I like UBOAT I wish we can have multiplayer though that would be really cool kinda similar to Sea of Thieves
Sadly it seems to be abandoned, so dont buy the game. The DLC introduced many gamebreaking bugs, and after some more or less regular Hotfixes there hasn't been a single word from the devs in months. Game has great potential and can still be fun, but I wouldn't recommend giving money to the Devs at the current state of the game :( EDIT: 2 weeks later there is an small update now. Review will stay negative until most...
