Review<\/h2>\n

Who doesn’t love a little mini golf? Golf With Your Friends<\/strong> is a multiplayer putt putt golf game that checks all the boxes. I used to play putt putt often growing up, not so much as an adult, so playing this game with a group of friends was a lot of fun. You have the option to play the game solo as well, though the online support to play with others is where it\u2019s really at.<\/p>\n

The game is very straight forward and plays exactly the way you would expect it. You aim your shot with a power slider and shoot! The classic maps that come as a base for the game are all colorful and cleverly designed. Physics were good and the levels played smoothly, and some had unique mechanics that can reward creative plays in ways that probably wouldn\u2019t be possible in real life putt-putt. There is a nice (timed) free camera that you can use at each hole to get a view of the hole and plan your shots. It is very easy to pick up and learn for all players.<\/p>\n

\"\"A cute feature of the game is that your ball is fully customizable with colors and hats. You can use RGB sliders to change the ball to anything that you wish (mine is a lovely pastel pink). As you play you unlock different hats for your ball that won\u2019t punish you for using them. A unicorn horn, an apple pie, an army cap, you name it.<\/p>\n

There is also a course builder that players can use to create some truly outstanding and unique maps. There are a plethora that you can choose from that have been submitted by the game\u2019s community, though I advise some caution when using these maps with new players, as some of them can be poorly built and glitchy, unreasonably punishing, or simply an illogical eye sore. There are other some maps that include modifications that change the shape of your ball, or add effects like low gravity.<\/p>\n

There was a period where this game consumed my little gaming clan, and we had a blast laughing together over discord. Even with a competitive group, no one really got all that angry or cared about losing. I\u2019ve found it to be a nice and relaxing way to hang out with friends, without the stress of dealing with difficult game mechanics. This is the type of game that will be fun for all sorts, including folks that really just aren\u2019t that into video games and everyone was able to have a good time. The game is reasonably priced for a genuinely fun and competitive gaming experience with a group of friends.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
