With the recent PGA Tour 2K21 satiating the desires of golf fanatics worldwide, one has to wonder what on earth Golf Zero could possibly possess to draw gamers into their golfing experience on Xbox One and PlayStation 4. Could a super low price and an infusion with platforming be enough to entice you in for a look at this alternative, slightly crazy, golf game?
Ratalaika Games and Colin Lane Games AB have teamed up to launch Golf Zero, a mini golf style game with a bit of a difference. Unlike your usual activities on the green, you’ll need to navigate the character around the cute, pixel art 2D courses to find that ideal positioning for sinking a putt. Its unique mixture of golfing and platforming means that you must use agility – jumping, running and sliding – in order to avoid unconventional hazards such as brutal boulders, whirling saw blades, or zinging bullets, and claim the much-coveted Gold medals.
Lining up for a hole-in-one will get trickier as you progress through the 80+ levels, which present increasingly challenging layouts. There’s also a speed run mode for the most hardcore gamers to test their skills to the max. And, it’ll only cost a mere £4.99 – discounted to £3.99 for two weeks post-launch – for the privilege of owning Golf Zero via the Xbox Store or PS Store. If you’re a Switch die-hard, don’t worry, because it’ll hit your digital store on 11th September.
