It’s the final week of August, one other summer season is slipping away, the children will quickly be again to highschool, and for some cause which means Tropico 4, the banana republic administration sim, is free for the subsequent three days on GOG.
Tropico 4 will not be the newest and welcome boost to the long-running city-and-politics simulator: That honor goes to Tropico 6, which got here out in 2019. But you recognize what Tropico 4 has that Tropico 6 (and, for that matter, Tropico 5) would not? It’s free. Come on, we have already coated this.
It’s additionally a fairly good sport: “It’s not an ideal leap ahead, however rising bananas and rigging elections stays remarkably entertaining,” we stated in our 72% overview. And should you dig the Tropico 4 expertise and need much more, GOG additionally has the Tropico 4 Complete DLC Pack on for half-price. That’s an entire lot of Tropico for lower than a tenner.
I do not suppose there’s any kind of direct connection between back-to-school and Tropico, however GOG can also be having a Back to School sale, which considerably satirically seems to be focused at individuals who do not even have to return to highschool: “If these days are behind you, then it simply means extra time for gaming!”
More than 5,800 video games are discounted to various extents—a couple of that instantly catch my eye embody the Alien: Isolation Collection (80% off), Gris (80% off), Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War 2 Master Collection (80% off), The Night of the Rabbit, which I’ll by no means not advocate (90% off), and—throwing one out for my man Joshua—Alpha Protocol (20% off). There’s much more than simply that to dig by means of clearly, however we do not have all day right here. (That stated I’d be remiss if I did not be aware that Deus Ex: Human Revolution Director’s Cut is 85% off and that, my associates, is a steal.)
GOG’s Back to School sale runs till September 10, however Tropico 4 is barely free till August 29. Snag it whilst you can.
