We might a little biased, but to see the game basically in “Australian” language and not boring old English is a laugh and a half. The story isn’t serious as that sounds, it’s filled with a crazy cast of characters and some of the freshest, funniest writing this year. Twenty years later you set off to become a professional golfer the problem is the world is filled with people who are standing in your way. Golf Story starts off with the main character as a kid being taught to play golf with his dad (and something about Geese) but it’s basically the way the game introduces you to the Golf mechanic. The charm doesn’t stop at the graphics - the characters, the way text pops up on screen during a conversation in combination with HD rumble, it brings you into the game and brings the characters to life. If it wasn’t for the modern overlays you could be forgiven for thinking you’re playing a SNES game. What we did know about Golf Story was that it was a Golf game, it was an RPG and had similar mechanics to the brilliant Mario Golf series - it sounded too good to be true, but luckily that wasn’t the case here.įrom the minute you boot up Golf Story you’re smashed in the face with charm, the 16-bit graphics are a welcome break from the 8-bit indie trend we’ve had for years. Golf Story is one of the biggest surprises of the year we knew the game existed but knew almost nothing else about it, which is something that doesn’t happen very often these days.
