Overall, Pure Pool is a fun and accurate representation of the fine game of billiards and there will be little that fans will find that is overlooked here.

The creators of Hustle Kings take it to the next level, by creating a very beautiful, realistic and hyper-addictive pool game.

The best representation of pool on console and scratches that itch for casual gaming fun. Very smooth controls and it looks great too. Plays really well on the PS5!

This is without doubt the best representation of pool I've ever seen in a video game. Everything about the control and feedback is spot on. People are complaining about the lack of a top down view. Do you guys hang from the ceiling to aim your shot in real pool? The graphics and presentation are breathtaking. For the price, this game is the biggest steal of the year..

Pure Pool’s greatest trick is its immediacy. Once the table is in front of you, you can just play over and over and over with no wait.

Pure Pool offers a beautiful and accurate game of pool, featuring a large amount of various games types and difficulties to accommodate all players. The network works enough to get the job done, but there are a great deal of flaws that keep the servers from being a constant stomping ground. Regardless of the online issues, Pure Pool has a great sense of progression that embodies a stellar pool mechanic only beaten by actually playing pool.

A proper pool simulator that allows you to play several modes of this sport without going out home. Pretty all-round, eye-pleasing and a wide range of possibilities both online and offline that will keep you playing for quite some hours.

VooFoo can chalk this down as another successful adaptation, as Pure Pool proves to be an enjoyable and astoundingly well presented interpretation of arguably the greatest pub pastime.

It manages to entertain for short periods but if you want more than the occasional 8- or 9-ball the potential here remains mainly untapped.

Pure Pool is a fantastically addicting and fun pool sim that feels as good as it **** boy does it look good in 1080/60. As a league competitor who owns a pool table i can honestly say that P.P. is the best feeling pool game with the best physics i have ever encountered in console gaming. The people who feel P.P. is a glorified demo are quite foolish in their arguments considering the fact that P.P. is $9.09 and gives you 3 career modes, online/local mp, free play, DNA play, 8ball, 9ball, killer, accumulator and numerous other mini games along with a Platinum trophy. I spent $32.10 on MGS V Ground Zeroes and i'm okay with that, but to be honest MGS V GZ was a glorified demo with 14 trophies . If i had paid 60 bucks for P.P. then maybe i could sit back and knit pick like an elitist snob, but i would still be pleased with my purchase. The music is great and the pool hall/bar environment with people moving about in the background is great, but i would love it if they added more locations and more songs. I also have yet to play The Last of Us Remastered because every time i turn on my PS4 i'm playing Pure Pool. If you have a PS4 and 9 bucks then you owe it to yourself to get this game, at the very least it's a wonderful reprieve from the jarring cacophony of fps's and the hair pulling frustration of puzzle platformers - it's nice to just sit back, relax, and play some pool. I would give Pure Pool an 8.75/10 normally, but considering some of the egregiously asinine scores coming from the "pc elitists" i feel as though a 10/10 is necessary. We get it, pc is the greatest and virtual pool 4 is game of the **** that why virtual pool 4's online community is " virtually" non-existent? J^¥ P.

Love most of the game. Only a couple things that bother me. In master mode I wish at least we have a dot or something to gain perspective because it's really hard sometimes, especially when the cue is raised to tell where you are aiming.
Also, the cpu opponents consistently make shots no human could make, defy physics...pisses me off, and on at least one occasion actually cheated, and said I hit the wrong ball when I most definitely did not.

Does exactly what it says on the tin with a no thrills, but fairly realistic, pool experience with plenty of varieties to choose from.

So I recently bought this game on ps4 and as i like how realistic it is there have been major flaws with multiplayer game mode. You can start a match fine but then it will stop working or glitch on one players side and will say its your opponents shot but you cant continue the game. You will have to restart or have to shutdown completely. Its 2020, but hoping they can do a update and fix this soon otherwise my friends and I will probably delete it all together which we dont want to do cause its actually a really fun game
