UPDATE: 5 stars now. While there are some options I’d like (namely an offline no opponent no time limit practice game), you listened to our requests and gave us what we asked for. Thank you. The controls are smooth and gameplay is fun. Exactly what I want in a pool game. ORIGINAL REVIEW: I was excited for this game. While the game looks really good, there is no option to just play a solo game - only some challenges. Any actual game has to be online multiplayer. Give us the option for offline solo games and you’ll have 5 stars.

On the Season Pass, don’t hit the Collect All button. If you do, it may look like you aren’t getting all of your rewards.I thought it wasn’t giving me all of my gold, so I tested it by collecting rewards slowly, adding up what I should receive, and comparing it to what actually showed up. Sure enough, the gold I calculated from the individual rewards plus the gold from the loot boxes didn’t seem to match. It looked like I was missing about half of it.However, I think what’s really happening is that the gold and other rewards you collect are being rolled into the loot box you open afterward. In other words, everything, including unopened loot boxes, gets consolidated together.Other than that, Ultimate 8 Ball is really fun and addicting. The different cue balls and cue sticks provide a neat sense of progression. I also enjoy being able to customize the pool table and am looking forward to seeing what other customization options they may have planned.The system of waiting for boxes to unlock before you can open them is pretty annoying. You also can’t realistically keep collecting the head-to-head rewards after four wins because it doesn’t make much sense to spend money just to open loot boxes a few hours early.One feature I’d love to see is the ability to buy or unlock specific ball sets. Imagine being able to use a set themed around your favorite sports team or a particular style. For example, I have a pirate-themed table and room, so it would be awesome to have a matching pirate-themed ball set to complete the look.The different play styles and tournaments also help keep the game fresh and replayable every day. Overall, I recommend it, especially since it is free to play for Arcade members.

WE NEED A DISCORD SERVER! It would be genuinely awesome if we had a Discord server to chat about pool, socialize, and talk strategy!!!As for gameplay, I notice that aiming is hard to be precise due to sudden angle changes. What I mean is that sometimes, when aiming, there are gaps in the adjustment angle when lining up shots, and the minimum aim speed is too high. I know this game is still kind of in its infancy compared to 8-ball pool, I can't wait to see more from y'all!!!

I’ve played many different pool games, mind you they were kinda fun, buuuuttt they got boring after a while. Anyhow, this game right here doesn’t even compare. It’s so aesthetically pleasing plus it has so many different types of games, challenges, tournaments, pool tables, cue balls and sticks. And gameplay is buttery smooth which helps make it rewarding and satisfying.
