The game loop is rewarding enough to play. I'm not a fan of the combat system though.

Port Royale 3 exemplifies entertainment's power to repackage historical atrocities into consequence-free simulations. You're being sold an ideological framework that normalizes exploitation while calling it strategy. The technical competence of its economic simulation only makes its moral vacuum more disturbing. Worth playing only if you acknowledge you're participating in historical revisionism as entertainment.

Not bad but feels like a down grade from Port Royale 2 for trading and fleet features. It's still fun and a bit easier to play in some regards.

I never got a chance to play this game when i was a kid, i loved it. now an adult i try so much as to play the game and it either crashes or just infinitely has a loading screen for setting up a route. after 180 hours.. port royale 3 is one of my favorites besides port royale 2. i cannot say the same about port royale 4. while yes realistically has new system and plays differently it does not feels the same as port royale 2 or 3. hopefully this game gets a remaster that works with newer windows system.

Good game in general, runs very well on PC. Pure management and trade in the Caribbean. However the game is almost too easy with the automatic route mechanics and this is where the game becomes relatively empty in terms of content (It's absolutely not like a Sid Meier's Pirate). Very good for spending a few hours, shilling while scolding your business but it won't go any further. It seems that Port Royale 2 or the Patrician series brings more depth.
