RollerCoaster Tycoon World vs Tropico Reloaded
RollerCoaster Tycoon World
RollerCoaster Tycoon World is possibly the worst RollerCoaster Tycoon game ever and this is completely ironic because this game comes after the insane success that is RollerCoaster Tycoon 3. The thing about this game is that the gameplay itself isn't exactly that bad. It simply offers players more of the same stuff - place attractions including amazing prebuilt rollercoasters though you can build coasters yourself as well, set up facilities and paths for your visitors, adjust the pricing and sit back and watch the money roll in. RollerCoaster Tycoon World feels a lot like a massive city building games, SimCity and City: Skylines where "congestion" can occur if you do not lay enough paths for your visitors to walk on, especially for high traffic areas around incredibly popular rides.However, things went to the dogs once your park starts to attract a ton more visitors. For a game that's not exactly graphically-heavy, your frame rate will plummet and everything will move in glitchy slow motion, making the game literally unplayable. For an established franchise like RollerCoaster Tycoon, this poor optimization of the game's performance is outright disappointing. Worst yet, apparently the developers have given up completely on the game, not bothering to even fix the problems that every single player encounter. Of course, that's not including the huge amount of bugs, some of which are game-breaking, that this game is infested with.
Thus, to sum up, if you want to enjoy a fun amusement park tycoon game, you might want to opt for any of the other RollerCoaster Tycoon games except this one.
Tropico Reloaded
Tropico Reloaded is a strategic nation-building game that may feel a little like one of those really in-depth city-building simulation games. However, playing the role of the leader of a banana republic rather than simply being the mayor, you have a wider reach and influence over your people - you can choose to rule with an iron grip or with benevolence - and also the ability to amass an army to defend your said republic from external invaders and internal dissidents. Of course, you can also choose to be corrupt and set aside some funds for your swiss bank account.The game's expansion, Tropico: Paradise Island allows you to not only bring natural disasters on your people but also build tourist attractions as you open up your country for others to visit and of course, to bring in tons of cash. This reloaded version even includes Tropico 2, which will see you ruling over a pirate island as the Pirate King.
Tropico lets players enjoy the fun of managing their own country in their own respective ways much like a simulation game would, and yet, there is also a strategic element to it as you'll need to lead your armies or pirate crew to defend your people from time to time. This game may appeal to fans of city-builders or people who have always imagine themselves leading a nation.
