    The gameplay has received mixed reviews, with many players criticizing the surfing mechanics as poorly executed, lacking realism, and suffering from animation issues. While some appreciate the wave mechanics and overall design, others find the content sparse, with limited customization options and objectives. Overall, the game is seen as needing significant improvements to better replicate the surfing experience and enhance player engagement.

    • “Being a surfer myself, I'm loving the design, the mechanics, and the beauty.”
    • “Finally, a game that feels like surfing, has the basic mechanics of what surfing is about.”
    • “So far it's pretty enjoyable. I feel as a bodyboarder I can understand how board mechanics work in surfing. The very real feeling waves are great, and the scenery is fantastic. I think animations could get better, and I hope you guys polish out the kinks. I'm just learning, so I'm not quite there yet as far as feeling like I'm ripping, which is good. The learning curve coming from something like Transworld Surf or KS PS is a lot harder, which I'm stoked for. Please don't let this game sell and sell and never add anything to it; please update when you can. Love it so far, very fun and challenging!”
    • “In the matter of the surfing itself, it can be easily seen how poorly those mechanics are built just by watching the animations and movement of the player-controlled character.”
    • “Several game mechanics are also lacking; you have poor implementation of objectives, content is extremely scarce, with no different gear and satisfactory customization options, and wave selection is also extremely poor.”
    • “I do not recommend buying this, unless you don't care about money or glitches that interrupt gameplay.”
  • graphics
    12 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics in the game are generally praised for their quality and smoothness, showcasing advanced capabilities that elevate the virtual surfing experience. While some users note that optimal performance requires a good quality controller and higher frame rates, others with lower-end hardware still find the graphics acceptable. Overall, the visuals are considered impressive and a significant improvement over previous surfing games.

    • “Looking back to Kelly Slater Pro Surfer and its smooth graphics, to even a bit further back, Transworld Surf and its allowance of such deep tube riding, virtual surfing elevates and combines all those options into a new level of surfing at your desktop utilizing today's GPU and CPU capabilities. It looks to be taking the new trophy for quite some time to come... surf's up!”
    • “Graphics are pretty awesome already.”
    • “And it has good graphics.”
    • “I will not comment on the graphics, as my video card is on the lower end of the spectrum.”
    • “With the settings I have, the graphics are okay by me.”
    • “It takes a fair bit of time to learn all the subtleties, good quality controller required, and try and angle the graphics toward higher frame rate for the hair trigger controls.”
  • monetization
    10 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Many users criticize certain games on Steam as "cash grabs," highlighting a lack of updates and support, with some titles going over a year without any new content. This perception suggests that these games prioritize profit over player experience, leading to dissatisfaction among the community.

    • “Last update on this game was on April 6, 2019, which means we're going on one year without any updates. This feels like a cash grab.”
    • “We're talking about a cash grab here; it's been one year since the last update.”
    • “There are a few cash grab games out there on Steam.”
  • stability

    • “The actual 'surfing' is buggy and unfinished.”
    • “I do not recommend buying this, unless you don't care about money or glitches that interrupt gameplay.”
