Absolut unbalanced garbage. You wait forever for specific job posts to be filled, even if you build schools and the immigration office. If you do the mistake to pay for specialists from abroad to fill open job posts, they will 100% leave the job posts within the next 1 to 2 years and you will have lost the money you paid to hire them. Another kicker are the tsunamis and earthquakes, which OF COURSE will hit your most important buildings like power stations or your most profitable tourist income building of the scenario. Gimme a break! Spend your hard-earned money on more balanced and refined games, this one is broken and not playable.

Tropico 4 is easily one of my favorites in the series, mainly due to the introduction of the "Dynasty" system. This allowed players to create a family of leaders with unique traits, adding personality and strategy. Unfortunately, this feature was missing in Tropico 5 and Tropico 6, and I really missed it.

The story is surprisingly engaging for a city-building game, with political intrigue and your leader’s rise to power giving the game an unexpected depth. While Tropico 4 is an easy and accessible simulation, which makes it fun to play, it can feel a bit too simplistic for experienced players. Still, the freedom to shape your island nation as you see fit—balancing resources, factions, and power—keeps it enjoyable.

This is the peak of Tropico goodness!
