Pure Pool

About

You run a pool hall and a player base. Manage tables, host matches, and climb leaderboards in this arcade-style cue sport game. The controls feel responsive and the physics keep things realistic enough without slowing down the action. Single player modes let you work through challenges while online play connects you with others for quick matches or longer tournaments. The smooth pace and social features like live spectating set it apart from other pool games. It sits on 7.5/10 at MetaCritic but has a dedicated following on PC and consoles. The 2014 release date means it’s been polished through several platform jumps. Simple setup makes it easy to pick up but the competitive modes hold up for those who want to stick around.
