Utilize the grand potential of the sea by building waterborne structures around your island. Build new off-shore alternatives to defence, sustenance, energy, entertainment and housing – each coming with their own opportunities and disadvantages. Organize and coordinate transport to structures like the kelp and oyster farms, construct tidal power plants as an eco-friendly alternative to nuclear power and build intricate floating apartments if you’re running out of space on the island.
Launch military submarines to bolster your naval forces or create an exotic bathysphere attraction to compliment your bustling tourist paradise.
Waterborne can offer hours of new excitement for those who loved the original Tropico 5, but most gamers are better off picking the title up when it goes on sale and then deciding how they feel about it before exploring the idea of extra content.
To me, Waterborne felt more like a $10 DLC than a $20 expansion pack.
None of it is essential, nor is it inspired.
Swiss Bank-building fun is provided for the truly dedicated, but there isn't anything here with lasting value or appeal.
