Despite not being that far out from launch, the online community for Tropico 5 is virtually nonexistent at this point. However, I didn't find much opportunity to play it. I also didn't run into any annoying max population bugs or any major development issues.įinally, the last component of Tropico 5 is online play, both co-op and versus. All in all, pedestrian traffic in-game is really solid this time, and you won't have to babysit your road development nearly as much as you did in prior Tropico releases.
TROPICO 5 PS4 REVIEWS PATCH
I didn't run across any major issues once patch 1.03 hit, which fixed a particularly nasty and annoying issue regarding Teamster traffic. Thanks to a couple of early patches, most of the significant bugs that seem to plague Tropico titles at launch have been wiped out.

While Tropico 5's campaign provides an ample amount of playtime, you can also whittle away hours in the excellent sandbox mode, which allows you to develop island nations without any pesky breaks between time periods.
TROPICO 5 PS4 REVIEWS MANUAL
I'd highly suggest making ample use of the manual save system early on, since you'll often want to double back to correct mistakes that aren't uncovered until much later in the game. I ran into some trouble with the final two stages because of this and found that my economy was underbaked, which made it difficult to stay in the black during the late game. Each stage focuses on a particular island, but you'll constantly pick up where you left off, so while early stages might not seem hard, you'll want to pay attention to how you build early on. Many optional activities involve reaching a certain relationship level with different countries, so you still need to establish connections with various world powers.Īs you play through the campaign of Tropico 5, which is fairly lengthy and difficult, you're tasked with completing different stages across two different islands. There's a looming threat of being invaded, but it happens rarely, and with a sufficient army, you'll have little trouble in repelling attacks. There's little need to woo world powers to your cause, outside of the bonus cash that can be earned for positive relationships. Even then, you do little more than praise or send delegations to those world powers to build up your reputation. You can interact with a small number of world powers until you reach the modern era. You still build an embassy to enhance your influence with countries like the United States and Russia, but you'll do so slowly, as Tropico 5 works its way through the early 1900s and onward. Admittedly, this is dialed back from what was available in Tropico 4. This can often help in offloading unnecessary or surplus resources for more cash.Īnother factor that plays a part in your success in Tropico 5 is diplomacy and balancing your relationships between different world powers. A major addition to Tropico 5 are trade routes, an option built into your docks that grant a limited number of ships and trade routes based on your diplomatic relationships. Once you have enough resources, you can create factories to create items like cigars and jewelry, and then you can export those items or resources to America, Europe, Russia, and so on. You can even uncover oil, both on land and off-shore, and build ranches or plantations. There are a number of resources available, so you'll have access to various mines that contain bauxite, coal, gold, iron and uranium. You can even seek out particularly skilled residents and appoint them as managers, who can add small bonuses to the buildings or surrounding areas and further improve your status as El Presidente.Įvery structure you build dips into the treasury pool, so you'll also need to focus on your in-game economy. The buildings you create and how you choose to staff those structures play a major part in keeping the populace appeased. The citizens in Tropico 5 can be a finicky bunch, and you'll need to balance needs like entertainment, food, liberty and religion to keep them happy. Most of these constructs are self-explanatory, such as apartments and tenements for housing, hospitals and clinics for health care, and taverns and restaurants for entertainment.

You have access to a variety of buildings and other structures that'll help you overcome any scenario the campaign throws your way.
