(CriticalIndieGamer) Pool is a classic game, played in millions of basements and smokey (or formerly smokey) pool halls around the world. The game is simple to pick up and complicated to master.Tables and accessories can be prohibitively expensive to own in the real world, making the transition from real world “sport” to videogame quite natural. Games like Duke Nukem 3D and Grand Theft Auto have given people the option of playing pool within the game just to mess around, while other games such as Virtual Pool and now Pure Pool have attempted to allow the player to have a full virtual billiard experience.
"Pure Pool by devs VooFoo is probably the most realistic pool game I have ever played. Come and check out the review over on Thumb Culture!" Jas @ Thumb Culture
Greg @ FG: Pure Pool may not revolutionise the sport of hitting balls together, but it does make it enjoyable to play. The Finger Guns review.
Ripstone Games today announced that its acclaimed cue sports simulation Pure Pool is available to pre-order on the eShop for Nintendo Switch, ahead of its release on November 17th.
The game is better than that. Come on. 6.5 only because it doesn't properly display the lines and angles for distance shots and bank shots.
Yip, at least a 8/10 for sure , it is great. I mean come on , you don't get lines drawn of where the ball is going to go in real pool.
The more I play it the more I like it and I'm able to play pretty well. I'm a decent player in real life and have a good grasp of how shots should play. My only concern is that the cushions slide far too much as if the whole thing is polished. It means it's difficult to judge doubles and snooker escape. The angle of view also doesn't help there.
