  • Very realistic sailing simulation with real-time weather conditions that provide an engaging and strategic gameplay experience.
  • Allows players to race simultaneously with real sailors worldwide, offering a unique and immersive offshore sailing challenge.
  • The game has good graphics, including a 3D boat view, and a community aspect where players can join teams and challenge friends.
  • The game is heavily pay-to-win, with expensive microtransactions required to be competitive, including buying sails and equipment for every race.
  • Numerous bugs and glitches reported, including routing bugs causing boats to run aground incorrectly, game freezes, connection issues, and crashes especially on mobile devices.
  • Excessive, intrusive, and poorly implemented ads—including forced unskippable ads that often crash the app—greatly disrupt the gameplay experience, alongside poor customer support responsiveness.

  • monetization

    55 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    5% positive mentions, 13% neutral mentions, 82% negative mentions

    Users overwhelmingly criticize the game's aggressive and poorly implemented monetization, particularly incessant, unskippable, and crash-inducing ads that severely disrupt gameplay and frustrate players. While some accept ads as a trade-off for free content, the excessive frequency, intrusive pop-ups, and buggy behavior have driven many longtime players away. Additionally, expensive in-app purchases and unreliable premium transactions further diminish the user experience.

    • “No ads.”
    • “No ads and if you kind of know sailing it is easy to master.”
    • “Good game, very expensive in-game purchases, I'm on a learning curve, needs a lot of patience like actual sailing.”
    • “I just watched 6 ads in a row to set up my waypoints for the race tomorrow. On the 6th ad, the VR froze again because of those useless Tai Chi ads I have been complaining about daily. I had to reboot the game, and when I went back in to carry on, all the waypoints I had accumulated disappeared!”
    • “Was an avid supporter of the game but now I'm not playing anymore due to 30-second non-skippable video ads that are so poorly implemented it makes it impossible to not open the ad browser link when it finishes playing.”
    • “Ads everywhere, just by logging in. The problem is that if the ad crashes, you have to restart everything—super annoying when attempting to plan a route where you have to see seven 30-second ads, and if you get stuck on the 5th, bad luck, you have to watch them all again. Please add a one-time payment option to remove ads.”

  • graphics

    31 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    48% positive mentions, 42% neutral mentions, 10% negative mentions

    The graphics receive mixed feedback, with many praising the realistic 3D visuals and improvements that enhance immersion, but others note issues like loading glitches, outdated technology, poor optimization, and performance slowdowns. Some users find the interface and visual clarity challenging, especially on mobile devices, while others desire more detailed and refined graphical elements. Overall, the graphics are considered good but have room for further enhancement and stabilization.

    • “Cool 3D graphics allow for some quite realistic virtual sailing.”
    • “They improved a lot the graphic and now it's even a pleasure to watch in the boat on the ocean according to the weather conditions.”
    • “Good details to sailing, great graphics and sound.”
    • “Unfortunately, technology seems old: graphics are not precise, the game display does not refresh, and it uses so much CPU.”
    • “Also, graphics often fail to load properly, such as sails not appearing.”
    • “There are too many graphics which make the game very slow, even on relatively modern phones.”

  • stability

    25 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    4% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 96% negative mentions

    Stability is a mixed aspect for the game, with many users reporting frequent freezes, glitches, and bugs that disrupt gameplay, including issues with loading races and buggy ads. However, some players experience smooth, glitch-free performance and appreciate improvements addressing earlier problems. Overall, the game struggles with stability on certain devices, particularly Android, impacting user experience.

    • “It runs flawlessly for me and I have experienced no glitches or issues, which is quite remarkable as I've been playing it for months.”
    • “Game also freezes; sometimes no position updates for an hour or more.”
    • “Buggy mess: tapping a race often fails to load and dumps you back to the home screen.”
    • “Used to be fantastic but is now full of glitches to the extent it is unplayable.”

  • optimization

    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    50% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 50% negative mentions

    Users report that the game suffers from poor optimization, including inaccurate touchscreen controls on smartphones and high performance demands on computers. Additionally, intrusive ads and perceived pay-to-win mechanics negatively affect gameplay experience, while players desire more in-game options and strategic performance insights without relying on real money.

    • “Need to see performance at different angles to the wind in different strengths etc. Steering by the compass 1° at a time doesn't work.”
    • “Very nice game, especially the Vendée Globe where we are challenged by the real racers. Less good: performance requirements on the computer are huge and would appreciate more options to compute different strategies.”
    • “You should put the best performance day somewhere.”
    • “Not optimized for smartphone (screen touch is not accurate).”
    • “The game bugs more and more and the advertisements become very, very frequent, to the point of reducing the number of visits and therefore often resulting in poorer performance.”
    • “As I was not purchasing any in-game aids, I suspect Virtual Regatta turned off the race when all those who bought performance advantages had finished and ongoing revenue had evaporated.”

  • story

    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    60% positive mentions, -20% neutral mentions, 60% negative mentions

    The story concept is praised for its intriguing premise of plotting and scheming a course, but the gameplay limitations—such as only being able to set two waypoints and the inability to scroll ahead—hinder narrative progression and player immersion.

    • “Its a delayed gratification game: you plot and scheme, and then mother nature changes her mind and you start all over again.”
    • “The concept of the game is great, but without being able to plot the course correctly it makes no point.”
    • “Edit: dev responded so I'll update my response. You can play this game without paying, but since you cannot plot more than two waypoints, you'll need to login to check your route every few hours.”
    • “You can play this game without paying, but since you cannot plot more than two waypoints, you'll need to log in to check your route every few hours. Good luck with sleep.”
    • “It's a delayed gratification game; you plot and scheme, and then mother nature changes her mind and you start all over again.”
    • “Even worse, you cannot scroll ahead to plot your course.”

  • gameplay

    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    40% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 60% negative mentions

    The gameplay has received mixed feedback, with some users appreciating the balance between realism and accessibility, while others criticize recent updates for removing customization options and diminishing the experience. Additionally, technical issues such as gameplay failing to load have negatively impacted some players.

    • “Generally good gameplay with well-considered tradeoffs between realism and playability/mass appeal.”
    • “Good and nice for everything in this game and gameplay.”
    • “Terrible after the latest update, thanks for taking away the freedom of choosing my own sail setup and dumbing it down to the point of ruining the gameplay.”
    • “Though I have to say the gameplay and graphics were better 3 years ago.”
    • “Would not load gameplay after menus, uninstalled.”

  • humor

    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
