"A truly great subsim transcends computer game mechanics to stimulate the imagination the way books like
Iron Coffins and
U977, and films like
Das Boot did. Writing about Silent Hunter 5 is a challenge. There's no way to sugarcoat it, the game has lots of issues and shortcomings, but it does some things well and it's a lot more fun to play it than write about it. One thing it does magnificently is give the player a very realistic sense of being on a U-boat. "
