I’ve played a lot of these games and mistakenly skipped the tutorial when I first started my review of Port Royale 4. This isn’t a game that most people will easily jump in and sail off into a successful sunset.
Port royale 4 pc review series#
Like I said above, it’s an ambitious series with a lot of inner workings and complexities to each of the gameplay mechanics. Most of them are done well while others are passable. Port Royale 4 has a lot of varied elements to it. Information is presented relatively quickly and the addition of a viceroy helps you feel connected to the surrounding world and nations. Even though I typically avoid campaigns for this style of game, it was actually nice to have a little more guidance after completing the tutorial.Įven though Port Royale 4 doesn’t have the strongest plot guiding your every step, there are a lot of factoids and a wealth of information to be gleaned from the time period. The shape of the world during the 1500’s is imparted to the player before handing control over. An introductory video shows slides while a narrator sets the stage. There is a campaign which lets you play as various nations. There isn’t an overarching narrative to drive your time in the game.
Port Royale 4 is an open waters game where you make it what you will.
Review, to see if Port Royale 4 runs aground or floats to the top. If you want to learn more, now’s the time to board the good ship S.S. I say ambitious because it takes common elements from multiple strategy and sim games and ships them off in one vessel. It’s an ambitious take on the seafaring adventures surrounding the Carribean Islands. Port Royale 4 is a marvel amongst simulator games, especially for one “ported” to the Switch.
