I was able to look back on all the time I had put in over the past century of progress and see the different neighborhoods that had begun to take shape a historic district from the turn of the century, a modern commercial sector, even an old-time colonial government district sprinkled with museums.

Tropico 5 doesn't settle for a single set of cookie cutter tiles. ![]() That attention to detail was extended to the many buildings available for purchase. ![]() Instead of making me chuckle, Tropico 5 constantly reminded me of all the blood staining my hands. It was hard for me to get perspective on all the charming quirks of Kim Jong Il, Envar Hoxha and Nicolae Ceaușescu - people who I was imitating in the game - when I knew that they were responsible for the rape, murder and enslavement of many thousands, perhaps even millions of real people. Then, you can look at the individual family trees and confirm that you have made their partners into widows and orphaned their children. But then in this game you can watch as soldiers run from your palace, kick in the doors of private homes and shoot dissenters in their sleep. The game sells itself as an escape from the confines of traditional city-building video games that take themselves too seriously. Instead of injecting levity into the game, they only served to darken the mood. Each one has a sentence or two that shares some lighter anecdotes about infamous dictators. During loading screens players are treated to a series of gorgeous oil-paintings, the kind you might pick up yourself at a roadside stand on some tropical island.
