I completed the game at 100% somehow.

I really loved Golf Story because it embodied all the aspects I loved about the old Nintendo Mario Tennis and other games they released at that time. So, this sequel was something I was very much looking forward to.

Unfortunately, it did not deliver. Based on the secret dev rooms, you can tell there was a lot of conflict with how this game was expanding and becoming something likely the original devs weren't happy about. And they had to release something rather than pushing it back. It's very clear where things got rushed, bloated, and unfinished. Lots of pieces didn't end up connecting together storywise and it was a complete mess.

I'm so sorry to the devs. I hope they will go on to make something they truly love again. Wanted so badly to love this, but the glitches were too much that it was barely playable.

This is one of those games that tells me I need to trust my gut more. All of the added sports made me feel wary but I silenced them by thinking about how fun the first game is.

"I don't know, it seems like they're trying to do too much, their golf system worked well but trying to do a lot of sports? They'll probably end up half-baked and not well done"

Turns out my gut feeling was right. Doesn't help the game is extremely buggy and seems more or less abandoned at this point. They fixed some bugs but this game is an extremely poor followup to what was a great game in Golf Story.

I wouldn't recommend getting this for any reason outside of being a very big fan of the first game and just want to see what a train wreck this game ended up being. If you haven't played Golf Story just do that instead and forget this game exists

Disappointing. Loved Golf Story.

Felt unfinished, buggy, and lacking direction. Golf is the the only decent sport to play and you don't get to play enough of that.

Second worst game I played in 2023
