Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
The gameplay and graphics are very nice, but this damn mission is on the southwestern shore of England. unless you are prepared to do a 12 hours long session going back and forth through the the damn Norwegian Sea (believe me, it sucks, it takes time and it's boring), you won't get past the first mission.

Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
There are some gameplay/QOL optimization issues but I personally feel from my experience with Silent Hunter 4 that this is the best game in the Silent Hunter series.
