Apr 5, 2019Entertaining strategy that lacks the humorous punch of its predecessors. A jack-of-all-trades, but master of none.
-
Mar 29, 2019Tropico 6 stands out as an in-depth city-builder with a strong personality, but its economic systems are unwieldy.
-
Mar 29, 2019Tropico is back with a great strategy and management game, and we think this entry can be a perfect entry point for newcomers.
-
Apr 27, 2019If you are familiar with the series, a detail will definitely jump out at you: Tropico 6 looks like Tropico 5, which was criticized for being too much like Tropico 4. A hard blow for this series which evolves too little, copying most of the game mechanics and even bringing on the issues. Fortunately, the crazy atmosphere under the tropical sun is still here in Tropico 6. It may help you enjoying your winter times, as you seek warmth and papaya.
-
Apr 26, 2019Tropico 6 involves a huge time investment and a steep learning curve, but it is a solid entry in the management/sim genre.
-
Apr 25, 2019Tropico 6 is easy on the eye, complex, diverse and fun, but at the same time very similar to its predecessors. Other faults include illogical design decisions and technical difficulties.
-
Apr 9, 2019A dictator usually needs a lot of charisma and preferably no people that dare to stand up to him. Tropico 6 is just like it. As city builder it's not bad, but all those statistics, menus and the weird system for building are not awesome. But hey, Tropico is still one of a kind.
-
Apr 9, 2019Tropico 6 is a fun game that can be a bit unclear at some moments, but at the same time, it is just so much fun. There aren't too many surprises, but the introduction of a group of islands is fresh and new. It's definitely an ode to the series, but not a revolution.
-
Apr 4, 2019Tropico 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.
-
Apr 1, 2019Tropico 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.
-
Apr 1, 2019It certainly feels like the best Tropico game - but anyone who’s played a previous Tropico game might get bored at doing it all again (although the excellent missions help) and anyone who hasn’t might struggle to progress. In the end though, it’s still a worthy follow-up.
-
Apr 1, 2019Tropico 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.
-
Apr 1, 2019While Tropico 6 remains the same in many ways from the other games within the series, it also consistently remains true to the complex and political nature that comes with ruling a nation, albeit with a few more features added to either improve or destroy the island depending on the player’s choices.
-
Apr 1, 2019I’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.

-
Mar 29, 2019Tropico 6 doesn’t stray too far from its comfort zone but it keeps on offering good fun while being very steady in its solid gameplay mechanics.
-
Mar 29, 2019It’s the Tropico you know and love - but with a new developer, it should have had more than that.
-
Mar 29, 2019Tropico 6 is a blast when things are going well, but frustrating when they aren't.
-
Mar 29, 2019Limbic 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.
-
Apr 3, 2019A very confusing operation.
-
Mar 29, 2019Tropico 6 is entertaining fun, which guarantees many hours of management and strategy, with a well-leveled difficulty. Although it is inevitable not to think that it is a low-risk and original work.

Mar 29, 2019A new developer doesn't rock the boat in what's an enjoyable if only gently iterative outing for the construction and management sim.
-
Mar 29, 2019It is, very much, A Tropico Game, but it knows how to go big, how to feel like it’s playing with the citybuilder big boys, instead of remaining in its safe soft play corner. There’s plenty of stuff I’d change, especially tonally and in terms of international relationships, but I played it happily until I couldn’t see straight. I’m left thinking it should have called itself Ultimate Tropico rather than the implied exhaustion of sticking at 6 at the end. [RPS Bestest Bests]
-
Mar 30, 2019Tropico 6 isn’t spectacular in terms of breaking the mould. There’s no revolution here, but nor would El Presidente want one – that keeps him in power, after all. It’s a confident game that plays it safe, offering simple iterations and smart tweaks to the already well-trodden and successful styling of the series to offer up an entry that, at the very least, is superior to its direct predecessor.
