It’s very… Mario Kart, for want of a better comparison, and just like with Mario Kart, it’s all very, very funny.
There’s real joy in snatching victory by throwing down some honey and ruining your buddy’s perfectly directed putt. Golf With Friends does get a lot better in multiplayer, and not least because you suddenly get all these items to use that can really mess with your friend’s score. Now at this point you’ll likely argue “but the point of Golf With Your Friends is the multiplayer! After all, you can play with up to 12 people in a single game!” This is indeed true. But it still comes across as very clinical and dry. Environments are fine (and there’s a good range of them), and the actual design of the holes are filled with clever twists and obstacles. The problem with doing this is that Golf With Your Friends struggles mightily to exhibit much character when you’re playing solo. Then the ball travels off in whatever direction and, you hope, ends up closer to the hole.
You line it up in the direction that you want to hit it, and go through the motions of selecting the power that you’ll swing. The bad news is that it lacks much personality.įor one thing, there’s no avatar representing yourself on the screen. The good news is that Golf With Your Friends is a workable version of minigolf.
Also, minigolf is an easier way to play with friends, and the silly little obstacles make for a more chill entertainment activity than a sport, as such. putting a ball in a hole – while cutting out the stuff that isn’t so fun – like losing your ball in the field next to the golf course because you mishit it that badly.
Minigolf focuses in on the part of the golfing experience that is actually enjoyable – i.e. I’m going to go out on a very controversial limb here and say that minigolf is so much better than actual golf.
