But feel free to correct me if that is not the case.Īll in all, the game is fairly well designed. As far as I know, it would probably NOT work with Steam Remote Local Multiplayer functions since Hot Seat should appear as a single-player game in which you take turns, not a simultaneous multiplayer experience.

In any case, Hot Seat Mode works well if you have anyone else at home to play with. When I tried to find some online games, I could not find any public lobbies, so your mileage may vary.

Playing alone is not too much fun, so this is really the type of game where you want to play either online or in Hot Seat Mode (local multiplayer) with friends. Mayhem! Overall, if you like the more traditional minigolf game, Forest is probably the closest you can get. In the Worms zone, the land is filled with mines and other explosives: travelling too close to them cause explosions which send your ball flying in unexpected directions. In the Egyptian-themed zone, you sometimes have to bounce on pillars to do a proper ricochet to get to the right spot. In the spaceship zone (and others too), mini black holes will drastically change the trajectory of your ball when you come too close – which is something you can use to your advantage as well. In the forest course, some parts of it involve moving logs and saws emerging from the ground, requiring very timely moves. Golf with Your Friends brings some twists to the well established genre, with jetpacks, teleporters, black holes, gravity pits and boosters on the different courses. Just like in older minigolf games, there is no club selection (you don’t even see your character), so as far as you can tell it’s just the golf ball in various environments. If you are not familiar with the genre, it’s like golf, without the long distance walking and the boring trees: here you have to deal with obstacles designed to be there, and a properly designed track.

It’s still about landing your ball in the hole with the least amount of putts. And Golf With Your Friends is basically a modern version of Zany Golf in 3D with the bells and whistles that come with modern technologies. Back in my early days I spent a lot of time on the infamous Zany Golf. You see, the idea of having a miniature golf game is not new, far from it. Golf With Your Friends brings me back big time to the late 80s.
