Tropico has a history of producing very average filler DLC, while most of them are usually decent bits of fun "Mad World" offers nothing for the user except frustration and torment. It is a grind and is buggy beyond all belief. Parts of the game are uncompletable, not just through technical bugs but also by some mind-blowingly terrible design choices, things that even one playthrough in the office would have raised so many red flags everyone would have gone colourblind.
I struggle to comprehend how a product this flawed can even be released and it is a shame that is has muddied my experience with such a good and interesting franchise.

The massive issue I had was that the scenario repeatedly needs you to identify citizens with symbols over their heads, but once you unlock cars (about 5 minutes in), the only time you can see them is when they are on foot which only happens for split seconds at a time. It creates an infuriating game of whack-a-mole that took me at least 5 times longer than the actual final level of the campaign. Ridiculous oversight that even one test playthrough would have caught.

So True... This Game Is Making the Franchise Go Down The Wrong Path.
