Review: Party Golf (Nintendo Switch)
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.

- 1.2GB Download size.
- 8 player support players sharing joycons.

Summary
There is no denying it, Party Golf is a riot with friends! Simple controls, 8 player support and so much customisation even Little Big Planet would shy away in a jealous rage. Now there is such thing as too many options but luckily the game manages to keep itself grounded long enough so anyone can still get a grip[ on things. It is a decent port and a lot of fun to play. In short, the game is pure madness and I love it!
