The multiplayer or single player game modes can be played, in an environment to close to a real pool pub in the city you live. With great interior designed, the details are greatly portrayed, you are left with countless of hours of VR pool every day.

Why is Pool Nation VR so special?

The game gives you quite a lot thing to choose from. Players are able to pick up things such as drinks, darts, chairs and almost all the thing in the surrounding. Also, you are given the chance to move freely or chose a destination to teleport to with ease. There are few tricks, if we can call them that, so you can go faster to the edges of the tables and have a better view of the whole you aim, the same way as you teleport. If you are already an pro pool player you might even be able to try some trick such as spinning the ball with a little bit of practice, of course.

Even if you are not that good of a played, you can always drink few virtual beers and have some fun of trying you best until you get better. Even if you end up spilling drinks and making a meson the table, the game is clever enough to give you the clear table options, so you can have a fresh go at another game.

Pool Nation VR is one of the best VR videogames

Overall the game fluidity is close to perfect. The movements are free and easy; you can almost feel like you are actually playing a real life game of pool. The detailed surrounding helps a lot and give much smoother feeling and though maybe few tweaks won’t hurt the game, the current state is more than good.
