Bienvenido a la isla bonita, de gracia, de oro y de sol. Bienvenidos a Trópico, pues aquí, se alegra vuestro corazón. Todo el día cantando y bailando, gozando con nuestra emoción. De las olas el ritmo sentirás aquí, vivamos con esa pasión
First Rundown
If you don’t understand Spanish don’t worry. Tropico 6 is a great “multilingual” satirical city-builder (more island) in which you manage every one of the citizens of your banana republic in their daily routine. Maybe it can appear complicated but the game is kind of chilling and easy to play at the beginning. Tropico used to come around every 2 to 3 years with a few new features, the core idea is always intact. Nothing is stopping you from trying to build a communist paradise where everyone is homeless, where banana pickers can make as much money as tech executives, or where a brutal military keeps the islander on the line. You have total freedom on how efficiently you can turn your holding into profitable exports. The only problem is that you have to deal with all the internal politic factions simultaneously. It's impossible to make everyone happy, as every demand you fill for one group will cost you standing with another. To turn Tropico into a thriving paradise you need to keep things in balance, traditionally the last thing you expect from a despot. The problem is how. The solution is to adapt.

WHAT IT IS AND HOW IT WORKS
Zitat:
Story
◼️ Writing
The game develops on maps, each one has its main missions and quests that tell a funny and kind of nonsense “historia” about “El Presidente” and your aide “Penultimo”. Those, presented as an anthology of past adventures, narrated by your trusty companion throw in entertaining curveballs to overcome. Each focuses on a different aspect of the game, be it the spread of propaganda, the ecologist/industrial conflicts, the challenges of mass tourism, the balancing act of international relations, the benefits of light piracy.
◼️ Characters and Dialogues
Tropico is made of recurring characters with a wonderfully build personality and sharp dialogues, figurative archetypes and stereotypes leaders of each faction. Satisfying some of the needs of the ruthless capitalist and industrialist, closed-minded militarist, stoned ecologist or authoritarian nun will usually put them in direct competition with others, which leads to interesting outputs.

WHAT ISN'T WORKING OUT?
Zitat:
◼️ Some missions are a pain in the ass. You have to “cheat” the game mechanics to beat some absurd requests and objectives. The game AI doesn't follow logic, usually the factions ask for impossible demands on some maps or worse they repeat themself by asking the same request over and over again.
◼️ The setup makes it seem like you have the power to be as evil as you want to be, but it's never a sustainable approach. Only on the sandbox mode, you can experiment different and crazy approaches.
◼️ Disaster features are amiss on almost all the maps. You don’t have random tornadoes, meteor strikes, tsunamis or earthquakes like in the last games.
◼️ Bugs & Issues
Some annoying bugs on buildings placement and for some raid features. Roads placement works out the way and buildings need to be relocated all the time on hills and slopes. The raid building features are bugged and can’t be activated on a queue line.

JUDGEMENT
Zitat:
Tropico 6 is not the revolution. It’s the same game as usual. A little prettier, with some nice new feature, many challenging missions and a lot of weak points. Is it bad? Not at all. But it’s repetitive, sometimes boring and annoying. Don’t take it as a starting point in the Tropico series. It’s a game for experienced players.
