Ill probably keep playing this off an on for a bit, but it hasnt really gripped me the way i wanted it to. Its a fun enough golf game but im finding it hard to find an understanding of its ball physics and how your shot distance relates to the power meter. Also where in mario golf mistiming the bottom of your swing means the ball slices right or left here it seems a mistiming means your ball arbitrarily magnetizes towards the nearest hazard. Is this intentional or is this just part of how golf courses are designed? No idea. Minus one star because apparently the japanese version of the game has Kiryu in it but i have the US version and its rude that i cant have him.

Game highlight: i like how animals roam around the courses. They dont seem to interfere theyre just hanging out.
