    I loved Ports of Call both the original and XXL versions, so I went into this game hoping for more of the same but even though I played for many hours I found the game lacking in a few areas.

    The world map really needs a zoom function as sometimes it can be hard to see the different ports, having to unlock ports is also frustrating especially the smaller ports when it is hard to find any contracts going there, a list so you are able to see the condition of your ships at a glance, a lit of ports and what they supply so I don't have to click on each one looking for a particular cargo, The missions your Investor gives you in career are stupid, they give you way too much to do in a short space of time, most times when you don't have the ship or equipment required, also the company contracts are never worth it as you will spend most of the money on fuel sending an empty ship back to the first port as there is never anything going there.

    Graphic wise the game looks very good but as I said there is just not enough there to help you, a lot of info you need is missing, plus it is annoying to save up for a new ship, be near your goal and then have your investor take away most of your cash sometimes driving you deep in debt.

    TL:DR, an ok game needs some more work to make it a good game.    … Expand

    A game that came out of nowhere and made me play it ‘just 5 more minutes’ for long hours. [13/2014, p.66]

    This is a game with a very unique subject and fun contracts, but you do not really get to control the ship yourself and the choices you make have too little influence.

    It's a sold simulation if you like the genre but with several bugs and unnecessary mini games.
