Problem:
Problem: There is a "please review our game" message, that blocks 40% of the main menu. Closing the message is only a temporary solution. Hypothesis: Reviewing the game should disable the message. Result: The message still prompts you to review the game. Conclusion: Mobile gaming practices had a negative influence on gaming as a whole.

Great ideas, rough execution
This latest entry in a series that peaked with Tropico 4 jettisons a number of useful features in favour of a bland logistics simulation that encourages little more than stamping down basic housing and services and specialising in a couple of obviously optimal production chains. The old political system in which factions had a coherent set of goals in line with their ideology based on satisfying economic and social needs now revolves around meeting random demands to build or do things you don't need, with relations penalties for declining these nonsense objectives. Citizens frequently make stupid decisions about where they live, work and meet their needs, happily driving across the country (or spending months waiting at bus stops) instead of using the services in their community. Mitigating this leads to every island devolving into the same few tired optimisation problems, leaving little room for experimentation or visual variety if you want your treasury to stay out of the red. Avatar customisation is minimal and has almost no effect on gameplay, so the days of setting up your leader for a particular strategy and theming your island around it are gone. The previously vast array of decorative items is now replaced with a dozen or so park blocks of various sizes, none of which are particularly interesting to look at. There are one or two interesting features here that weren't present in prior editions, but nothing that makes up for the depth and charm that has been lost along the way.

Tropico 3 was a very good game
Tropico 3 was a very good game. Tropico 4 took a few step forward from that, and has been my favorite city building game for a long while now. Tropico 5 felt like a few steps back and many steps sideways - it's a bit of a different direction, one that had potential but I don't think they used this potential correctly at the time. I also feel like Tropico 5 really reduced the Tropican atmosphere of the series. Stuff like the building textures, the characters voices and lines, lots of details... it didn't feel like Tropico. Tropico 6 is a return to the standard of Tropico 4, but it seems to incorporate a few of the things that worked well from Tropico 5, and it takes some steps forward on having a cleaner interface and lots of content right on launch. So far, the impressions from the beta and the now released game are fantastic, and I fully expect that Tropico 6 will surpass Tropico 4 as my favorite city building game. The most contentious change here is the lack of a campaign; instead the Scenarios are built in a way to resemble a free-form campaign, which might work just as well.
