60 of 68 · most liked firstPros: - Looks nice - Plays nice Cons: - Unfair matchmaking! I'm always being matched with players level 40+ with the most powerful cues when I'm only level 5 with basic cue. - If you play online with someone and he starts first, every next game - the same player will always go first. - No in-game chat Overall Rating: 3/10
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I was a very keen user of the original version of premium pool and rewared by a free release of this paid version but find it very disappointing! The original Premium pool was a level playing field but this release is very distorted. I assume that this distortion becomes apparent to newcomers and they loose interest because there are generally very few online players to play against. The game is easier for those who have aquired the better cues that can be purchased for real cash or slowly…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →this should be f2p and even then its over priced cause no one is playing. could be do to the bad Physics. i would say this game is nothing but card fodder.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Nice simple game play which can be played with game pad or mouse and keyboard. I prefered using keyboad and mouse (arrow keys to fine tune aim). Changing tables, crate drops, game stats (win rate/accuracry etc), daily/weekly challenges for rewards, tournaments, player leveling. Online or offline game play, online game was smooth with no lag even while playing Cpt Froggy on the other side of the world (UK/Australia). Only downside with online play is there doesn't seem to be many players about…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →So nun nach mehr als 30 Stunden INGAME Zeit, überarbeite ich mal meine Review und spreche offen alle Vor- und Nachteile an. Beginnen wir erstmal mit meinem persönlichen Gesamteindruck. Ich habe lange Zeit auf ein einfaches und schlichtes Billard Spiel gehofft, auf STEAM natürlich. Hier geht es wirklich nur darum drauf los zu spielen, Sachen freizuschalten und Ende. Um Mal einen Vergleich zu nennen wäre dort Poolnation welches versucht mit Grafik zu Punkten, was in meinen Augen einfach nicht…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Positives: If you're looking for a fun arcade style pool game that doesn't care too much about proper physics then this game is for you. The different cues remind me of RPG elements which is pretty interesting in a pool game. It revolves around leveling up, getting coins and tokens and just having a good time. It runs really well on pretty much any modern system. Even old potatos can probably run this game flawlessly. I didn't experience any bugs or glitches so far either. You can change the…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →DO NOT BUY THIS GAME. This game is designed as an online game, but there is nobody else matchmaking, making most game progress stuck dead. It offers 3D-like-balls, 2D physics, 2D Camera. Basically an 2D game like the FREE mobile game "8-ball-pool". Steam or mobile, there are many games can do better than that. It's current experience is simply outmatched and outdated. This game has many poles that require coins to unlock, where you need to get coins from online matchmaking. You can do…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great pool game! top down pool games are great, i used to have a NES console with a top down pool game you can play this game online to and it have a ranking system https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GCbuYVvaTpo
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →badly designed! no point buying! free version is alot better!!!
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is super cool, fun and amuse. The only problems are: - Less players due to the price; - If you find an opponent, he is higer ranked than you, with special cues that gives advantages; - When you're out of money to search for a match that needs 100$, says to go to play some casual to get free crates to try the possibility to get coins from it; This game is basicly PAY TO WIN, that is for noobs, that is so unfair that you're playing against a player with a fu***** legendary cue that…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is poor compared to the old version. The physics have been re-done by a non-pool player. The old game felt like the balls were rolling on felt. This new version is not worth the money, and is being played by virtually no-one.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Can't believe i paid 39p for this pay 2 win disaster of a game. These games should be left for mobile phones not for gaminf pc's.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I might as well say this after 3 years since the game's release. The game is dead in terms of matchmaking, but this doesn't take away from the fact it's still a good game when you want to kill time and practice shots. The developers clearly put a lot of time into designing everything so I give them that. Once again, the game is d e a d and there's no active players for online matches. I suggest staying away if you're looking for competitive gameplay.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Pool simulator, 2D. Place ball (if allowed), select direction, select force, watch outcome. EXCEPT for someone who actually plays billiard quite well... Then you can see a lot of flaws in the physics. I actually played better free browser pool games. Those mostly don't have human opponents, but this game doesn't either. Online community is dead, thus matchmaking is bad. Concerning the game changing unlocks if you play an insane amount of the game, it means that you are matched against a player…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Avoid at any price. "I'll grind for achievements having some casual fun", I thought. Well, good luck having fun with this load of crap. Not only it's often too primitive, not only it will occasionally screw you because of the lag (and extremely short time for your turn with a default cue). It's just a totally pay-2-win, microtransactions and loot boxes infested bantha рiss. If you'll buy it on sale and play shortly after, you'll probably meet some new players online, having somewhat fair game…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game should be free. I bought it and refunded it after 30 mins of game time played, althought I said I spent a total of 80 mins playing, the other 50 are searching for opponents.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Lacks stuff that even games from the early 2000s had; can't even stroke the cue all the way back when breaking and english doesn't seem to work. In short, this isn't even a basic pool game.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's a very good pool game, played a single match against an AI. However the player base is none existing at the moment. So please buy it, so I can kick some ass! I will not be refunding this one, because I know the player base will grow.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →terrible game, couldn't work out how to even use what few controls are documented in game. Edit: Still can't get the game working with a controller, keyboard controls are bad but you can manage with them Buy to play game with microtransactions/lootcrates ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, actual gameplay and modes are far worse than pool fx
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Premium Pool Arena Is a good pool game but it has somethings i do not like on it. Lets began with the what i like about it. it has nice colorful tables and when you begin the game it has nice calm music vibe to it. and when you play Offline the AI is so smart like my goodness. The dislikes are if you want some new pool sticks you have to spend you're coins and you can get only coins online which is dead i haven't seen anyone maybe one or two but yeah. and i really don't like online games.…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Attention: - This should be Free2Play; - Multiplayer NOT free;
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's kinda hard to find a match there is no players playing this game at all. Even if I am 3 levels the game matches me up against 50 levels etc. Their cues are like aimbots and there is no chance to win for me obviously. It's pay to win af.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is a good little 8-ball pool game, especially considering the low price & frequent sales. The UI, top-down view, and the simple mouse control scheme make this game easy for anybody to pick-up and play, especially those who are accustomed to playing similar style pool games. The game focuses on online multiplayer matches, but the community is relatively small and you may have trouble finding opponents during certain times of day. Fortunately, the game also features a single-player game…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Not good. Nobody to play against most of the time and when there is if they're better than you they've also got lots of advantages such as an arrow pointing from the ball they're aiming all the way to the pocket. Hardly a fair fight!
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →- I cannot invite my friend to play with him - Physics are wonky Plz fix or I refund
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Bad controls (mouse acceptable, keyboard abyssmal, gamepad is worse), low stats on starting cue, only way to grind in-game points to improve is through the dead multiplayer, so it's a essentially a glorified steam card collector at this point, just letting it run to collect cards then uninstalling forever.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Is this actually a mobile port? Because the overly huge table holes and the shooting controls suppose so ... Anyway, sometimes I regret being a gamer for as long as I am, because I still think Team 17's "Arcade Pool" for Amiga CD32 is by far the better game. That doesn't make this one here bad by default as it sure has the far better resolution for eg. The problem though is that sizes between game components seem to be somewhat off in a strange way. Also the balls rolling animation is…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ YOU! Are you kidding me？ Why cant i play with keyboard？ So stupid！！！！！！！ 同志们，还是乖乖Tencent爸爸的游戏大厅吧，垃圾游戏，为了评论我就跟你怼上了，不就5分钟吗？♥♥♥♥!!!!!!!!!
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Good aiming was added, so ignore my old words down below about this great title. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Aiming properly is almost impossible without a feeling of being stressed or annoyed. Not enjoyable.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Well worth the money. Simple and easy to get into.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Awful mobile game where you can't win (Money wise). A lot of game modes requires credits. Tournament entry fee: 750 Tournament win: 400 so even if you win a tournament (10 wins) you will be out of pocket by 350 credits. Oh right, there are 2 challenges that can only be completed in tournaments (which are online only) that will give you couple of hundreds credits. But, are we playing to win or playing to do challenges in order to actually leave with a +/- of credits? The only way to get…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Easy to play, great graphics, intuitive interface. Love It
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →great game, would recommend to anyone who likes to play pool it's very realistic
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Pros: - Looks nice - Plays nice Cons: - No ability to customize in friend games - Unfair matchmaking! - Tried to play a LVL 1 player multiple times ONLY to get LVL 50 player(same one no matter the room) - Seems like nothing but developer owned bots playing online games pushing actual players to PAY for their coins. - No in-game chat - Game minimizes anytime you leave the window(pet peeve but still dumb 'feature') Overall Rating: 3/10
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Quick review: 2 ### Metric ### 1- Garbage. :( 2- Did not fulfill the purpose. 3 - Ok, fulfilled the purpose. 4 - A good game! 5 - Just play and be happy. :)
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is an ok Pool simulation but... The oppnent system completly sucks. The only way to better equipment is to spend real money or play against real people. There are so few people playing this game making it nearly imposible to advance. You can play against a computer opponent but those matches do not count towards advancements. If you and a few of your friend all get this you could play agains each other but by yourself don't expect much.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Beyond poor! Poor physics, pathetic AI that tries to take shots THROUGH other balls, tables are too fast, except on the break which can't even be called a break cause the balls go nowhere. Thoroughly disappointed .. I would give this 0 stars.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →for a casual pool game gotten on sale, it's not bad... that being said level of cues and pay 2 win are issues in the game, but the number one issue... wait times, and I mean just to get a match at all, and the system won't just 'give up' and give you an AI opponent after even 5 minutes.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I love it, is nice, easy and cute. Works great, the graphics are ok.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →a very basic and entertaining game to play with friends, the only problem is that not many play online but if a friend has it becomes very entertaining.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A great basic pool game for all ages. Very relaxing and challanging but not too hard. I recommend it for casual gaming.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Premium Pool Arena is a vevry good game i recommend to anyone like playing pool and it got load more changing tables and more cues to pick from one small thing they is no chat box in the game when you want to chat to players online in the game or any other games part from the this is the best game l play l recommend to my friends
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The amazing game with terrible physics. But is so well made why you didn't extend the game physics. I'm playing 8ball from Miniclicp from more that 7 years W.T>F , dude 8ball is a dinamic game, fast , unpredictable and real, your game 3/10 IGN. Is not late to tune up some stuff like: Faster time of shoting, I hate that slow animation I like is how is lock itself when right click isn't applied, but when I try to aim is terrible slow and Inaccurate Volvo Please fix! Is dead game ,isn't good thing…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Have to change my review again (2nd time) Because now there is this bugg where; When the ball you want to hit first lies close to " a nondesired ball" the nondesired ball is ALWAYS counted first as a hit even thou one know for a fact one hit the desired ball first. Extreamly annoying and has to be fixed. As the games are so close this bugg ruins both games for me and as well as opponents --------------- Old new review This game fully worth 2 Euros, just get it if you are into arcady 2D pool…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →No "Carom 3D" ='(
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Cues strike through silence Every shot demands precision Victory rests on angles
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I do like the game
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →the computer player is very accurate but is also makes mistakes
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →What a piece of crap. Supposedly it's verified for the Steam Deck, but there is no information on how to use it with the Steam Deck controller or how to set up the controller. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS PIECE OF GARBAGE. (In case you are wondering, it's a bit more controllable on the PC, but the controls are still very touchy and there is no control over the level of difficulty of the computer player.)
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Bought this game to play with people online. But it was a mistake can't play with anyone. No one is online. So sad.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I don't recommend this game. And, you had better to find another game.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Don't purchase this game. No players, the physics are all screwed up and you can only play the computer and it plays by different rules.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Muito bom jogo, porém não tem como jogar se não estiver conectado à internet!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Its just the most fun Pool game for a computer.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →DEAD GAME. no ONLINE. waste of money
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Definitely recommend. ***** Easy to play, entertaining, it will definitely keep you coming back and back and back for more. What more do you want!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →i gut for free me loike.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Just got the game. So this review isn't a in depth review. Right now my impression of the game, is that it's much better than the older Premium Pool game that arent supported anymore. Better graphic, and some more game-modes to choose from. It still needs some (mostly) minor thing fixed. And other things kind of major fix they need to do. I paid 750 coins (virtual money) in order to play in a tournament, but there was no players to challenge or play with. And the game could not make any…
