Anyone who has played a golf game or two will have seen the system before, but it isn’t broke and doesn’t need fixing. You’ll tap a button to start the meter filling up, hit it again to choose your power, and once more to see how straight it goes. Golf is still very much the focus of the game, and works like most arcade golfing experiences do. The sports do break up some of this monotony though, although they aren’t all created equal. It’s busywork at its most mind-numbing, and with a slow run speed even with the button clamped down it gets old fast. There are even multiple times you’ll need to trade items over and over again to get what you want, running back and forth across an area swapping pens for expired credit cards until you finally get something useful that helps you progress. First off your coach wants a sandwich, then you need to find some sports equipment to actually start playing some mini games.
None of this really matters early on for you though, as you’re just sort of thrown into an environment with your friends and given some random fetch quests to complete.Īlthough you’d think sport would be at the heart of this game, you’ll spend most your time wandering around the world and talking to NPCs. PureStrike used to just sell golf clubs, but has since grown to sell sporting supplies for pretty much every athletic activity you can think of and have started buying up golf courses. Our floppy haired hero and his coach are off on a sporting adventure, in a world increasingly dominated by megacorp PureStrike. Sports Story carries on where the previous game left off. Unfortunately Sports Story really wasn’t worth waiting for. We’ve been waiting for the sporty sequel for years now, and then out of nowhere a festive miracle meant the game released unexpectedly as part of day five of Nintendo’s House of Indies event. Golf Story was the obvious choice to keep me busy, and I absolutely loved the blend of RPG hooks and golfing gameplay. Thanks to my shiny new console arriving before the selection of games (which consisted of Super Mario Odyssey and Fire Emblem Warriors) I had to head to the eShop for my new console gaming fix. The very first game I played on the Nintendo Switch was Golf Story.
