Cursed to Golf

this game fun for you at boring time in your work

It's a good game that suffers from a bunch of problems. I beat the game in about four hours, then went back and beat it two more times to get all the achievements. I can confidently say that the game is fun but suffers from being either too hard and punishing due to poorly communicated mechanics or stupidly easy once you get the hang of it. The tutorial is quite long and filled with fluff that isn't necessary at the start as most people are interested in getting straight into the golf gameplay. And once you're finally done and can actually play the game, the moment you inevitably lose, you are forced back into another tutorial to explain yet another mechanic instead of just doing it from the get-go. And for all of this explaining, they skip over the most important mechanic, that being the Pins, which are the most overpowered thing in the game, enabling you to traverse most of the terrain and at times skip over half of the level. Most of the pins at the start are mediocre, but the shop eventually begins selling the Turn On Pins, which are basically the same as the Ace Cards but with infinite uses. It's such a game changer, yet the game doesn't bother explaining it at all. Once I understood it, I managed to go through the entire game, beating all the bosses in a single run. My tip would be to go through the first few holes, using your cards as you see fit and saving up money; whenever you could go to the shop, do so and immediately look for Turn On Pins, rerolling if there aren't any. The best ones are the ones that let you control your ball, like the U-turn, and those that let you skip over terrain, like the Drill Ball. And herein lies the problem: the turn-on pins are so strong, yet they are unexplained to the player, making the later levels seem impossible. And this leads me to another problem: like all roguelites, RNG plays a factor into your runs; in this case, what pins the shop happens to have in stock, so if you happen to somehow manage to reach world three without a pin that grants mobility, you might as well restart the run. It's unlikely, with how many shops you run into, but the possibility is still there. And finally, the biggest problem with the game is that it's very unbalanced; without the pins, the levels are borderline impossible without you expending all your ace cards just to get through one level, and with the pins, they become so easy it's boring. Some more issues I have with the game: -The final level has a bunch of cutscenes that constantly interrupt your flow, and on repeat playthroughs, you are made to watch the same cutscenes again, and only some of them are skippable while others you can only fast forward through. -The unskippable final set piece before the end result screen -Some bugs here and there, the worst one being a bug that caused the ball to not melt in lava, forcing me to hit it out, only for the lava to drag the ball down again, soft-locking me. Fortunately, I could just use the Mulligan card to get out, and if I ran out of those, I could just close the game from the Steam launcher, boot it up again, and be allowed to restart the level from the beginning. Could be better but it's decent for what it . Get it on sale.

Мда...

one of the best and most unique golf games

很有意思的小游戏，肉鸽高尔夫，及其上头，流程短但是很新颖很有趣，非常推荐

游戏做得很精美，本质就是个调角度调力度的弹珠游戏，但赛博高尔夫？这主题对我实在是没什么吸引力，

Good game, had a lot of fun playing this... Chill vibes and good art style, lots to appreciate 😁
