  The music is a mix of jazzy tunes that blend nicely into the background, and the crack of the cue onto the ball can sound satisfying at times. Occasionally the mix of sound effects was too low and it felt like I was hitting a pillow with a feather.

  The targeting focuses on the next number, rather than anything like a sensible next shot. This means that we were back to wrestling the awful guidance controls. And there’s no ability to lock to the middle of the ball you’re aiming at. The guideline is so thick, the balls so small, and the aiming increments large enough to create situations where you simply can’t line up a shot that is just right.

  A dire lack of features, peculiar physics, grating music and camera angles which make accurate play feel impossible, 8-Ball Pocket is amongst the worst pool games on PlayStation consoles. This might be the only native billiards game on PS5 right now but you would do well to swerve this for older, better games.
