UBOAT

This game really surprised me despite having a long way to go in “beta” state. Nevertheless, Uboat is still very playable if you work around the bugs and save often. It also looks rather stunning on a higher end system. Furthermore, if you love sub sims you are missing out. Uboat primarily stresses the importance of logistics and crew management. Most time is spent managing the crew while jumping around the North Atlantic in and out of time compression while avoiding detection by enemy patrols. On the other hand, combat can be exhilarating with a sense of immersion unmatched by any other single player sub simulator. Consider it an achievement to sink one or two freighters and live to talk about it. Just make sure you have enough fuel and a healthy crew to make it home. Some missions are milk runs; others are frightening ordeals. I have experienced patrols shadowing me for quite some time while submerged driving me to go deeper to evade. Escaping a depth charge attack is tense and deeply satisfying. The future potential of this sim is fantastic.

Zuunu says only 3 updates. I have the game via STEAM. It was initially released in Apr 2019, v114. Since then, 115, 116, 117, 118, 119, 120, 121,122, 123, 124, 125, 126, 127 and 128 have come out and stabilized.129 was just released into early beta. It is unstable, but available for play testing. No less than FOURTEEN updates have been released since the initial version. I do not play in 1st person, though that is an option. Over all, the sim does superb job, of replicating the stress of a subs wartime patrol. HIGHLY recommend this game.

As an old nuclear submariner myself, this game is pretty interesting! It took me a few plays to get using the crew and ship operations. This game is a challenge! Music, food varity, and workload definately are real things Bubbleheads have to deal with! And having a MONSTER PC helps (hehe) running 2SLI GTX970, 16GB RAM, X99 mother board it plays well! I know this game is under construction, some issues I have had are.. -Deck gun sometimes bugged can"t use, fires but no sound or shell used -Use of periscope's or Con binocullars slow turning to get to targets or just using slow -yeah the real thing does not turn fast but REAL periscopes turn a little faster than the game- plz work on. -some screen tearing-mostly btwn ship's CON and Below Decks. Good job and keep going Devlopers!!! FInished product should be GREAT!!! I like the fact the UBOAT is numbered after U96 from DAS BOOT!!!!!!

I got this game on Steam. As of this writing it is still a work in progress. However, I'm quite pleased with the gameplay up to this point. The graphics are nice and solid. The ocean is beautifully rendered, and resembles the water in Assassin's Creed Black Flag. I got a chance to successfully play through the short story mode, and am going back to play a more open ended campaign. Sometimes, the objectives are a little confusing, like when I tried to recover loot from the waves after defeating ships, or struggling to capture prisoners from life rafts (not sure if I'm allowed to even do that,) but I like how this game gives you the freedom to do what you want. I know the game isn't quite finished, but so far it's is very promising, and very polished. I'm rooting for this game.
