    Port Royale 4 is a wonderful game, and the compromises that were made to bring it to Nintendo Switch are minor and easy to overlook. This is the kind of simulator that you can end up spending hundreds of hours with, and as one of the rare genres that aren't over-represented on the console, this is an excellent first port of call for genre fans looking for some on-the-go thinkies.

    An offshore adventure in which you can manage dozens of tasks and invest hundreds of hours, although it does have some small performance and optimization issues. For the first time, battles go from real-time to turn-based combat in which you move through hexes using skills and more.

    This is a trade simulation and therefore it should be easy to setup a trade route that has the potential to make me some cash. UnfortunatelyThis is a trade simulation and therefore it should be easy to setup a trade route that has the potential to make me some cash. Unfortunately the system at hand is almost as bad as it can get. To setup a trade route you have to take a sheet of paper with a map of the game-world on it and then check every city in the game one by one to see if they pay good money for the wares you have for sale and after that mark these cities on your sheet of paper with the map on it. You do this for all wares you have to sell and afterwards will be able to setup the trade route with the help of your notes. Unbelievable!… Expand
