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.

Dec. 2024

Very fun game, if you're into business games. Even if you're not into pirates and ships. It's fun to start businesses and make sure they're all working properly.

Oct. 2024

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.

You can be a pirate, but there’s arguably more to be made in being a merchant. It’s a thinkers game, and you’ll want to plan ahead of setting sail to make the most of each journey, buying low and selling high.

This game holds up very well even after all these years. Used to play it off a CD and i thought i would try it again after ages. The combat works great compared to Port Royale 4 and with the added content/DLC's there is plenty to do. The trading and economy mechanics are easy to learn, yet still decently complex. The game has a playtime of fulfilling content of around 30 hours minimum, at least from my experience. The only downside is that it crashes on my PC from time to time. It would be a negative review if this game came out recently but since it was made over 10 years ago it is alright. As long as you save the files regularily there isnt a problem. Aswell a plus is that there are plenty of save game slots so you can jump between scenarios, free play or campaign as you please. The Autosave adjusts accordingly. All in all a joyful game to keep one busy for a while.
