Summary

8 Ball Clash is a fantastic arcade experience with solid controls both physically and with the rather nifty touch controls. 8 Ball Clash is not high on various game types and deep rewarding mechanics and instead swaps that for approachable and accessible fun. I love booting the game up and having a few games, sure I wish it had just straight-up custom or arcade game mode S but you can replay levels and just have a blast, the physics of the balls may not be at a Crucible level but they are good for both you and your opponent. As pool games go this is my go-to on the Nintendo Switch.

Gaming since the Atari 2600, I enjoy the weirdness in games counting Densha De Go and RC De Go as my favourite titles of all time. I prefer gaming of old where buying games from a shop was a thing, Being social in person was a thing. Join me as I attempt to adapt to this new digital age!
