![]() It'll be teeing off on 19th May, but you can actually go ahead and pre-purchase the game from the eShop as we speak. But for someone looking for a laugh with friends, as a party game Golf With Your Friends is less of a whiff and can assuredly be enjoyed.Team17 and Blacklight Interactive have revealed that Golf With Your Friends, a multiplayer mini-golf game, will be launching on Switch next month. The game lacks the depth of many other golf games, so for enthusiasts of the genre, the title may not be up to par. Still, playing with friends online and seeing all the golf balls fly down the course can certainly be fun. The Steam version also has a course creator that the console version doesn't have, although Team 17 says it may arrive at some point. Golf With Your Friends has been playable on Steam for a few years, so it is a bit disappointing that the game has been ported over to consoles with some of its flaws. Still, the incentive to come back and keep playing the game is there, so that everyone can get there own fun customizable gear. It would have been nice to be able to unlock items by challenges instead. Every 45 minutes, and after completing a course, a new hat, trail, or floaty is acquired randomly. ![]() While titles like Worms have wonderful voiceovers that bring laughter and joy, the same exact "chime" is played whether the player gets a par or a triple bogey.Įach day players can unlock up to three customizable items for their golfball by simply playing the game. The music feels about right for being a family-friendly party game title with themes for the various courses, but there is a charm that is missing from the game. At times, the game can also chug and drop in frame-rate, especially on levels like Space Station that have a lot going on. ![]() Visually, Golf With Your Friends looks rough around the edges. It seems like most hosts would rather have the ability to play a quicker match than roll around as a rectangle. The host can also change up settings like altering the ball shape to be a star, but the curiosity of this is that the host can't choose to only play 9-holes or something along those lines. Classic is just old-fashion golf, while Party Mode adds collision elements to the golf balls and places powerups around the map like the ability to hop in the air, place down sticky honey, and more. In the end, Classic and Party Mode will probably be the go-to modes. The mode is fun for a round, but standard golf is what players will gravitate towards most likely. In Hockey, the hole is replaced with a net and a tricky goalie, while the ball is replaced with a puck. Basketball asks players to hop up and dunk the golf ball in the basket, like an old-school basketball game, but this is more infuriating than fun. There are multiple game modes to choose from in Golf With Your Friends, and the host of the online match can also alter the settings in some interesting ways. Some levels get absolutely insane, but in a fun way, with the Worms-themed course, meant to tie in with the new Worms game coming this year, really upping the ante. If Oasis and Forest were marked as "Regular" while Haunted House was marked with "Hard," for example, it would help players know what they are getting into. It would be nice if Team 17 had indicated a difficulty level for each course, even as all of them are tough. Each course usually starts out with a relatively easy few holes, but by the time the back 9 has rolled around, the course ramps up to some truly difficult holes. They range from being simplistic, like Forest, to straight-up bonkers courses like Museum. There are 11 courses to enjoy in Golf With Your Friends, and this is where the game thrives. All of this renders the awesome "Free Cam" option as something that is almost scary to use. Additionally, after applying spin, the ball can't go back to a perfectly straight shot again, there will always be a slight spin on it. So when the player comes back it's entirely possible to forget that spin was applied, set up a perfectly aimed shot, and watch the shot spin in a strange direction. But the problem is that the thumbsticks are used to move around in "Free Cam," so when doing this the game thinks that the player wants to add spin to the ball (since the thumbsticks are also used to add spin). There is a beneficial ability called "Free Cam" which allows players to fly through the sky like a Lakitu from Mario so that they can scope out the course. It's a helpful tool for finding out where the hole is and how to navigate the course, especially on the trickier holes.
