a game of follow the cheat monkey and pay pay pay $ – Virtual Regatta Offshore Review

1st, it’s a greedy company. 2nd, path finder doesnt actually correlate to real time ocean currents. dont be fooled into paying for a monthly subscription for it. 3rd, company makes changes without advance notice and will not refund your money if they take something away from the UI that was significant, that you enjoyed and PAID for. For example, “stealth mode” which prevented follow the monkey. 4th, a current race for example cost $23 to have a boat with full features. 5th, customer service is horrible. and wont provide any refunds for their mishaps, or for example #3 from above. this should be an issue that is legally addressed to protect customers from avarice tech marketers. 6th, I highly suggest not supporting this company. It’s a pathetic game of follow the monkey where there is always the same key skippers who are using “outside of game” route planners to pre-route your strategy in advance, (aka cheating). Such a cheat planner can even be found online and it will draw out the best route coordinates in advance. 7th, the UI changes are a novice design. it takes more finger maneuvers to do what could be done prior, quicker and more efficient. The boat graphic looks worse than ever, the new sail addition looks like a pathetic large banana hanging on it. Finally, the 3D feature have become worse. terrible graphic stability. earlier version was better and simpler. it now looks like a cardboard cut out boat pasted on something like moving water. you also never see land, and fake stars in the sky are always the same without relation to constellations. novice. thus, it has no relationship to real landscapes. ps. Developer is trying hard to cash in and acquire advertising. Adverts occasionally pop up in the game. Yes, the game had potential. Obviously I don’t like its design, ethics and well... chasing along a novice graphic, with follow the monkey players, chasing the same skippers who use a pre-charting coordinate cheat tool - is boring.
