The Ultimate Game

Best version of video game ultimate since Layout Ultimate 2005. Physics of the disc are fantastic, throwing and cutting controls are really well made, AI is really solid and competent. It feels really rewarding once you start getting used to the controls and start making good throws and getting better at the game. There's also a stat section for your player character, and the stats are done in a very balanced way where there's pros and cons to putting points in different attributes, seems like it's horizontally balanced very well. I'll continue updating this review as I play more of the game, super promising and the dev is really awesome and is constantly checking in with the community for improvements and ways to make the game better. This game is still constantly being improved upon and I'm excited to see where it goes from here.

Whether you play Ultimate or not this game is a must try. You get the same feeling in the game as you do watching a disc fly irl and the thrill from performing a good throw is nearly as good. The throwing mechanics are the best thing about this game for me as they are not impossible but have a large enough learning curve to be super rewarding when performed well. First day of early access and already the single player gameplay is very good and no doubt the dev is still making changes to the AI. Online for me is always the most enjoyable way to play games and this game is no exception but it is definitely not a requirement to enjoy TUG.

Definitely a work in progress but the developer is very active and the discord allows you to recommend features and report bugs easily. Certainly feels like a game of ultimate and whilst the visuals aren't super smooth yet, the physics and functionality of it are there. It helps if you know the game or have played it before, but you can certainly still enjoy it if you haven't.

Incredibly detailed throwing mechanics and allows you make more complex decisions while playing than other sports games. Great foundation on which hopefully a more flushed out Ultimate game could build upon!

Game has potential. Currently has a lot missing, but still fun. I'm looking forward to the developer adding more. Actually feels like a proper game of Ultimate, physics seem pretty reasonable.
