Tropico 6 is a bridge between the glorious past of games like Caesar IV and Sim City and the future. I can't wait to return to those beautiful islands, and that's everything I want from a game.

Overall, Tropico 6 sets itself as a fun, albeit formidable challenge. Fans of the genre will likely have a lot to appreciate in the game. As said, it’s not a game for everyone, but it does what it needs to do and it does it well.

In parts, Tropico 6 feels like a return to form rather than a proper evolution. In others, Limbic Entertainment additions makes it stand out with its more personal interconnection between the player and its citizens. Easily the best entry on the franchise so far.

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.

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.

Ultimately Tropico 6 does provide the much-needed stepping stones to advance the series. For a series which often gets continued updates or DLC, Tropico 6 is also with with a long and exciting future ahead of it.

Tropico 6 might not be the revolution that the series need, but dealing with different political streams, problems and challenges that the residents of your city face, and building a beautiful city, are more than enough to entertain you for hours.

Tropico 6 is the best game I've played all year. It reminds me of all the classic strategy games I used to love, and yet it doesn't make me yearn for them. That's because Limbic Entertainment managed to nail just what makes strategy games so fun.

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.

I'm not usually a "city-building" kind of gamer. Aside for some dalliances within a particularly in-depth RTS, or in a few of the newer survival type games. Even then, they are little more than curious dalliances. So imagine my surprise when I found this particular title pulling me in as its deceptive simplicity evolved into multi-tiered complexity and intense micromanaging capacities.

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.

Tropico 6 is the latest installation in the city-builder saga that has the most visually-appealing graphics in the series, yet remains more-or-less the same otherwise.

Tropic 6 is great game. All the differentiated factions, the disparate investigations, the extravagant speeches and that what really matters are the dirty rags, the traps under the table and the money you have hidden in Switzerland make this game hook like few others.

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.
