    Fine and acceptable sequel of very established serie. System of islands is great and many former mechanics were improved. I did not expect anything super or dramatic, thats true, but game is fine and I recommend it.

    It's the same old Tropico everyone knows and loves, with a few extra goodies thrown in. The missions are funny - although (I am on my fourth) I might have enjoyed a little more organic relationship to my citizens on the ground.

    Best Tropico in the series. Love the archipelagos, even if it makes it tough to grow quickly.

    The best Tropico in the series, good job to Limbic on making the game. It's totally worth the price. If you are into city building games this is your game.

    Best version of Tropico yet! As a long-time fan, I am extremely impressed. They took all the elements of the previous versions I liked and kept them (or even improved them). The graphic, physics engine, voices, etc are great.

The sense of humor is still there and more "on the nose" than ever given recent geo-political developments. Bravo Tropico team!… Expand

    Love to build on several Island. The Campaign is funny as in every Tropico. Graphics are very good and the simulated Tropicans (Tropicanos) are crazy in detail ( what they´re doing, not the graphics). It´s even better than Tropico 5.

    It's a good relaxing game (mostly made for casuals in mind) but feels almost the same with the previous instalments

    This may well be the best Tropico game to date. Looks like the dev team took the best features of T4 and T5, mixed them together and added a pile of new stuff for us to do. We're back to the individual simulation of citizens with politics & economics also being simulated. Multiple islands provide a welcome dose of 'realism' along with the opportunity for huge sprawling cities, and ofThis may well be the best Tropico game to date.

We're back to the individual simulation of citizens with politics & economics also being simulated. Multiple islands provide a welcome dose of 'realism' along with the opportunity for huge sprawling cities, and of course a suitably massive palace for El Presidente.

    Great game so far. There are a couple of bugs but nothing game breaking and the dev team appear to be hard at work. The game is also very well optimised and looks really nice. All in all this is a winner.    … Expand

    I love this game, it's just like the same as Tropico 5 but with many new Features, it's a mix of Tropico 4 and 5. I recommend this game for all players who likes City Building games with funny characters and an interesting story.

    Taking into consideration the entire series, I think Tropico 6 is a solid addition to the Island Dictator family.

As of April 2019, the game is an entirely different beast from previous Tropicos in terms of raw difficulty. The game is challenging, though it seems to require some additional balancing to keep the gameplay fresh. Tourism is not viable at all and certain industries are too powerful in comparison to others. The faction system also requires an overhaul as they flood your screen with hundreds of silly, impossible, or otherwise unreasonable requests.

    Tropico 6 brings some new industries and structures to the table, many of which compliment the new flagship new feature: the map is now divided into islands, as the Caribbean actually is. The bridge and tunnel (allowing you to burrow through mountains to reach the other side) are delightful and help bring a new element of city-building to the series that has otherwise felt a big stagnant for the past decade. Tropico 3/4/5 felt very similar- Tropico 6 feels like an actually new game.

    One last major point- the game suffers from bugs and technical issues, many of which have not been resolved, even three weeks after release. Serious problems like people getting stuck in bus areas or double objective triggers (which two invasions) and others still plague the game. Hopefully they quash these quickly.    … Expand

    Nice graphics in a new universe for el presidente, what did you need more?! Ok, more lamas, hats and freaky accessoires. But it's a fine so far and if i take a look at Tropico 5, i think more will come.

    It is very enjoyable to make diplomacy in the game. The mechanics in trade and production are very nice. Witty dialogues and messages amused me. BUT there is not day and night cycle in the game.
    It's hard to make money in the game. AS A RESULT, players who love strategy and tycoon will love this game.

    Jogo ótimo tem quase tudo que eu queria em um jogo citybuiding. vc controla um país no caribe sendo o presidente ou ditador dele. O jogo é mt diferente dos outros simuladores de cidade. Só não dou 10 pq o jogo é difícil de aprender e não tem tradução em pt

    I enjoy the music, game play and humor of this game. Multiplayer is quite fun with friends. I feel like it was well worth purchasing. This game will make you strategize and think through your actions.

    I had a hard time putting this game down, can get pretty addictive. And it could literally go on forever on just one map.

    This is another great example of me not knowing what people want?
    People giving this a 5/10 clearly have no idea what they want.

    it's a great improvement over the prior game. It's not perfect but for the serious I don't really know what people are griping about.

    SAME GAME THAN TROPICO 5. And that´s good and bad. Same mechanics with better Graphics. The only a add on is that now i you can construct bridges! I enjoyed playing tropico 5 as much playing this game.

    Tropico 6 has great potential but it falls flat in some of it's aspects. To me personally the game really is great a perfect Tropico experiance. I really liked the idea of the bigger maps, new buildings for your cities. But some parts of the game are not good. Particularly the rebel system. you still have your usual low, medium, high and very high threat levels.

Particularly the rebel system. you still have your usual low, medium, high and very high threat levels. But in Tropico 6 the rebels start attacking in the low to medium threat level. Guerrilla attacks targeting your buildings. And after a while it just becomes tedious. And what I think should have also be added to the game is a new political system which would be a little more in depth. In my opinion they should add a legislature and to be able to hold parliamentary elections and to win the most seats for your party. That way you will be able to create a perfect democratic banana republic or a totalitarian single party dictatorship. But all in all the game si great and I recommend the game. 8 out of 10… Expand

    Tropico 6 rises to be a worthy successor of Tropico 4, taking the franchise back on the track with its archipelago system and return of some of the old features from the previous games.

    Limbic Entertainment just took the reins of the series, so they didn’t change much, but when they did – they made the gameplay better and more diverse. [Issue#237, p.32]

    Despite all of this griping, and all of these complaints, Tropico 6 is still sort of fun. Partly it's just watching the numbers going up. When the freighter arrives in port and your first shipment of electronics goes to market, netting you enough money to build a new stadium, it's like a little pat on the head that can be weirdly addictive. There are certainly some bugs that probably shouldn't exist on the fourth (fifth? sixth?) iteration of essentially the same game, but the special sauce that has allowed them to actually get away with making six Tropico games is still there.
