deserves.
Tropico 6 is not the hardest of hardcore simulation games, but for folks looking for something more casual, it's a blast. It's entertaining and addictive, and its minor interface flaws only stand out because the rest of the game is so polished and enjoyable.
Limbic has turned down its opportunity for revolución in favour of reinforcing the rule of El Presidente - a safe pair of hands for colourful city-building and wry commentary on the abuse of democracy.Jeremy Peel
Tropico 6 may not be at its best on the Nintendo Switch but it is still worthwhile even on noticeably underpowered hardware. Once you get past the huge load times at the beginning and the lengthy tutorial, the only question is how would you like to rule? For the people? Or with an iron fist?
Tropico 6 doesn't mess with the island building formula very much, but the new features kept me hooked for hours.
Tropico 6 overhauls the entire infrastructure, bringing forward most, but not all of the features we had with previous outings. A greater emphasis on transportation and simulation deepens the experience and makes Tropicans feel less like mere numbers. At its heart, Tropico 6 is still a game about building your empire and making it grow, but it's the small mechanics that create a connection with your benevolent dictator, and help make your anarchy-prone archipelago feel a little like home.
While Tropico 6 maintains the series' humor and complexity, it sometimes gets bogged down under the weight of its own systems. There's plenty of fun to be found here, but you'll be left wanting more.
Fans of the series will love this new and improved Tropico game. New players are going to have a few difficulties adjusting but once familiar with the game will have a blast.
Tropico 6's evolution and depth take the series into new heights, or in this case, new islands, stretching your nation across multiple islands with the inclusion of advanced traverse options.
Tropico 6 is a solid entry into the El Presidente series. There's a few new twists on the classic formula, but largely it's the same engaging mix of politics, trade, and imprisoning homeless people.
Tropico 6 is the realization of what I've wanted from this series for years now.
Returning to what made fans fall in love with the series, Tropico 6 is an endearing, personality-filled city-builder that lets you think outside of the box. El Presidente has never looked this good, bribes or no.
