A Great City Builder Alternative

Prior to playing Tropico 5 I had been a big fan of Tropico 3 as well as your traditional city builders. Tropico is different than a city builder game though. You are obviously the ruler of an island and your goal is very open ended. You don’t need to worry about traffic fire stations. It’s a very macro approach; which is what makes Tropico very appealing. Tropico 3 was great, but always felt like it was missing something. Tropico 5 seems to fill the gaps of Tropico 3. There’s a lot of depth to the game and the different eras you can play through help give it even more diversity. The game does have some performance issues and a drop in framerate when first loading the island. But once everything has loaded, the framerate picks back up and it’s a smooth experience. Overall, Tropico 5 comes highly recommended if you are looking for a city builder alternative or if you are a fan of the Tropico franchise.
