In my opinion, It's currently the best Sub Sim you can get. Not just a Sim, but a survival sandbox and Rpg.

I'd like to first make clear that I purchased this game on sale for $8.99. It's an awesome game if you love simulators, WW2, naval warfare, exploration, RPGs, and more. Open world, RPG-like systems for crew members, continuing story, multiple ways to approach situations. The game is great. I'd love to see more sea fauna and flora to make exploration more exciting. I'd also like to see a few UI features simplified. The game needs tooltips and a better tutorial. This is not an easy game and it is *riddled* with bugs. That being said, the bugs are there because this game was made by a small team and you can really feel the love in it. Watch tutorials, Wolfpack on YouTube is an excellent place to start, and you'll be able to figure out the game and see why so many people end up loving this game, bugs and all.

Addictive fun, and excellent role-play. Well... If you're into historical simulations that is. Good fun old sport

Once you get over the learning curve and you've gotten into the meat of the game, it's phenomenal. The settings allow you to be either a total novice and push a button to fire a torpedo, or to be an absolute wartime Chad and triangulate trajectories, ship speed, earth curvature, and weather conditions to find a successful shot (not to mention placement on the ship you're trying to sink, which is essential - hitting a Destroyer in the magazine can be the difference between life, or being dragged down to Davy Jones locker with your Uboat and crew after being depthcharged into oblivion).
You can down everything from freighters and tankers, to little fast-attack boats, to gigantic, massive battleships and huge carriers. The game has a cohesive storyline that follows the events of WWII. I'm not sure how it ends yet as I'm enjoying my time earning medals (I'm like maybe 80 tons away from the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross with Oakleaves, Swords, and Diamonds as of this posting - yep, I've got the itchy throat, I need me them medals - got my Knight's Cross after I sneaked into Scalpa Flow and blew up the HMS Royal Oak at anchor, lost with all hands).
Can't recommend the game enough. If you like wartime games, playing as WWII-era Deutschland (with phenomenal German voice overs) and simulators, either easy or extremely difficult ones, you can't go wrong, folks.

Best Subsim since glory days of Silent Hunter 3 & 4. Variable difficulty/reality settings, active modders, ongoing updates and support from the devs, what's not to like.

Over all the game is very fun and engaging. There are a multitude of customization options depending on how realistic (hard) you want it to be. I feel like with even more work by the devs this game will be a true gem. Don't be afraid to give it a shot. It's amazing

Good SIM in real time, this is a relaxing chill game for me. I don't play this as an action packed game (Vietnam Rising Storm or Star Wars Galactic Battle Front II for that) this is good for my Zen. Awsome music & sound effects bring me deep into this emersive simulation.

Addicted to it! I started off with a lot of the hand-holding systems automated, then have slowly been turning these off as I get more experience. Fantastic experience, great graphics, great job.
