After some research, I went for Tropico 4 as my first entry into the franchise and it's safe to say that this game is addictve. I wish I had have discovered this game sooner. It reminds me of a mash up of Sim City and Civilisation. Despite being an 'aged game', all of the graphics and UI work perfectly for me in 2026.

I like the graphics, and its like a real 3rd world island country, but I do not like how it freezes up and your stuck and cannot get out of the game. I also, dislike how you cannot alter the landscape to your liking; such as leveling mountains and how you take people out of prison.

Lots of fun to play. The game itself is great. The music and the remarks of the characters really add to the enjoyment. The more recent Tropico 6 lost most of the appeal.

This, for the moment, is the definitive tropico experiance and one of the best city builder games to ever exist. It never takes itself seriously. It never escalates a situation. It always feels blisfully silly while taking on serious political matters. It's just the game where you chill out, and actually behave like a careless, sometimes clueless, dictator.
