Golfing is often seen as a conservative sport; however, 'Everybody's Golf' throws that stereotype out of the window while swinging big clubs and driving carts like you're in a High Speed Chase movie. This 2017 relaunch of the classic series presents a light-hearted, approachable take on what could easily become lawn bowling for the digital age. So, strap in, form a makeshift golf team, and take a journey through character development that would put soap operas to shame.
The game introduces character creation and customization, allowing you to morph your avatar into whatever you desire. Fancy a rooster hat? You got it. A giant foam finger? Done. The character personalization is just as flexible as your grandma’s bingo strategies. Players can strut their stuff in matches against other players or AI on stunningly designed courses, each with its own unique perils. Now, let's talk about the ‘gameplay.’ It’s delightfully simple yet satisfying. If you’ve ever wanted to smack a ball in a cartoonish world while driving around in a golf cart like you’re avoiding taxes, this is your jam! Players can roam free around the courses, which promotes shenanigans and fun little detours. Who needs to follow the rules when you can ride around, pretending you're in an arcade cart racer while trying to shoot birds out of the sky with your driver? There's also a plethora of mini-games and challenges that will really test your skills – or lack thereof, depending on how many times you've shouted at the screen during a critical miss.
Visually, 'Everybody's Golf' sports vibrant, cartoonish graphics that illuminate the world like a kid’s art project gone right. The characters are exaggerated and full of personality, and the lush landscapes would make Mother Nature shed a tear of joy. Each course is varying, from sunny beaches to mountain vistas, and they all look like a new postcard begging to be sent to Instagram. The animation during swings is so exaggerated that even Disney animators would be high-fiving whoever was responsible for it. Plus, there's something hilariously satisfying about watching those little characters glitch while performing a victory dance that looks like it's straight from a 90s dance-off movie. Truly, the eye candy is sweeter than post-golf lemonade.
In the end, ‘Everybody's Golf’ serves up a delightful cocktail of fun, humor, and accessibility that even the stuffiest of golfers might find themselves and their grandkids enjoying. With charming visuals, engaging gameplay mechanics, and endearing characters, you will always leave the green with a smirk on your face, whether you sink that hole-in-one or wildly miss and hit a friendly raccoon. It’s not just golf; it’s an experience. Can it get any better? Yes – just bring your friends, your wackiest character designs, and a sense of humor. Don’t worry about par, just bring your ‘A’ game in laughter!
