Silent Hunter 5 is a Strategy game available on the PC. It can be played in Thirdperson Singleplayer modes.

Silent Hunter 5 is a Strategy game. Strategy games provide experiences that require quick thinking, and forward planning from the gamer. They combine the unfolding tactics of classic games like chess, with more recent board games such as Risk. Usually focusing on a theatre of war context, players enjoy the tactical overview of the battle these games provide.

Silent Hunter 5 can be played in a Thirdperson mode. Third Person games view the world from over the right shoulder of the character being controlled. This enables you to see the character you are controlling as well as their surrounds. Although not as immersive as first person, third person games enable more complex moves and interactions with the environment.

Silent Hunter 5 can be played in a Singleplayer mode. Single Player Campaign games focus on one player's experience. Rather than collaborate with other players either locally or online, players progress alone. The campaign style of gameplay offers a connected series of challenges to play through. These chapters work together to tell a story through which players progress. Single player games are able to focus on one experience of a scenario, so that it is usually a richer, more visceral game.

Silent Hunter 5 upsets its steady claustrophobia with an array of shortcomings. What is usually intense and compelling as you work ever closer to your goal, here becomes by turns laughable and frustrating.

In this 5th instalment of the Silent Hunter series, Ubisoft has created a monster of a submarine simulator - but not in a good way. Instead of infusing this classic franchise with the kind of quality that would make it a memorable and terrifying experience, the game is riddled with bugs and technical problems that drag it down to breaking point.
