There's no denying that the scenic landscapes and ocean views in Patrician 4 are beautiful. Kalypso and Gaming Minds put a lot of effort into creating an aesthetically elegant trading sim, as you can see in this trailer. I really enjoyed their port of Darkstar One, but the big focus in that game was the space combat; with the setting shifted to the Middle Ages and the gameplay focused on naval trading, I'm not sure Patrician 4 is my cup of tea. Maybe I should do more of the trading missions in Darkstar to get acclimated.
