Port Royale 3 has potential if you're into the whole trading and pirate thing, I'll give it that. Building up your ship fleet and conquering towns is fun for a while, and the Caribbean setting is cool. But man, the menus are a mess, the AI is dumb, and it can get REALLY grindy after a few hours. If you're desperate for a historical trading sim, there might be some fun here, but I'd honestly look for something a little more polished.
