The huge, deal breaker, issue with Rouvy is (or was) the fact that the video was taken at normal frame rates on a fast moving vehicle.
Without any sort of proof or detail, I think they've done something about this. I tried Rouvy about a year ago, and that was one of the things I didn't like.
But I tried it again over the past few weeks, and it's pretty darn good, even at low speed. I don't know if I was using routes captured at higher framerates, or something else. But I was doing like 15% ramps up like the Paterberg, and it wasn't visually annoying.
I use both Zwift and Rouvy now. Zwift when I have to, because that's what all my buddies require me to do when they want me to join them in a race, etc. Rouvy for group rides and solo training. Occasional racing. The big advantage of Zwift used to be rider density. But that's become problematic for me recently. Doing 700+ rider group rides and races is kind of shitshow-ish.
Rouvy is more of a classy joint, like a good Italian restaurant to Zwift's Olive Garden. Cleaner UI, no porn soundtrack, no fantasy bikes or power-ups. Good scenery.
