Eggy
If this game ended after The end? Level I would have given it a good review but it doesn’t. The game ends after Vulcano which is a poorly designed hell compared to the rest of the game. It’s like going from easy to expert. It took me 6 hours to casually make it to the last level but since then I have spent 14 hours trying to complete Vulcano with no luck.

I just fully completed the game and I can definitely say: it was absolutely worth my time, effort and money. Eggy is a fantastic 2D-platformer with intriguing physics, stunning environments and a lot of creativity.
The game can be frustrating at times, but unlike games such as Getting Over It, Eggy does have checkpoints. Everytime you make it to another checkpoint after a hard section, you feel satisfied and motivated to continue playing.
The game also truly rewards creativity. While there always is a path available to go, thinking out of the box can occasionally work in your favor and reward you with a shortcut or secret.

Golfing Over It with Alva Majo
A lot of people are saying that this game is too difficult, has bad controls, or that the ball is too random. Everyone saying these things are wrong. I know because I used to be that person. I had left a very negative review that ripped apart this game for being unfair to the player in its design, but it turns out I was completely wrong about that. I was blaming the game for my lack of skill. But after playing it a bit more, I started to make progress.
This game gives me the same nervous sweats that Getting Over It gives me, which I love. The higher you climb, the more the tension grows. It’s what I imagine walking a tightrope feels like. Falling in this game often means losing a lot of progress, but unlike Getting Over It, that progress can be made up quite quickly. After a while, you become familiar with some of the areas through repetition, and that makes exploring new areas very exciting.

If you’re reading the bad reviews - check to see if they managed to beat the game, or if they are just raging.
Everybody thinks they have a point to make when they’re angry. It’s sad to see so many bad players blaming their lack of skills on the game. A game that was made to be this way on purpose. It’s actually easier than Getting Over It, it’s just not the same game mechanics at all.
Having said that, if you want a game to make you feel good about yourself, don’t buy this game - this won’t be handing you any free wins - you will have to earn it. Took me 2 hours in 2 different sessions. Now I feel like I can beat it in 10 mins since I learned many techniques along the way. I’m curious to see how the speedruns are doing…

Golf On Mars
If you’re familiar with Desert Golfing - this is that, but better. Cheap, simple, relaxing fun, at least until you get stuck in a hole with no escape. Luckily, unlike Desert Golfing, you’re able to skip a hole after 25 strokes. You also have more smooth courses, the able to put backspin on the ball, and to easily reset the game. One thing I hope to see changed, perhaps, are the achievements for the game - currently only four, each for completing a certain amount of holes: one hundred, one thousand, ten thousand, and one billion. It could definitely use some “get 1 hole in one” “get 5 holes in one” etc achievements, but my main gripe is that one billion, while funny, is simply not possible during the course of normal play. Anyway, pretty minor stuff. Would heartily recommend this for a relaxing time putting a ball over the dunes of Mars.

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.

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.

The one thing it needs to make it perfect is a replay shortcut button because it’s tedious to go to the top left corner every time. Also the yellow replay button is unintuitively placed in between the exit and “next” button. I think those should have been placed vertically instead of horizontally but nvm.

Arcane golf is, well a golf game, kind of. You are expected to put the ball in a hole, but going through 2d levels it’s closer to a platformer with golf controls than to other minigolf type games.
The visuals of the game are very pleasing, and the game actually has some story behind it, with a character talking you through as you progress with the levels, nothing special but adds some to the world.
The gameplay for the most part is also fun, but there are a few exceptions, most levels are designed with a specific way of beating them in mind, but during some I just couldn’t figure out what that way could be, since they were really open, with no real indicators what the devs had in mind, some lightly tinted wall bricks as to indicate a first hit, or a place to aim at would be a nice touch, as it was admittedly a bit frustrating to just be stuck and try to find a valiable strategy, while messing with angles, places to shoot from or speeds of the hit. It was rare (only a few levels like that) but as there are no guides for the game it was bothersome.

Dangerous Golf
So, played for the past 15 minutes….it’s pretty fun! Price isn’t bad for some crashbreaking fun.
If you have a mid-range computer you probably can’t enjoy this game in full glory. My video settings are all turned down load, but the textures are set to High. You can cap the framerate to 60Hz, which means there is actually 60 fps support.
I think this would play better on a beefy computer, since it’s Unreal Engine 4.
However, having no keyboard or mouse support is kind of a loss. You do need an Xbox 360/One controller, or in my case, a Wii U Pro controller.

I love Burnout games. They’re some of the best car racing games in my opinion, very arcadey, but when you mess up it turns into beautiful beautiful destruction porn.
Dangerous Golf looks to be the same game, in fact I’ve been tracking this game for awhile, ever since the first beautiful destruction video came out. The entire world getting destroyed in beautiful slow mo, and I was in love. I wanted this game. I bought the humble bundle with this game in to finally get this game, and … well the love affair is over. The destruction porn idea is still here in some extent, the problem is it’s trying to be burnout without the game behind it.
