7. Tropico 5 (2014) by Kalypso Media Group

Tropico 5 gameplay trailer on YouTube.

 In Tropico 5, you’re turning a little island in the Caribbean into something that isn’t a poor waste of land.  It is said to be painstakingly detailed and realistic.  The game is rated T though for alcohol, language, suggestive themes, tobacco, and violence; so you might not want your kids playing it. 

Regardless, Kalypso’s been at this a while and they know what they’re doing.  If there’s one thing to be said about Tropico 5 over the other games in this list, it’s the sheer amount of DLC add-ons, each with their own scenarios, buildings, maps, and music. 

This is the Waterborne Expansion Gameplay trailer, for more of a taste of the DLC. 

Tropico 5 has a lot of variety in it, which is pretty sweet.  It rates somewhere between Amazing and Epic here on GamersDecide.
