The problem is that while Cities: Skylines and Witcher 3 had downgraded graphics but maintained its solid gameplay, Tropico 6 has its gameplay interrupted by technical issues. Again, we’ve seen this before with other Switch ports, like Cities: Skylines or The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. This is to be expected on Switch ports, and the issue is a bit less noticeable in handheld mode (although you can clearly see the details pulled back). To get the game to run on Switch, the developers obviously needed to take some of the shine away from building details, construction details, island details, and pretty much any other details.
