nice but a bit repetitive

I played through the tutorials then started the first challenge mission. I couldn't finish it because the game just became too repetitive for me after some hours. Constantly going to the world map, choosing which town your ship sails to, clicking the fast forward, then choosing what to buy/sell. Repeat repeat. Occasionally you'll build some stuff in the town but you have to make lots of money from sales first. There's better simulation strategy games but I'd say buy it if you're looking for 5-10 hours of some fun.

Outstanding economic and political sim

Full of atmosphere and cunning, Patrician III is a rich gaming experience --and not just rich-as-in-wealthy. You get a lot of game for a little money. If you have a head for details, a little math, and a lot of opportunity, you will have a great time sailing across the northern seas of Europe. The kinds of deals you make grow from simple trade to much more involved politics and even warfare. It's a fun study in early capitalism and social responsibility, since your aim is not only to acquire riches and power, but also to bring prosperity and security to the people of your home town. And here's a plug: You can watch my more detailed review at my web site, <a href="http://longtailgamer.com/node/62">Long Tail Gamer</a>.

Classic Strategy Jewel

One of best "tycoon" games ever made. You could develop your ships and "your" towns the way you prefer, and expect a high competency for the profits. Once you are tired of being a merchant you could also try to be a pirate. But your decisions could bring you the public shame. The gameplay is insanely addictive, every minute you want to ship a convoy of goods, build a new ship or try the random missions and characters that you could get in the tavern, all of them very interesting but maybe not so rewarding. The graphics and visuals are delicious even nowadays. As 2D never get old, you could apprecciate all the details in the boats, cities and so. Also the UI is pretty well designed and you have all the info you need when you need it. If you like the idea to trade between historical cities and you like tycoon-kind games you definitely should try this game. A true masterpiece with tons of hours of fun.

The King of Trading Games

Of trading games from this era, most implemented hand-holding features like indicating when prices were good or bad, and some even had straight up auto-trade functionality where you just told a ship to start making you money. These features eventually infected Patrician IV. Patrician III manages to wrap in-depth trading and career features into a simple and easy to understand package. You quickly get the hang of things; yet you still find things to improve on after hundreds of hours. The only real flaw in the game in my opinion, is that after you get rich, trading becomes trivial enough that it can be difficult to motivate yourself to keep optimizing your routes. It's not uncommon for career/progression games to end this way and it's not bad in Patrician III but it is worth noting. Many multiplayer games I've had with friends only start to fizzle out after 50-60 hours; singleplayer games can go for much longer.

Still The Best

This is an old favorit that I played for countless hours when it was released a very long time ago. I still have the original box kept among my valuable memories. The game to my surprise is still very enjoyable. It's an economy simulator with some role playing features and lots of variation to what you can do. I'm quite impressed by how much efforts have been put in to small subtle details, something I didn't notice or appreciated enough when I played it many years ago. The UI is intuitive and the game has a good balance between micro- and macro- management. I set the speed to slow or very slow and just enjoy watching my trade empire grow over time. The graphics still works pretty well and the background music and sound as well. The resolution tough is sadly -to my knowledge- not adapted for newer/wider screens. I would love to see a remake of this game. Just don't change what already works because the basic game is excellent! There are newer and better looking games for sure but remove the shiny stuff and Patrician 3 will still be the superior one.
