Multiplayer Golf at it's Arcade-y Finest
As of writing this I've currently played over 1300 matches with 700 wins. I've set the game down through a rage quit moment for 2 weeks, but other than that I can't seem to get enough of this game.

As of writing this I've currently played over 1300 matches with 700 wins. I've set the game down through a rage quit moment for 2 weeks, but other than that I can't seem to get enough of this game.
In a somewhat standard nowadays, there is card packs that you get to open to collect unique golfers and ball power-ups which is fun, but certainly not the main draw of the game. Playing matches with 3 other people is an absolute blast. The courses range from absurdly easy to extreme difficulty, especially as you gain levels and are able to get more courses. No matter the difficulty of the course it's still fun to play with others. You bounce of each other and hit each other. Using power-ups to try and foil your opponent. Some times luck is with you and sometimes it seems to attack you, but in the end it still somehow feels very fair. You gain skills as you go and learn shortcuts and tricks. Some you learn yourself and some you learn from watching others.
The controls are a bit weird. At first anyway. If you've played other Stickman Golf games you are probably used to aiming and then doing your typical 3 button press shot of power. Not here. Here it's a one finger show. The ball is displayed on screen and you pull it back, psuedo Angry Birds style, and launch it. I hated this control scheme at first, buy as I've played it seems to make more sense, especially in the multiplayer aspect of the game.
There are other modes to. Once like every fortnite or so you can try your chance at a tournament. This is a one on one battle to win 3 games. They typically give you unlimited use of one power up and you try your luck and the prizes are more hefty there.
You can also hoping a "guild" or what I call my Golf Club. You can trade cards and buy cards which is how you level up to improve your stats. So it's well worth your time to do so. They've recently added friendly matches and you can add friends that aren't part of your golf club. I so wish it was easier to add friends and you can't see everyone's code and you can only add that way, not by username, but it's better than nothing.
There is constant improvements to the game and with a new season every couple weeks it helps make it feel fresh. I've played this game a LOT already and I don't intend on setting it down soon.
