    So they made it look prettier and added a couple of new things, whoopdeedo! HOW ABOUT FIXING THE PROBLEMS THAT HAVE PLAGUED THIS GAME SINCE THE BEGINNING!!! Citizens still refuse to work no matter the job quality or pay STILL. Stop adding things to the game and fix the problems already. Thanks for wasting my money. And to the rest of the critics, just quit, you have no clue. To give thisSo they made it look prettier and added a couple of new things, whoopdeedo!

    There's something infectious about Tropico 5's breezy attitude to tyranny and dictatorship. [Issue#156, p.118]

    Like sipping a mojito while resting your panda-skin boots on a pauper, there's something nasty yet refreshing here, as it pushes you to maintain control in marvelously illiberal ways. [Feb 2015 (US), p.72]

    That said, with the plethora of other options ranging from churches to space programs, controlling an island nation bent on exorcizing its previous demons (existing under the Crown of an imperialist ruler) and taking sole command of an army and a civilization, Tropico 5 is a fulfilling experience.
