After 4 years in early entry, Golf With Your Friends lastly launched in full final night time. Blacklight Interactive’s membership ’em up affords loopy golf for as much as twelve gamers, on zany programs stuffed with jumps, rolling logs, spinny issues, hostile cephalopods, bounce pads, and bombings. It’s fairly foolish, and a game I’ve identified loads of people to have a ball with. Now it’s formally out, with the model 1.zero launch replace including a brand new course set inside an Escapists jail.
Golf With Your Friends is, y’know, loopy golf inside a pc. That means programs can do silly issues unattainable or unsafe in your native course. You can play solo nevertheless it clearly is meant for multiplayer, with on-line and sizzling seat choices. It additionally has a stage editor with Steam Workshop support.
