If you have ever played Microprose's B-17 the mighty eighth, this is the exact same game, only aboard a U-boat instead of a B-17 bomber.
the game wont be for everyone.
if you read through this and have been keeping up with the thread and videos and release notes dev diarys etc and were expecting a sandbox survival game - as advertised - congratulations, you wont be disappointed.
If you didnt do the above, and were thinking this was going to be hours of watching a circle drive across a map while you didnt have to do anything expect sink ships and not run out of gas, well.. you will be sorely upset about your purchase.
this game is 100% about managing your crew, and im not talking about stuff like making sure the radio man goes to the radio when he is supposed to, or making the watch crew individually go on deck... because they do that stuff automatically under 90% of circumstances.
where this game shines, is that you are in charge of a crew of 20 some odd officers and sailors now, not just a one man point and click captain.
do you like playing sims 4?
do you like playing silent hunter?
marry the two and live happily ever after.
but if you HATE sims 4 but LOVE silent hunter... this would be a solid pass.
personally, im crazy about this game and have dedicated an embarrassing amount of play time to it over the past few days.
