Links E6
Enjoy that this is basically the old LInks game. I prefer the 3-click to mouse movement for golf games and don’t care about ability to control ball movement / spin after shot. I don’t have issues with speed / flow of swing meter). I like the simplicity, but, wish there was an avatar and ability to select different clubs in the bag (swap 4 hybrid for 3-iron, etc). I miss the commentary during play (Nice shot!, Great Eagle!, etc,.). Would like to see other E6 golf courses other than the current selections. Thought that the graphics could have been a bit better, but, that may be due to reusing old scans. Others have had issues getting the game to play or crashing during the game - I have not experienced any of those issues, but, I’m playing a relatively new, modest gaming PC (i5-10400 - 16GB RAM, NVME SSD, 1660 Super 6GB video card) running Windows 10 21H1. Did not expect it to be a free game which was nice, of couse, the additional course packs extra, but, reasonably priced.

First impression review. Let me preface this by saying I am not a tourney or group player. Strictly a come home after work and play a relaxing round of PC golf type of player. I have been playing Links series 2 click and 3 click for years. Don’t care for true swing type golf games. That being said I loaded this up and headed to the Range. No adjustments, all default settings. Hit about a 100 shots and I have to agree with the folks about a swing model flaw. In the first 15 minutes I completely duffed the ball about 50% of the time. Okay, need to practice. After 30 minutes I had that down to about 15% of the time. Better, but after 43 minutes I still duffed the ball around 10-15% of the time and did not see myself improving and I had to concentrate so intently on trying to hit the swing marks I was getting a headache. At this point I could not imagine playing a round without duffing the ball 4-6 times. Not fun and not to realistic for an experienced golfer. The swing formula is very unforgiving. If you over swing at all to get power the down swing is so fast you duff the ball most of the time. In earlier Links games an over swing would result in a nasty hook or slice, in E6 you duff the ball. In fact I found that I rarely hooked or sliced at all and when I did they were mild, right on the edge of the rough. Which brings up another flaw in that whether I hooked, sliced or hit straight many of the balls were going to the exact same spot, not to realistic. UPDATE: After 2 hours of play and playing 36 holes, the game is playable but I stand by my unforgiving swing comment. I can get pars and birdies but I completely duff the ball 4-5 times per 9 holes. You can use mulligans for those but it takes away from the realism and feels like cheating. Other observations are that the auto caddie makes things pretty easy and all that’s left is the clicking. Also auto caddie was not always accurate especially on chipping and made putting too easy. I made too many 50ft + putts. Also as someone else mentioned, the environment is a little sterile. You have birds and wind but no clapping or comments. Last, really irritating to have to log in and enter a password for solo play, I wish there was an offline component. Overall game can be fun with practice.

100ft Robot Golf
This felt more like an anime with interactive bits than a game. At several points matches are ended early with the match finishing in the cutscene. How you do in the matches has no bearing on the story, either, and you’re constantly forced to change character. Each character has a different special ability, but in several cases I couldn’t work out what they did, and it was never explained. I’m sure the anime part is enjoyable if you’re familiar with anime, but I’m not- I just wanted to play golf with 100 foot robots.

Wanted to write something longer, but haven’t played too much and wanted to keep it the review digestable.
I recommend this game with the stipulation that you buy it for $15 or less and enjoy the McElroy’s or cheesy humor meant to mimic the style of 80s/90s anime involving mech pilots, as well have having some friends to play with.
The gameplay is standard enough (it’s golf), only now you’re in mechs and can destroy buildings and try to hinder each other from making shots. Controls are mapped well and feel varying between mechs but are a bit cryptic, since they aren’t really explained anywhere so it’s more trial and error when you first pilot a new one. Special weapons feel nice as well, though, again, they aren’t explained too well. Physics might be a bit too floaty, though we do golf on the Moon and under the sea, so I suppose those are the reasons for it.

Off The Chains Disc Golf
Update: Game is Dead no dev work anymore don’t expect much
played for about 5 hours and love the game. really hope the dev doesn’t drop production and have plans to stream this game in rotation because of how into disc golf my buddy and I are.
Bugs:
-
don’t like that i HAVE to teleport to my disc for the bag to pop up and let me take a shot
-
Sometimes the round won’t end no matter how many times the last person throws their disc in the chains
-
I can pull a disc out and carry it within 10 ft of the basket and drop it in for an ace

This is an excellent Disc Golf experience. My friends and I play IRL about once a week, and while it takes some adjustment to throwing weightless VR discs; the physics of this game are consistent enough that you can apply your real-life disc golf skills into the game with just a bit of practice. The environments look great, and the terrain of the courses feel diverse and realistic. I was able to maintain a smooth wireless experience on my Oculus Quest (1) over Virtual Desktop on High settings. The visuals aren’t photo-realistic, but they are good enough I feel that I’m able to be immersed in the experience.

Spent about an hour on this before beating it. For some of the levels it is impossible to get 3 stars which pains my completionist mindset. The controls are pretty finnicky and sensitive to begin, but you get used to them after about 10 min of playing. It is only a dollar if you don’t get it from giveaway.su, but even then i wouldn’t recommend buying it.

The Master Club
Hi, guys! Its simple VR game with good visual objects. The Master Club - is a collection of the games. You can play basketball, try to solve Rubic’s cube or bowling. Most interesting for me it is Air Hockey! I like it in real life so in VR too! It’s nice casual games.

A cool game that interested me the other day. At this point in time, one of the best time killers. The game has a large number of minigames and places to play.I will especially note my favorite game in life, billiards, not being able to go to a billiard club because of quarantine, I can play it here. The game is definitely 10/10

DOG GONE GOLFING
Dog Gone Golfing is an adorable title where you pick a dog and go golfing…with hockey pucks because the dogs chewed all the golf balls up. The game itself is fairly simple, with the objective being to get the puck in the hole in as few moves as possible. This game is easy to pick up and play, and if you aren’t careful, you might get sucked in for hours. I was really impressed with the amount of content that was in this game despite it being only $2.29. Overall, it’s a great and charming game for your library. :)

A simple Worms-style gameplay, at a rock-bottom price. Could have used more polish. For example, the functions of the two action-types are not explained. There are no golf clubs to select, nor directions to aim. The mechanics of obsticles, wind speeds, and ability-skills are not explained. The system of meta-game unlocks are not explained. Also, I am very annoyed that the xbox-style gamepad controller doesn’t work.
If you have the patience to look past the short-comings, then I think there is a golf-campaign to be explored. You will be limited to only one club, only hitting the ball straight ahead, and a having to learn as you go. Maybe you can even get your controller working with it. Dog Gone Golfing uses the Game Maker game engine. I tried playing this on an Ubuntu 18.10 system.

All-In-One Sports VR
This VR sports game has a nice assortment of 10 sports games for the price of 1. When I first started the game, it had a nice fun game assortment of options to chose from. I’ve played each sports game with various different opinions on each one.
1.Archery: This sport is nice and relaxing just requires you to aim towards the target. Like that’s they’re other factors that could cause you to be less accurate on shots. Requires more skill to actually aim towards the target.
2.Billard: This is a fun and relaxing game. I like that there’s an indication to telling if you going to hit one of the balls or the direction of where the ball could land. All in all good, but make it so when you’re viewing your opponent’s turn you can move easier around the table.

Ok so. i have almost all of the standalone appnori games. They were always pretty good but this is probably the one you want to get now that it has a ridiculous amount more content.
Only downsides is the artstyle here is more Chibi so some events everything is super sized.
I think there’s a lot of content if you’re into only scoreboard or just beating the AI. Haven’t tried multiplayer.
In general all of the sports “work” there’s no control issues. Controls are really polished it’s just on the arcade side. So some sports like golf there are way better more realistic golf games out there.
