Cursed To Golf Review Cons:

No way to change how the controls work or the rebinding.
Doesn’t have any Colourblind support.
Takes a short while to get used to it all.
Still has the annoying parts of any golf game where you can literally get stuck in a part and not be able to get out and you waste the run.
Not always clear on which way to rejoin your run when in the shop.
Outfits are kind of just color swaps.
Not a lot of trophies to unlock.
