Pure Pool Pro is a good pool game, and maybe one of the better releases in the genre for the past few years. It’s not trying to be the be-all, end-all of pool, and it does lack some pool types like one-pocket, bank pool, blackball, bumper pool and so on. However, it sticks with the most popular pool types, and it succeeds in offering a realistic, challenging, yet fun depiction of pool for those who want to play at home. It has great visuals, the gameplay is very engaging with a great dose of realism, and there are also plenty of people to play against in the online world. But even if you like to play on your own, there’s a hefty campaign mode where you can grind stars in each level and unlock cues or balls. The lack of key pool types forced open mic and AI that feels overwhelming at times will cause some issues. But once you get past that, you’ll have a wonderful pool game with plenty of content.

Pure Pool Pro is an ultra-realistic sports sim that is a joy to play. I love the varied game modes, the exceptional graphics, and the fun but easy to understand gameplay. One for lovers of pool who want a chilled experience.
