Critic Reviews
Tropico 5: Waterborne DLC Review
Ultimately, this expensive and disappointing DLC does little to impress and is hard to recommend to players of Tropico that have only a passing interest in the game. The new maps and new vehicles don’t change the game enough to justify a purchase either. This is one for the hardcore fans only.
50%El Presidente is aging -- Tropico 5 review
Despite its issues, the Tropico series has always managed to be a lovable one. This go around, Tropico 5 continues to have some annoying problems that need to be addressed. The controls are disappointing, the story mode is awful, and some other nagging issues persist. Despite that, it continues to remain a ton of fun when you are building a civilization and watching your group of citizens prosper alongside yourself. However, unnecessarily difficult enemies squander that fun too many times. Tropico 5 is a game you want to love, but disappointing mechanics become a problem in the relationship that ultimately leaves you disappointed yet again.
