Cold Waters

Our analysis

A deep, strategic real-time submarine warfare game with rewarding stealth-based combat built around firing solutions, passive sonar, torpedoes, harpoons, and thermal-layer evasion against ships, subs, aircraft, and helicopters. It demands real study and patience with a steep learning curve, and is hampered by tedious micromanagement, an unpolished and clunky campaign map, and occasional glitches like vanishing ships. Not for casuals, but worth it for fans of submarine warfare.
