A Little Golf Journey is a minimalist golf game played entirely on diorama courses. It's incredibly simple with only a few buttons but all the charm. It starts off with some very basic levels, but by the end you are in an entirely different scenario (no spoilers!). Every level has a set number of shots to get the highest number of stars which gets you the best score on that hole. You eventually start unlocking "blue things", their literal in game name, as an extra collectible in many holes. AND on top of that, various holes will have a secret exit or little puzzle you must complete if you are looking to get that 100%.
The various challenges and settings throughout the game make sure that it never fully overstays its welcome or becomes stale. There are a few challenges which brought about some minor frustrations, but it never became all too difficult. I achieved 100% in just about 20 hours, though I believe a couple hours of that may have been idle time.
It's a fun, relaxing puzzle golf game that even if you aren't a fan of the sport you can definitely find something here to enjoy! It has a demo, so give it a try!
