    Party Golf is "less golf, more party," a crazy, competitive couchplay game for one to eight players.

    Tee off simultaneously to a psychedelic 2D world, with satisfyingly simple physics, except it's a frenetic free-for-all to get in the hole. It's instant fun with endless variety; there are trillions of gameplay combinations, from giant banana balls to turbo power-ups. This spontaneous couch party may drive a wedge between friends, but have everyone shouting "just one more round!"

    *4-player local-multiplayer and even 8-player matches with everyone using their own JoyCon
    *over 100 included game modes, and you can make your own with our super powerful gameplay customization system
    *procedurally generated terrains so you'll never play the same hole twice
    *over 10 different powerups to suit any play style
    *... and crazy powerups, night golf, checkpoints, elimination modes, rat-king... the number of ways to play is practically endless!

    Even though there are a ridiculous amount of rules to customize, at the heart of it all is a simple pick-up-and-play golf game. Whether taking the experience on the go or playing on the TV, the Switch's Joy-Cons are ideal for a quick session (hold down + on the Main menu to toggle the option to use a single Joy-Con). If all you want is a quick multiplayer no-nonsense game, that exists here too with the Quick Game. For a crazy absolutely nonsensical game to explore with a bunch of friends, you've come to the right place.

    To answer our initial question of whether or not Party Golf can successfully join the eShop’s masterful collection of multiplayer goodness: quite simply, yes. The amount of customisation options are mind-blowing and essentially allow you to make the game be whatever you want it to be. The asking price at launch feels just a tad steep (a bit more polish and a slightly higher level of presentation wouldn’t go amiss) but, with the right friends around you, you’ll be having so much fun laughing at each other’s mistakes that you’ll hardly care.

    Party Golf has loads of modes to keep you busy, and offers loads of fun to bring you back. Gather some friends together and you'll have a bundle of fun, but it's also good fun playing against some CPUs. It's perhaps forgiven at not having some kind of story mode by the sheer depth of modes available - pick it up. I'm sure you'll have fun too.

    If you regularly play local multiplayer with three or more players, Party Golf is well worth a look. Not since Towerfall have I enjoyed a four-player game so much. A warning, though: play it on your TV. The balls are far too small for tabletop mode.

    A great little couch competitive game, nice looking, lot's of modes, and an absolute steal at 2 dollars on sale.
