Not a "Simulator" just one map and a ship you can run around in nothing else
literally nothing else...

I found this a really great experience in VR. The ship is beautifully modelled
and the overall level of graphics impressive, but above all the sense of scale
is amazing. Climbing the rigging to reach the top of the masts as the ship
glides through the ocean waves is an awesome experience, with the sound of the
sails flapping in the wind and the dizzying views down to the wooden decks
below. That alone was worth the purchase price!
Add to this plenty of interaction and fun elements to experience on the ship, a
tropical island to find and explore and the opportunity to view this all from a
bird's eye point of view as you become a seagull with free flight. What's not to
like, thoroughly recommended!

This VR experience looks very pretty. However, it suffers from poor optimization
and polish. With an RTX 2080 and an i9 processor, I was getting terrible frame
rate issues into the 40s. And there are no graphical settings at all that I
could find with the Valve Index or the HTC Vive. You also have no hands, it just
shows the controllers. And perhaps due to the frame rate or the rocking of the
water, I experienced a great deal of nausea to the point where I had to stop.
Overall, there is simply no reason at all to own this software. I would not
recommend it.

First let’s get past the main issue some people have with VROOM: Galleon, it’s
not a game it’s a VR experience instead, and in my option a rather good one at
that.
It has plenty to explore and interact with and the touch controls work well with
this experience and I like the fact that you get both a ship with items to
examine and an Island to explore.
On the ship you need to explore and interact with everything to get to the
island, and climbing the rigging gives a very real feeling of height, just don’t
try and grab on to the mast to support yourself like I did as it’s not really
there.
Then you need to get the ship to move you to the island so you can explorer it
as well.
Hint if you are having trouble getting to the island think about how you would
control a real ship of this size and type.
So in summary, if like me, you like exploring new thinks in VR that are hard to
do in real life, then you will probably enjoy this VR experience. On the other
hand if you are looking for yet another fast action wave shooting, go play
something else this is probably not for you :-)

Great VR experience. I love all the details and surprises. I had to buy the
bundle.

Amazing graphics for current VR hardware. Enjoyed the slow pace; just watching
the ship rock and waves roll by. Can't wait for Vive support!

Be careful with this game, when I was trying it out, sinking the boat froze the
engine, I liked the Idea for a while but the slow coding made a ton of issues on
character death, i.e. If you play with the Mermaid and the Shark Eats you the
game freezes.

While I would recommend this VR environmental experience, I have to say that the
total lack of a tutorial is bothersome. It is not clear how to interact with the
environment and therefore it can become boring quickly. As a little pirate cove,
some characters to interact with would also be nice.

I love pirates! This is the best looking ship I've seen yet, and it's in VR.
Very fun experience. Lots of good humor and happiness. It took me a while to
find the island. (You use the pole thingy.) I hate those damn monkeys!

What a waste of money. It's not a game. Developer is talking about it being a VR
game. Why they display it in simulator, I don't know. It's not doing anything
and the ship doesn't even sail.

Yarr! Here be a nicely recreated pirate ship, ripe for exploring in VR. As other
reviewers have mentioned, it’s not really a game, but rather an environment that
you walk around, and various items to interact with. It has all the pirate
things you would expect: Treasure, cannons, rum, mermaids, sharks, even a
shooting gallery with some monkeys. Be sure to search all around – I played for
half an hour and can tell by watching the trailer video that I missed some
stuff! The ship itself is very cool, the island is bright and rich, and some of
the objects are fun to mess with. Not tons of content here, but at its price, I
say it’s a good title for any pirate fans out there. Thumbs: Up!

Just tried this on CV1. It's not a game as such, but as an exploration/sitting
around admiring the view experience, it's fantastic. The visuals look great and
the minigames are entertaining (particularly flying as the bird). If you're
looking for somewhere to just hang out in VR, this is perfect.

I like the experiences created in the early days of VR. I love that when they
still look good and are perfectly playable.

Excellent graphics and ship movement. Need to be able so set the sails and
simulate going somewhere.

Controls are fiddly, using sort-of Tank controls that don't really make sense in
VR. I only played very briefly and felt motion-sick (I work with VR headsets
every day, it takes a lot to make me feel queezy in VR). Some interactive
objects also unexpectedly moved the camera, causing sudden disconnect that added
to my nausea.
Collision is a little all over the place, can often just walk through stuff.
General framework/layout and experience is missing, no menus or any sort of
introduction into what's going on.
Graphics are lovely however, but they don't make up for the lack of content.
With the above fixed, I still can't see this for more than £1.99 on Steam.

this game is the best vr experience of Pirate we could hope the boat is
incredible the interaction are great great graphism , great vr , great
animations , i love the differents events and possibilities
the only thing a little disapointed is the sword can cut only one time one item
of the monkey mini game it would be fun to can choose between the guns and the
sword
and the second thing is the bird fly is great but to see the bird under us with
few pixels is a little more difficult and give more the motion sickness , maybe
if we could have the choice to be on the bird or to be in the first person too
pushing on a button to change a second time of view would help
but if not this game is a wonder on the pirate universe
the only thing i could dream to see would an event where womans pirates and men
pirate could be in the sleep cabin and sing yoho yoho the pirate song from
disney , even if it should stay surely a dream since the rights on the song are
maybe hard to have
but anyway i can only recommend this incredible and wonderfull experience on the
theme of pirate it is the best and a real wonder
