Sticking to the core business without having to micromanage a thousands things and I like the sort of basic graphics, too.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
13 of 98 sampled reviews raised it
All of the elements of sub warfare are included - a patrol zone (many actually), replayability, different subs to "drive", and the last time I read, there will also be an AA component added at some point.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
9 of 98 sampled reviews raised it
With that being said the learning curve is relatively short, and makes getting a kill many times more rewarding than it is in games like Uboat.
Interface
Players who bring up Interface mostly praise it.
6 of 98 sampled reviews raised it
It is all the parts I love about a subsim - all the tension along with all the tactics wrapped in a deep but simple, slick interface.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
4 of 98 sampled reviews raised it
The two things I want to give a shout to are probably the same things that everyone else talks about which is the sound design and the enemy AI.
