So it can be hard at times to keep track of your fleet of ships. Gameplay-wise it can become a bit overwhelming at times with the size of the map and places that you travel. Having that semblance to reality and a real setting is nice to see. Nothing against other games, but I feel that similar games tend to have a bit of ‘fantasy’ to them, or are placed in an alternate reality. Having a world-building game that is pretty accurate to the times is really sweet. I’ve always loved history and this time period. Being in the Caribean in the 1500s is a really cool setting. However, this one really hits a little different to me. Like I said earlier, I’ve never been the best at strategies and games similar to this. The goal is to buy, sell, and trade resources to build up your town and grow the economy, as well as keeping civilians happy and healthy. The beta allowed me to play as Spain, with your home base in Seville. You have the option to play as the Netherlands, England, France, and Spain for the full game. You’re placed in the 16th Century and your goal is to trade and build a thriving economy for your area. Keep in mind, this is my thoughts on a Beta and not a full and finished game. I got my hands on a Beta for Port Royale 4. However, I’m willing to always try again. So, I’ve mentioned before that I don’t really have the best skills when it comes to ‘world-building’ games’ (see FrostPunk Review).
