What Tropico 6's DLCs should have been from the start

This DLC earns a true expansion status and harkens back to the good parts of 4 and 5's content. There's a series of 5 missions with new and interesting mechanics, fun characters and funny dialogue.

The new buildings are a bit hit-or-miss outside of the missions, but overall bring a good new dimension to the game – even if thematically the drones a bit out of place if you build them right away after getting into Modern Times. The Cargo Airport alone makes for a lot more options and possibilities of arranging your island.

The only big miss in my opinion is the new edicts. Drone-related ones are alright, even if they're a bit of a "win more" kind of deal. The Q-ult stuff and Gig Economy are basically just jokes about current events that land flat, while providing almost no gameplay benefit.

Overall this is a very solid buy and a large improvement over the previous piecemeal DLCs, providing both a series of entertaining missions and a few new ways to build and enhance your Sandbox islands.

Oh and one more thing – give me the Fertility Cannon in Sandbox. Just do it.
