Kenshi vs Tropico 5
Kenshi
Kenshi is an open world, semi-sandbox, party-based RPG that offers players an completely open-ended gameplay rather than opting to force players to go through a storyline. You can be anyone you like in this game, be it an honest trader, an adventurer, a bandit or others. Scavenge important resources, including weapons and armor, from corpses and use them for your own. Recruit new companions from towns, build an outpost of your own, and grow it to accomodate more of your companions. Of course, as your little town thrives, bandits and jealous rivals will attack you and you'll need to make sure all your people have what they need to defend the town and repel the invaders.Sounds like fun? Well, it definitely is. However, Kenshi, being a pretty ambitious early access game, does have it fair share of flaws. The game still has plenty of glitches still and can be really hard to get into, especially at the beginning of the game where you literally have no idea what you need to do.
That said, the game is very unique because it has a pretty rare theme and its gameplay - a combination of party-based survival/ base building - is also oddly rare among the other games on the market. So, you might want to check this game out.
Tropico 5
Tropico 5 lets you reprise your role as a dictator of a nice tropical nation where, this time around, you'll get to expand your country from the early colonial period into the future. The game features improved and advanced new mechanics for trading, research, and exploration. Interestingly, there are a few brand new features in this installment including the dynasty system where cronism finally get a chance to flourish alongside corruption, and two types of multiplayer modes, namely co-op and competitive multiplayer (up to 4 players).Some players prefers the 4th game rather than the 5th and it is somewhat obvious to know why. For Tropico 5, once you've figured out a "formula" which admittedly can take awhile unless you go and look it up on YouTube, you can keep using it for all the maps and missions. This simply turns Tropico 5 into a hilariously simple game to play. That said, Tropico has always been a game that works that way and if you really want a challenge, you can easily make things worse for yourself and your people before trying to fix everything up again.
