Silent Hunter: Wolves of the Pacific review

What if they held a war and no one read the manual?

Reviews

When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it works.

Why you can trust GamesRadar+ Our experts review games, movies and tech over countless hours, so you can choose the best for you. Find out more about our reviews policy.

A few rudimentary tutorials do little to help overcome your confusion, providing only a scant bit of radio traffic in an attempt to teach you important gameplay features. Eventually you’ll learn enough to muddle through, but it’s an unnecessary barrier to entry that could have been avoided.

Once you feel more competent, however, Wolves’ involved and exciting gameplay begins generating better vibes. She's a looker, too: the water effects are amazing and tiny details like the convincing splash of water on your periscope lens or the waves that slap against a detailed ship hull really add to the overall presentation. Torpedo explosions are also particularly awesome and they add oomph to every direct hit you score. The only dents in an otherwise sterling graphics presentation are the lack of anti-aliasing and some lag that crops up in larger battles.
