---A minigolfing video game is something I've always loved to indulge in. There's something so satisfying about wacky graphics, power-ups, and lining up shots at your pace. Thus, once I saw YouTube personalities Achievement Hunter play 3D Minigolf Adventures Deluxe when I was young, I made it a goal to one day play through the game myself. Now once I have, I can say with certainty that it's "fine." It's not great, but it's not terrible. 3D Minigolf Adventures Deluxe is a perfectly sufficient minigolf video game.
---The bright, colorful, cartoony aesthetics are an instant hook for me. I also love the variety of courses. They're a little cliche, from "Wild West" to "Circus." There's not anything here that's going to blow minds, but Wakano's penchant for making quaint, fun looking environments shines through. I also love the mechanics, and how well they execute. The golfing physics feel great, the hole-in-ones can be clever and tricky, and the game as a whole runs great on PC.
---That being said, there isn't much to do in the game besides play single player "tournaments" where you drive games against AI you don't see. Minigolf Adventures is definitely a game you want to play with friends. Sadly the software only allows for local play. I also found the character variety to be a bit disappointing, and weird. Like, they're all so unhappy. Why? Finally, the free-look camera with the mouse I think could use some tweaking. It's a bit sensitive, and whenever you start moving your mouse the camera likes to jolt a bit. Overall though, this a is minigolf video game, and a serviceable one at that. - [05/10]
