So you build the same little nations, plant the same farms, dig the same mines, suck up to the same powers-that-be in the USA and USSR, and appease the same mix of battling island factions.
There's a new story about the big guy battling a mysterious cabal called The Conclave that is instilling chaos across the globe, but the challenge remains the same as it always has in the Tropico series. You get 12 lengthy scenarios (expect at least 20 hours of play) spread among the numerous tropical islands that make up El Presidente's Latin American fiefdom. Instead of revamping your life as a tropical tyrant, the expansion recycles the core concepts that powered both Tropico 3 and 4, making for a tedious, vaguely irritating experience for all but diehard fans of the franchise.Įven new edicts like the Festival of Love are just gimmicky frills that add little to the original Tropico 4 gameplay.Īn all-new solo campaign forms the heart of Modern Times. But ditching the golden age of Caribbean dictators doesn't work out too well, due to a boring campaign that relies far too much on phony obstacles to make the same-old, same-old challenges play out any differently than in last year's game.
Tropico 4 has been dragged into the future with Modern Times, an expansion that moves the Banana Republic simulation into today's high-tech world of cell phones and Facebook. DO NOT BUY! Honestly as someone who is used to challenging games, I found Hollow Knight to be one of the worst.Welcome to life after the Cold War, El Presidente. You start with a little guy that has 1 attack (3, if DO NOT BUY! Honestly as someone who is used to challenging games, I found Hollow Knight to be one of the worst.
I found the challenge here to be gimmicky at best, with cheap mid-boss enemies, damage model based on hits and touches by enemies and awkward controls/platforming made even worse on the Switch thanks to the Joy-Cons. You start with a little guy that has 1 attack (3, if you count directional attacks as well), a heal spell and a jump. No block, no dash/evade, no way to avoid getting hit and as I've mentioned getting touched means getting hit. The enemies are very agile and have a long reach, you yourself are very small and cover a short area, which leads to a lot of cases where you are being hit while trying to hit. In short, the combat is abhorrent! There is no learning curve like what you had in the Souls games, where if you could overcome a difficult enemies/sequence you could get past it by learning from mistakes, learning new moves and strategies. There's none of the here, as the game is very straight forward.
TROPICO 4 MODS DIFFICULTY ARCHIVE
The platforming is probably the worst offender, it has this this awful downward attack that you have to use to get through some parts which is a pain to archive on the Joy-con.

HOLLOW KNIGHT PC ENEMIES ARE INVISIBLE ARCHIVE Add to that tight jumping sequences where you are harassed by enemies you cant avoid. Some enemies respawn while you rest at a bench, others respawn if you exit an area, making making it feel very inconsistent. The area maps that you have to purchase, which is incomplete when you buy it, also updates new areas you've been through while resting at a bench. You have to grind your ass off to buy basic game mechanics, like maps, map pins, etc. Overall I think this game tries so hard to be a 2D souls but falls flat due to all of the above, instead being nothing more than an over hyped poor attempt with pretty aesthetics. As it is, the game is unplayable and enjoyable without a scale back on the difficulty, maybe with a easy mode added. If you're looking for a Souls like, you won't find it in Hollow Knight.
