Golf Story's mechanics are simple to use, but difficult to master, as course management and club selection is important but not a score-wrecker if the player gets it wrong. The sports genre is typically unwelcoming to newcomers, as hours of practice is needed to get the best out of the game and competitive multiplayer is normally pushed to the forefront. In Golf Story, there is something for everyone to enjoy. RELATED: Inscryption Launching on Switch is an Undersung Part of Nintendo's Latest Indie World Golf Story is a Sports Game For Everyone

The recent Nintendo Indie World Showcase confirmed it will bear some similarities to its predecessor, but before Sports Story releases and hopefully renews fans' love for the now-franchise, Golf Story is well worth returning to. It's an exciting thought for fans of the developer's previous outing.

Yet, Sports Story is the next project by developer Sidebar Games, which carries much of the charm of Golf Story to other activities like tennis, cricket, and soccer. The Nintendo Switch is less hindered by its power, and as such has the capability to run competent sport-based titles. It's heavily inspired by the Game Boy Color version of Mario Golf, which was more of an adventure RPG than an authentic sports simulator due to the limitations of its hardware. Golf Story is one such game, focusing more on story and exploration than the accuracy of golf itself. There have been plenty of video games that have tried to replicate the feeling, and while some franchises are accurate simulators, others are focused on more than just the sport. It's a lesson in precision, consistency and, most importantly, keeping a level head in the face of overwhelming annoyance.
