Golfinite

if you love mario golf, you will love this

ENG: I haven't played it that much yet, but it's already making its way into my top 3 golf games. The gameplay is the classic power bar, and when it comes back, it's the accuracy of the shot, although, as we play, we can buy abilities such as making a ball change its trajectory and bounce directly into the hole, which takes it away from the simulation type and makes it more arcade-ish. Visually, it's very pleasing, with a particularly clean top-down view, four biomes, and procedurally generated maps. It doesn't have many game modes, and it's especially a shame that it doesn't have multiplayer, either local or online. However, it does have a daily challenge mode with rankings, which, once you've finished the content, is a reason to play it a little bit every day. It had been on my wish list for a long time. I should have bought it sooner.

La jugabilidad es la clásica barrita de poder que, cuando vuelve, es la precisión del tiro, aunque, a medida que jugamos, podemos ir comprando otros poderes, como hacer que una pelota cambie su trayectoria, rebote directo al hoyo, lo que lo aleja del género de simulación, llevándolo hacia algo más arcade. Visualmente es muy lindo a la vista, con su perspectiva topdown que es especialmente clean, 4 biomas distintos y mapas que son de generación procedural. No tiene muchos modos de juego, y se extraña especialmente la falta de un modo multijugador. Aunque sí tiene un modo de desafío diario con rankings, el cual, una vez terminado el contenido, es una razón para jugarlo un poquito cada día. Llevaba mucho tiempo en mi wishlist, es bueno, tendría que haberlo comprado antes.

Fun golf game! Perfect for the Steam Deck.

[h1]Played On Steam Deck[/h1] I used to love playing Mario Golf on Game Boy Color and have been looking for something similar for quite some time. Golfinite from Pmurph Games definitely scratches that itch and gives a great golf-RPG experience. There is a fun leveling system reminiscent of the Mario Golf leveling (as distance increases all other attributes go down) and the courses are pretty, but were not a challenge for me. Even with the silly gimmicks on the course, the tournaments felt easy to me. I thought the golf tech was a very cool aspect of the game and definitely added some strategy to some of the shots. Some feedback to the dev, the game overall feels more arcadey than I’d like and is too easy. Maybe the next version should have some elevation aspects throughout the course, not just the green. I wish there was more content! I beat all 4 tournaments in under 6h without rushing. I am excited to 100% this game so I’ll be playing awhile longer to get 10 hole-in-ones. Update: took me ~8h to complete 10 Hole-In-Ones, but still was 200+ strokes short of 1000 so in a single practice hole I took 234 shots and then forfeited to get the last achievement. Definitely a recommended game for Mario Golf fans. Rating 8.5/10 My setup: Steam Deck: Dock Mode Uperfect 2K 120hz monitor PS4 controller

Always wanted an RPG like Mario Golf game and this gives it to you at a most fundamental level. Sometimes the obstacles are obscene but there's gear that goes on cooldown that can really mitigate a lot of it. Enjoy playing a game where I just have a completely uncontrollable golfer who hits 300 yard drives while everyone else is stuck at 200 with much more balanced stats. Buy this game if you enjoy Mario Golf RPGs where you level up stats and are fine with a much more stripped down version but with very helpful/cheaty abilities to control the ball.

So I'll admit I'm only here because of the Humble Bundle, I'm not usually much into golf games, but this had a fantastic 16-bit look to it and plays so, so well I can highly recommend it. Feels a bit like a SNES or an Amiga game with some modern QOL upgrades and a little bit of craziness thrown in (warp gates, challenges where you have to hit through gates on the way to the hole etc). Played on Steam Deck and it works brilliantly on the controller, or is playable with keyboard and mouse. If I've got any criticism it's perhaps a little too easy, ie it's too easy to hit a perfect stroke and so once you've worked out how you want to play a hole you can pretty much birdie it every time with a bit of practice. I'd like to see more courses too or harder tournaments, but for what's here out of the box this is a really, really fun game well worth the Bundle cost alone and decent value at its full price if you're coming in after that wraps up. Deserves to be much better known and I'm off to see what else the developers have worked on.

felt tedious. meh

I tried this game during it's demo period a while back before it released in 2023. At the time it looked like a charming, minimalistic golf game. Expectations wound up being kinda ruined when the game came out and I got to play it for real. Simply put, it just didn't sit right with me. It just doesn't scratch that itch that I was expecting, plus the fact that the game was harder than it was advertised, making it more of a slog. Add in the fact that you can't really upgrade your stats without other aspects of your game getting worse... for some reason... and you have yourself a game that is basically begging you to suffer. What a shame.
