[DID NOT COMPLETE - played approx 5 hours]
What a disappointment, though considering Nintendo unceremoniously dropped it on the eShop a few days before Christmas it's not THAT surprising.
Some of Golf Story's charm remains in the writing but the gameplay is so obscenely tedious. The fetch-questing is a relentless chore and made worse by the vague objectives and total lack of a minimap. I found myself deferring to Let's Plays to figure things out but after a while I conceded I wasn't having much fun and my time was better spent elsewhere.
Performance is also embarrassing for such a visually undemanding game. Stutters all over the place, which in a game which begs split-second reactions for golf swings is reaaaaally bad.
What a letdown.
