Puck

About

Puck is a fast-paced hockey simulator that strips away the playbook and focuses on raw skill. You control a player on a team, using physics driven movements to chase, pass, and shoot the puck toward the opponent's goal. The game emphasizes quick reflexes and strategic positioning over complex rulesets. Matches are played in single player against AI or in local multiplayer with friends. Scoring hinges on timing and spatial awareness, with collisions and momentum adding chaotic flair to each play. The standout element is how the physics engine turns every match into a unpredictable back and forth. There's no pause button or reset options, forcing players to adapt on the fly. Developer Nils Asejevs has a history of minimalist sports games with strong community followings. With release set for January 2025, early access builds show smooth controls and growing mod support. PC only.
