  • It offers a unique blend of chaotic fun reminiscent of Burnout's crash mode, making it enjoyable for players who love destruction.
  • The graphics are visually appealing, showcasing detailed environments and impressive effects.
  • The game requires a controller for play, with no keyboard and mouse support, limiting accessibility for some players.
  • An unskippable tutorial video is excessively long and frustrating, detracting from the overall experience.
  • The gameplay can feel repetitive and lacks depth, with limited control over the ball and a simplistic scoring system.
  • graphics
    52 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game receive mixed reviews, with many praising their stunning quality and polish, particularly in terms of visual effects and detail. However, some users report occasional graphical glitches and performance issues, especially on certain hardware configurations. Overall, while the visuals are often described as impressive, they are sometimes overshadowed by gameplay concerns and technical problems.

    • “One thing I have to say about this game is that the graphics are immaculate and the developers should be applauded for that.”
    • “Graphically the game looks stunning.”
    • “Together with the nicely rendered, super detailed graphics, the clear cut game concept and some inventive level design, this is one of the most fun gaming experiences I've had this year (so far).”
    • “I change the graphics settings slower just to see if my computer is too fast to run this game... I can't slow it down much more without it looking like shit.”
    • “The graphics are meh due to the rendering system like in Battlefield 1, but it's more so about the physics.”
    • “The game is buggy and the graphics aren't great.”
  • gameplay
    52 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay has received mixed reviews, with many players criticizing its convoluted mechanics, lack of clear objectives, and frustrating controls, leading to a sense of randomness and boredom. While some appreciate the graphics and the potential for fun in the crash mechanics, others find the gameplay shallow and repetitive, often feeling that it does not justify its price. Overall, the game struggles to balance its appealing visuals with satisfying and engaging gameplay.

    • “It's created by many of the developers that made the Burnout racing games and shares many of the design philosophies both in the UI and gameplay.”
    • “There's at least 100 different levels to destroy, a good variety of gameplay between all the levels, it looks and sounds really good, and the gameplay is top notch.”
    • “Although the game could use a quick tutorial for all the mechanics, it's a deep and overall rewarding game to play.”
    • “But in my 70 minutes of gameplay, my game crashed constantly.”
    • “The actual gameplay is not fun and slightly convoluted, and it's not really explained how it works.”
    • “Unfortunately, the gameplay feels a little too random, with no real skill or technique involved.”
  • stability
    15 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's stability is a mixed bag; while it can run smoothly at high refresh rates on powerful hardware, many players report significant bugs and glitches, particularly with physics and controls. Issues such as objects clipping through walls and inconsistent gameplay mechanics detract from the overall experience, despite some improvements noted since launch. Overall, while the graphics are praised, the persistent bugs and performance inconsistencies remain a concern for many users.

    • “Graphically, it holds up and runs great at 185Hz.”
    • “I'm happy to say that the devs fixed all the issues, and the game runs great!”
    • “The game runs great on a 980 Ti, achieving over 100 FPS at 1440p maxed out with all NVIDIA GameWorks features enabled.”
    • “Well, if only the weird controls and buggy, inconsistent physics didn't make the game unnecessarily harder.”
    • “It's buggy as hell, choppy even with a great PC and the settings turned down.”
    • “The golf ball glitches through walls, smashbreaker balls get stuck in walls, and furniture models clip with each other when you destroy them.”
  • optimization
    14 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's optimization has received overwhelmingly negative feedback, with users reporting poor performance, stuttering, and high system requirements that do not match the game's offerings. While the graphics are praised for their quality, the overall experience is marred by bugs, a lack of significant performance adjustments from settings, and a mandatory controller requirement. Many reviewers recommend waiting for performance patches or sales before purchasing.

    • “Graphics are quite nice; it's optimized for Unity standards and is quite polished.”
    • “Looks gorgeous though and runs smoothly (though not fullscreen).”
    • “Overall, until some performance patches are released, I would recommend waiting until it's fully developed or if it goes on sale.”
    • “On top of that all, performance is plain bad, and system requirements are insane for what the game actually offers.”
    • “It is a horribly optimized piece of garbage and I'd advise everyone to use your $20 elsewhere.”
    • “Really poorly optimized and literally requires a controller, not to mention an unskippable 7-minute instruction video every time you launch.”
  • music
    12 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game has received overwhelmingly negative feedback, with many users describing it as generic, abrasive, and forgettable, often rating it as low as 0/10. Critics note the lack of memorable tracks and the overall poor audio experience, which detracts from the gameplay. Overall, the soundtrack is seen as a significant weakness, failing to enhance the game's appeal.

    • “The presentation, music, and idea is perfect.”
    • “From the mechanics to the fonts to the music, I've had non-stop flashbacks to Burnout 3.”
    • “- Music is generic happy-go-lucky rock.”
    • “Soundtrack – 5/10 nothing to remember.”
    • “There is no music in dangerous driving!!!”
    • “Music: 0/10 annoying as shit!”
  • story
    7 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game lacks a traditional story mode or campaign, instead offering a variety of missions and game modes that emphasize chaos and destruction. While the gameplay is entertaining and features a humorous take on golf, the novelty of its mechanics can wear thin, leading to a sense of repetitiveness. It is best suited for casual play rather than those seeking a narrative-driven experience.

    • “Overall, a very unique game to play, with fun missions and a fair amount of content.”
    • “So the idea of this game is a good one: it has a mission... a mission to show us the mandatory changes to golf that would be required to make it an interesting sport!”
    • “But other than that, I appreciate the variety in missions; my wife enjoys co-op mode and I have yet to try the party mode.”
    • “There's no story mode or campaign, but there is a solo tour, as well as a coop tour and some other game modes.”
    • “The destruction becomes boring far too quickly for the game's length; I quit about halfway through the 6th tournament of 10 in the game's story mode because I just couldn't force myself to keep playing.”
    • “Great to play if you have a few minutes to kill and you don't want to sit down and play a plot-heavy game.”
  • replayability
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Overall, the game's replayability is mixed; while some players find it enjoyable in multiplayer settings and leaderboard challenges, many criticize it for having little to no replay value due to hidden goals and bland environments. The game's design appears to cater more to casual, mobile gaming preferences, which may limit its appeal for those seeking depth and longevity.

    • “However, it's incredibly fun and seems very replayable, especially in multiplayer mode. It feels like it's built for offline play, so if party games are your thing, I'd definitely give it a try!”
    • “Even if the rules are nonsensical, the replayability is short-lived.”
    • “More cons: full price is overinflated, replayability is zero, goals are often hidden, putt challenge is a snooze fest, game designed with too much flash to appeal to mobile gaming mentalities, music is abrasive, feels like a UE4 pet project (because it is), it takes up more hard drive space than reasonable for such a dinky game.”
    • “[Bland environments, little replay value]”
  • humor
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's humor is rooted in its chaotic physics and destruction mechanics, which create amusing scenarios that keep players entertained. The combination of clumsy gameplay and the challenge of precision adds to the hilarity, resulting in a fun experience that often leads to laughter.

    • “It sells itself on chaos and destruction - and delivers with a hilarious pairing of its physics and destruction engines.”
    • “Spent most of my playtime laughing.”
    • “The game demands immense precision from the player with heavy penalties for hitting hazards, missing the hole at the end of the level, and even for destroying the mission targets in a way you weren't supposed to.”
  • grinding
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be repetitive and tedious due to the similarity of levels, but it remains enjoyable for shorter play sessions of 15-30 minutes.

    • “The levels feel almost the same, so it can get tedious after a while, but it's still fun if you play only for 15-30 minutes.”
