The first-person game play is an intriguing and welcome feature, but it isn’t developed enough. Unfortunately, as a whole Silent Hunter 5 feels hastily slapped together.

You can stealthily take on enemy vessels with your deck gun or torpedoes, then dive when their destroyers show up. You won’t find enemy vessels littering the ocean you must hunt for them based on intelligence, and where your target is most likely to be. As with the other games in the series, hunting enemy ships is fun and exciting. Indeed, Silent Hunter 5 does many things right. You can chat with the crew about everyday topics to raise morale and boost their abilities with promotion points. Instead, players walk around nearly every part of the boat to issue orders directly to crew members. The game does away with issuing orders by pressing buttons. Players command a German Type VII U-boat and combat Allied forces across the Atlantic Ocean and Mediterranean Sea in a campaign spanning 1939–1943.

Many bugs and performance issues will also bog down your ability to enjoy the game." The campaign missions are fairly low-key, with quick missions not really matching the depth of the gameplay. GameZone's Steven Hopper said, "The game offers some deep elements, but the overwhelming interface and steep learning curve make it very difficult to get into.
