“For a free game is really good quality game play. Only problem i find with this game is that the menu seems quite outdated but still simple enough to understand. Overall a great game.”

“Very basic menu and controls, but realism and physics of the game play are solid. The controls are a little weird at first, but you get used to it. Overall I enjoy it as a low stimulation game. Challenging and fun even…”

“I used to play back in the day, it's really fun but too expensive. Not only does it require a subscription, apparently there are different subscriptions for each mode. So if you want to play 3D Pool, 2D Pool AND 3D…”

— a player, Steam review · 15 hrs played“It was a beautiful game and very nicely made. Until it demanded subscription and it ruined everything. It markets itself as a free to play game only to ask for a subscription later and it doesn't even say it anywhere. You just open the game one day and it says your free trial…”
