Description: How about a relaxing game of pool? 9 Ball, 8 Ball, UK 8 Ball and even Snooker are ready to go in this hyper-realistic billiard simulator. Practice alone or pit yourself against AI players of varied abilities.

Review: If you’re looking for the best pool game in VR Cueist is it. With some stunning graphics, amazing amount of customisation and realistic pool and snooker gameplay, this game has a lot going for it. Sadly it shots itself in the foot with what I can only describe as the WORSE camera motion of any game I have played so far! (and to be fair to me I have played some real duffers). It spins around and constantly moves around all over the shot and for seemingly no reason. Any more than a few moments in this game will have anyone reaching for the sick-bags.

The good news is the camera/spinning is just about the only thing wrong with this game (maybe the lack of multiplayer as well) and it could easily get awarded a gold if it was sorted out. But for now, I can’t suggest anyone plays this game unless they have a cast-iron stomach.
