It’s a gorgeous game that gets to the heart of why people get hooked on golf and, as I said, if you’re a fan of the sport, it’s a must-play.

A Little Golf Journey is a treat from start to finish, and should be a wonderful addition to almost anyone’s library.

With 400 stars to earn, dozens of Blue Things to find, and countless secrets to discover, it turns out that A Little Golf Journey is actually much larger and content-full than its name would imply. I love having it to chill out with before bedtime as I need to wind down after multi-hour Metroid Dread sessions, and I think it might actually be my new favorite golf game on Switch, closely edging out Golf Story. I did encounter a few technical issues where my ball got stuck and I had to restart the hole, but this wasn’t a frequent occurrence. If you’re looking for a peaceful and zen-inducing golf experience, there might not be any better than A Little Golf Journey. I intend to relive this journey over and over as I shoot for the stars, and yeah, those little blue things, too.

The most surprising part of the experience was becoming engrossed in a story that built without being noticed. The game opens with a letter that originally seems to just be a stand-in for the developer to welcome players to golf, but over time it transitions into something more personal and reflective. What was once a series of formal letters becomes something beautiful, a sincere back and forth between X and Y, the player and the writer. A Little Golf Journey is a game full of surprises and a gameplay loop that never gets old, and comes highly recommended. Next: The Good Life Review: Life Sim Busywork & Smalltown Murder A Little Golf Journey is out now on Nintendo Switch and PC via Steam.

There are plenty of golf games and mini golf games on the market... A Little Golf Journey more or less combines both normal and mini golf and also adds some other quirks to stand out in the best possible way from a very large crowd. 4.3 Golf Puzzler I’ve been playing golfing games since… well… so far back I can’t remember the original title but I’m pretty sure it’s when CGA was still a thing (that’s colour graphics adapter not Carolina’s Golf Association).

If you are looking for a proper golf title, this is absolutely not the game for you. However, if you are a gamer and simply enjoy an abstract challenge that borrows from some pretty heavy hitters, this is an excellent video game with a golf skin. This is not Tiger Woods or PGA, but it is a golf video game, one with branching paths, secret holes, collectibles, and more! It is not a little journey, either, as A Little Golf Journey will take up lots of your time in a wonderfully relaxing and fun way. So ready your shot, take aim, and go for that hole in one, because A Little Golf Journey sure is one itself! A Little Golf Journey Review provided by Nintendo Link Review also found on OpenCritic Publisher: Playtonic Developer: Okidokico Release Date: October 14th, 2021 Price: $17.99, £15.49, €16,79 Game Size: 1.3 GB Fantastic and unique gameplay Secrets and branching paths Very meaty game Lovely art style and relaxing soundtrack Interesting subtle story Some technical issues here and there Lack of explanation about certain elements (Have to learn on your own) What's Your Reaction?
