Is Lusitania: The Experience worth it for you?
We tell you who should skip it, too.
Play it if you…
Good fit- Players interested in World War I maritime history who want a focused historical scenario.
- Fans of first-person simulations who want to experience a ship’s final moments.
- Players who prefer a short, time-bound scenario with a choice between remaining aboard and taking a lifeboat.
Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players seeking a long campaign may reach the end of the experience when the 18-minute sinking concludes.
- Players looking for varied missions or extended progression may find the focus on one historical event too narrow.
- Players seeking a broader survival-crafting or team-based experience will find neither described here.
Our take on Lusitania: The Experience
The likely bounce point is the fixed 18-minute sinking: players looking for extended progression or multiple scenarios may run out of experience once the Lusitania’s final moments end. The central decision is limited to staying aboard or taking a lifeboat.
What is Lusitania: The Experience?
Take the role of RMS Lusitania captain William Thomas Turner during the ocean liner’s final moments on 7 May 1915.
This first-person simulation follows the ship after a torpedo strike causes it to take on water. Its sinking unfolds in real time over 18 minutes. Players can remain aboard as the ship goes down or board a lifeboat before it is too late. The experience centers on the Lusitania’s sinking during World War I, with scenery and events based on representations of what occurred.
