Tropico 6 Reviews
If you like constructer builder games, Tropico is perfect as you will soon rack up hundreds of funfilled hours before you even know it. Just trying to get a beautiful piece of paradise seems so far away but after a few hours, your dreams will become a reality and become the greatest El Presidente ever or, there will be a revolution and you will get overthrown. Either way, new or old to this genre and franchise, Tropico 6 is absolutely fantastic and well deserved the prestigious Thumb Culture Platinum Award and can’t wait to carry on with my island of paradise.
Tropico 6 is a highly addictive city and government simulator that has realistic game mechanics with an easy to use build and management interface. A marvelous, challenging, enjoyable and non complicated experience.
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.
Ultimately, Tropico 6 is a game that any fan of city builders will enjoy, and I highly recommend checking it out if you're one of those people.
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 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'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 the realization of what I've wanted from this series for years now.
Tropico 6 is like a definitive look at the series that has always stood out in the city builder genre, while also adding some really fun new mechanics that help you shake things up a bit.
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 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.
We highly suggest this game for any fans of strategy games, even if they are new to the Tropico series.
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.

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 has stepped in and raised the bar for all games within the genre to try and reach. The developers have taken the core gameplay mechanics from previous games in the series, which we all know and love, added a few new unique and exciting ones into the mix, and then presented us with the best Tropico game so far. In terms of size, playing through all fifteen campaigns will take you a lifetime, not to mention the unlimited fun to be had within the random map generator and online portions of the game. If you’re looking for an engaging, exciting, entertaining, and enjoyable new resource management game, look no further!
What should one think of Tropico 6? What can it do and what can it possibly not do? From my personal point of view, Limbic Entertainment delivered a great game on their Tropico debut. Graphically, it is a treat thanks to the Unreal Engine. Untypical for the genre it is possible to rotate the camera completely free, tilt it and zoom extremely close. The sound and the background music are also very nice. The processes under the hood are logical and, unlike in the beta, not very faulty or comprehensible for the player. The merchandise system and the production chains are obvious and conclusive even for beginners. Nevertheless, despite the very good tutorial, there will be a lot of learning and frustration for newcomers to the series or even genre. The wealth of buildings, as well as the dictatorial and diplomatic possibilities are immense. This mass can be quite overwhelming for one or the other. But since Penúltimo and the other characters present the whole thing with a lot of humor, the fun is at least for me not lost at any time. Especially in the later course of the game it gets confusing very quickly due to the large number of participants (superpowers and factions). I personally have to take a break more often and sort the events for me. But this does not harm the game. A big weak point is the character creation, if you followed the review carefully you will notice that it wasn't mentioned before. And not without reason, it is simply unimaginative and boring, almost boring. This was always one of the biggest strengths in the previous reviews. Here Limbic was just sleeping, maybe they also ran out of time. Except for the small weaknesses in road building and the wasted potential in character creation and palace adaptation, Tropico 6 is a typical Tropico. Very simple thing. A class (Tropico) debut of the Hessians. For my part, I will now go back to the Caribbean in my mind. ¡Nos vemos!

Tropico 6 is a worthy descendant in the long lineup of Tropico and definitely a step forward. El Presidente can be satisfied with the new development studio Limbic Entertainment. The connection of several islands with bridges and ship routes brings the necessary variety into the Tropico series.

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 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.
