Mount & Blade: Warband vs Tropico 5
Mount & Blade: Warband
Mount & Blade: Warband is hailed as one of the best installments in the Mount & Blade game franchise.

Assemble your army of battle-hardened warriors and dive into the fray as you battle your way up to what you want! The game brings realism to medieval battlefields with a ton of improvements, ranging from the ability to turn thrown weapons into a make-shift close combat weapon when the enemy gets too close to the ability to pick up projectiles off the ground to be used as extra munitions. There plenty of new features as well. You can now marry a lady for political gain or simply because you like her; grant lands to your companions, turning them into your vassals; as well as its incredible multiplayer battles that support up to 64 players and has varying modes. The game's multiplayer aspect is also very well-balanced, so that players will be able to fight each other on a somewhat equal footing.Mount & Blade: Warband is the epitome of the Mount & Blade series and honestly, if you're a fan or even a newcomer looking to give the series a try, this is definitely the game to get. The game is available on both PC and consoles (PlayStation and Xbox).
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.
