Tropico 5 , from developer Haemimont Games, gives players the chance to become a dictator of their very own tropical island, replete with corruption, revolutionaries and sunshine. In fact, it almost feels as if the game is daring you to become as eccentric a leader as possible, particularly when you...

On the PC there are too few new features to satisfy existing fans, but on the PlayStation 4 the joys of being an island dictator still feel enjoyably fresh.

A well pitched sense of humour, solid city-building elements, and a deep and varied range of political options; Console interface works surprisingly well

Few genuinely significant new features and too many long-standing bugs; A lot of the underlying gameplay is fairly basic, especially compared to similar games

Tropcio 5 is a great city building game. Of course it is best of the genre on the PS4 (duh). But personally I consider it best in the series and one of the best city building games in the genre (platform wide). There are better city builders, but not so many and Tropico is still worth playing too..

It's hard being El Presidente. My people are never entirely happy, demanding better homes, medical care, or even better entertainment. Don't they know that the money for those things is far better

Fantastic city-building; Era system adds a new dynamic; Different play-styles all work

Dynasty system not brilliantly implemented; Multiplayer could be improved; Intrusive autosave

not quite as good as I thought it would be, but at the moment there is no competition for this type of game on the PS4. That saying it will certainly help kill a few hours if you have nothing else on

Fun game if you've been playing each edition... Just don't expect anything really new with this version if you've been playing on PC. Other then that it's very easy to control the game with the PS4 controller.

When I start playing, often times, I will notice hours go by before I even realize it. That's how much fun it is.

This is a simple yet effective game that is great fun. It is however pretty tricky in places so be prepared to spent lots of time replaying key parts and becoming completely engrossed in the in-depth interactive elements of the game.

I had high hopes for this game, Being a sim city fan this is the closest thing that ps4 has to sim city. Unfortunately this is far from it. The game is fun for about 2 weeks, Then it seems to loose its luster. Became boring and repetitive.

Excellent, however you do not get the chance to fully experience the latest tech near the end of the campaign. This is an excellent successor to Tropico 4 and adds plenty of new features to keep it interesting.
