High Seas, High Profits!

Tiene potencial pero está muy verde en algunas mecanicas, se le tiene que dar tiempo para que añadan más profundidad y detalles.

Not my cup of tea, but well made for people who like sandbox trading games. Could do with better tutorials, guides, etc for automation. For a game of this complexity I would prefer some sort of campaign or mission list. But, it was cheap enough that I still will recommend it.

I've been looking for a modern fix for my Patrician/Port Royale itch for years. Found it!

The worst thing about Patrician IV was its snotty development team and worthless Community Forums. My experience with those folks at Kalypso Media and Gaming Minds Studio, plus the dweeb Europeans on the forums, really turned me off to that game and its community. However, it remained the best version of a boat-trader for basically all time. I mention this first because every game that seeks to come after Patrician IV will be compared to it. (Just like other hallmark games like XCOM, CIV, Dark Souls, etc.) So, here is where "High Seas, High Profits!" comes in. So far, I genuinely like this game. While it currently does not compare to Patrician IV in every way, it definitely has two things going for it: (1) it compares very well to P4 in the most important ways; and (2) I believe that it has the potential to be better than P4. On that second point, Patrician IV ran out of juice at the very end of its development; and while many Quality of Life (QOL) things coordinated with its awesome city-building (and land routes, to a smaller extent) schematics, it just never did get over the hump with some of its bugs and features. High Seas, High Profits! (HSHP) seems to be a much more simplified version than P4 though as an obvious homage. From what I can tell so far, HSHP could really add, subtract, and multiply on the the greatest qualities of Patrician IV and make them better. At this time, however, it is not really close; but I see the path ahead, if this developer (Lexy) ever takes all the money he's raking in and does this. I would recommend that we all play Patrician IV for some hours, write down notes, and then tell Lexy what we want. He can then make them his own thing, but even expand on other good ideas that we can come up with. Basically, I want more of this game; and I never want to remember Patrician IV again.

Ogólnie gra jest spoko, ale spędziłem w niej jakieś półtora godziny i mam wrażenie, że zdążyłem poznać już każdą zawartą w niej mechanikę. Zwiedziłem całą mapę, pomagałem burmistrzowi, walczyłem z piratami, postawiłem swój biznes i magazyn, wybudowałem parę nowych statków, założyłem zautomatyzowany konwój. Wszystko w nieco ponad godzinę, dodatkowo mam wrażenie, że każda z tych mechanik jest dosyć płytka i prosta, jakbym grał w Early Access. Wiadomo, że gdybym chciał zostać najbogatszym handlarzem na świecie to mógłbym spędzić w tej grze jeszcze całkiem sporo godzin, ale to byłoby już w kółko robienie tego samego. Recenzję zostawiam pozytywną, bo gra jest przyjemna tylko mało rozwinięta. Pewnie to ja mam zbyt wysokie wymagania, niejeden by powiedział, że w takiej cenie jak najbardziej warto, bo muszę przyznać, że gierka nie jest zbyt droga, ale jak dla mnie i tak na to co oferuje to szkoda mi takich pieniędzy, dlatego ją zwróciłem.

Pretty good economy simulator, probably the best trading focused game I've played. Wish you could buy/delete city and other trader buildings though. Campaign can be a little rough when it doesn't tell you what your future goals are (last campaign has a housing and happiness check late into the mission with no warning that can be rough/slow to get past if you helped your city grow too much earlier).
