March 2025
update: I've played around 10+ hours of this game. While I still enjoy it, I have one minor issue, specifically with Career Mode. I'm currently around 25k, but I often get paired with opponents who are much stronger, around 11k. This makes it extremely difficult to play and win, which can be demotivating. It would be nice if, as you progress in your career, you competed against opponents who are realistically closer to your skill level. For example, an advanced intermediate player wouldn't typically compete in a beginner match. Unfortunately, I'm not sure if this tweak will ever be made, as the developer seems to have abandoned the game. _____ This game is great! I'm fairly new to Go, but this game is fantastic! The career mode alone makes it worth buying. Someone in the comments compared it to Madden’s career mode, and that’s spot on! I’m currently playing with the game set to only 9x9 boards, but there are options to use other board sizes or have the game naturally scale up as you progress. The Go analyzer is an awesome tool, I’ve been using it to review past games and see exactly where I played well and where I messed up. I really hope the dev keeps working on this game and maybe even gives us some DLC, like new environments or other cool additions. (For context, I’ve only been playing for about a week and come from a chess background. But playing Just Go has already made tons of Go concepts click.) 10/10 must buy

I am a complete novice at Go. This game has a feature to freely setup the board, then allow you to go against the AI on the pre-arranged set up. That is pretty nice and allows me to practice those go chess problems.

Flawed, but still very good. + Has KataGo for a smart AI and nice analysis tools. Probably the most accessible KataGo GUI I've tried. + Runs perfectly on Linux via Proton. + The evolving elo / rank gives you a good measure of your progress. + Graphics are quite good compared to other Go games. The important thing here is pleasing colors and a sleek interface really. You really don't see much of these environments they showcase; your view is locked on the board and can't move, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. - At the end of the game, the board is blurred and it won't show you how territory is counted. You have to go into analysis and move to the final board state to see how the score actually worked in the end. - The analysis is decent, but I much prefer lichess's use of AI to fill a table and mark each move as good/mistake/error/blunder. JustGo uses some Monte Carlo method that changes the best move recommendation as you look at every board state, making it tough to study. - My PC fans fire up like crazy for this game. Probably the KataGo neural networks are cooking my GPU, but I've also run KataGo on mobile devices so idk. Haven't tested the connection to OGS yet. I wish I could play this implementation of Go on my iPad!

Best go game there is on Steam currently, including an actual career in leagues. The only drawback is that the difficulty in dan ranks is insanely artificial. The AI plays like it has strategy and understanding of the game of a 10kyu with the counting of a 9 dan. Other than that, this is an absolute must play, if you're into go.

The best way to play Go online. This reminds me of Taking lessons in the late 90s. It has a great career mode, you can choose the size of the board. The ambiance is good and calming, the sound effects are minimal, but they are well done. The AI has various levels based on your in-game rank, there are vs AI tournaments and a training mode. It even includes the ability to view various matches from elite professional players, which is an amazingly helpful tool in learning advanced techniques.
