A good game that can't get out of it's own way. I was a big fan of the original Hot Shot Golf games especially 3 and finally picked this up. The easy to grasp, hard to master simple golf mechanics are still there and the natural golfian drama of watching your putt sail slowly towards the hole, is all still there...
But the game is a fuckin' grind. You don't unlock characters and you gotta grind your ass off to unlock courses. I've put a good 5 or 6 hours into the game and have 2 courses. Each are also only 9 holes. So really... I have one course still. The aesthetic is also hub world based and micro transation heavy so hard to recommend this game even tho it's pretty fun (especially online with friends).
