EVERYBODY'S GOLF HOT SHOTS Nintendo Switch Review

When I first tried Everybody's Golf: Hot Shots on Nintendo Switch, my expectation was that this golf game would be relaxing and easy, but the controls turned out to be quite a headache the first time I tried it. The “three-click swing” system where we click to start swinging the golf club, click again for power, and one last click for accuracy, was not that easy.

If the swing and click are not right, the ball will often miss. Instead of jumping far, it only moves a few centimeters, and even worse if the ball goes into the bunker or out of bounds. Annoyed? So annoyed! But, after playing a few times and starting to understand timing I enjoy swinging the golf club even more. There is a sense of satisfaction every time I manage to get a “perfect shot” and beat my opponent.

Well, in review In this EVERYBODY'S GOLF HOT SHOTS, I'll tell you about my experience playing fun games on the Nintendo Switch, from gameplay, visuals, sound, to story. Let's talk about it one by one!
