What Steam players say

Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.

✦ AI summary

Tropico 5 is praised as a deep and entertaining management sim with excellent variety in campaigns, missions, and gameplay systems that hold up well, offering a fun and relaxed experience of running a quirky island dictatorship with plenty of content and sandbox freedom. However, players note that the gameplay pace can be quite slow, and some feel the game lacks the atmosphere and music of its predecessor Tropico 4, with occasional frustrations around unpredictable citizen happiness mechanics.

Games like Portal 2 all share one habit: teach a single impossible trick, then spend a campaign breaking it. From rewinding objects through time to Escher geometry that loops back on itself.

Planet Coaster DLC: skip the collection, buy the packs

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
