- “Right from the very first, I was impressed with the graphics employed, very realistic and with accurate reactions between the cue and the balls.”

The music in the game is generally praised for its relaxing and immersive qualities, with many players enjoying the customizable options and ambient lounge or jazz tracks that enhance the gameplay experience.

Overall, while the music contributes positively to the atmosphere, there are calls for greater variety to cater to different preferences.
- “Just enjoy and relax with the meditative music.”
- “But in all honesty, one of the best pool games ever released with so many options for customization, a bunch of different game modes to play, and the background music is also a real banger.”
- “The music makes you feel like you're in a club, which is awesome.”
- “The one thing I have to say against it is the music, which just never clicked for me and I had to mute it.”
- “Suggestions for improvement: have some additional in-game music.”
- “Edit 2: it crashed when I enabled the music; the game had started on mute.”

The gameplay in this pool and snooker game is praised for its simplicity, smooth mechanics, and ultra-realistic physics, making it accessible and enjoyable for players of all ages. While the AI opponents provide a strategic challenge, the lack of online multiplayer options limits the experience to mostly single-player. Customization options are extensive, enhancing immersion, and recent updates have added even more gameplay features, contributing to its status as one of the best games in the genre.
- “The AI opponents are challenging and quite strategically competitive in their gameplay against you.”
- “Gameplay-wise, it's very good if not quite perfect (yet), with lots of options, different table sizes, different cloths, different balls, and various games to play from snooker and pool to variations like 9-ball, 8-ball, and killer. It's missing a career mode, which would be the icing on the cake.”
- “The physics are ultra-realistic, the controls are tight, and the gameplay is super smooth.”
- “It still gets the job done but it slows down gameplay a little.”
- “Gameplay is simple, but graphics are definitely not.”
- “Cue Club 2 is a sim game; this is the best pool game I have played so far. Most pool simulator games only offer a classic 3D view, which makes me very sad. However, this one not only has a top-down view and 3D view, but also an epic crosshair that makes aiming the balls much better. Simulators should learn that gameplay is always above realism; in the end, sim games are also games, and they are supposed to be fun even while being realistic.”

The game features a short story mode with interesting characters, adding a fun element to the overall experience. However, some players feel that the online interactions lack depth, resembling the simplistic comments made by bots in the story mode, leading to a perception of minimal narrative engagement. Overall, while the story mode is enjoyable, it may not satisfy those seeking a more substantial narrative.
- “It's a really fun game with tons of game modes, including a short story mode featuring interesting characters to face off against.”
- “No one aims their shot online. No problem to me because then it comes down to 'okay, low rating, most likely lower difficulty.' I even tried to use chat to get them to talk like regular people, but they only make comments like the bots do in story mode on bad shots you make or tricky shots they're in.”
