My PS5's SSD saved this game.
I had previously played Dangerous Golf on Xbox One, and it was NOT a good time. Turns out, it just needed better hardware (specifically, a hard drive with much faster load times) to transform it from a drag to a great time.
It's no secret that this game feels a lot like the Burnout series' Crash Mode. You're here to do as much property damage as possible, though using a flaming golf ball inside of a dining hall or a gas station has far more creative options than just causing a wreck in a busy intersection. Dangerous Golf lets you trash wine cellars, restaurant kitchens, castles, and all sorts of posh living spaces full of expensive nonsense. As the game goes on, you'll unlock new mechanics and encounter more puzzle-based levels, and beating all 100 of them was a blast. I got gold or platinum medals on 77/100, but I'm not quite sure if I'll come back to bump those other 23 up or not.
One thing I didn't notice on my first playthrough was the co-op mode. This effectively lets you take two cracks at any level, with the first player going through while it's full, and the second cleaning up whatever they missed. This is a fantastic game if you've got kids, you can let them go wild when there's plenty to crash into, and then you can be more precise about smashing up what was left behind. If two adults are playing this mode, you're really going to need to communicate and plan out who goes where, otherwise Player 2 is gonna be left with scattered scraps of a level.
I can see this style of game getting old for some people, but I personally never stopped enjoying making a big ol' mess.
