Golf With Your Friends Review

Golf With Your Friends is widely recognized as a fun, casual mini golf game that shines when played in a group setting. Players praise its ability to deliver both relaxed and competitive gameplay experiences, often highlighting the social aspect as a core strength. The game offers a variety of courses ranging from easy to challenging, with the addition of community-created maps significantly extending replayability.

However, the game is not without its flaws. Many users report frustrating bugs, glitches, and occasionally broken physics that can hamper the experience. The pricing and value of downloadable content (DLC) is a common point of contention, with many feeling the DLC is overpriced and should be more reasonably priced or included in the base game. Despite these issues, the game maintains a loyal player base due to its addictive multiplayer fun and unique blend of PvP and PvE elements.

Highlights

Gameplay mechanics receive strong praise for being simple yet engaging, balancing competitive and casual play. The multiplayer aspect, especially playing with friends, is frequently cited as a major plus.

The inclusion of community maps and custom content greatly enhances the game's longevity and variety, keeping players coming back for more.
