Golf Club: Wasteland

"Golf Club: Wasteland is a masterpiece in the art of telling a big story in a tiny game. Ruins of our Earth, devastated by climate change, speak to the player through the music and the chats of the great Radio …"

"Golf Club: Wasteland is a good game but not because of the quality of its actual golfing experience. Putting balls into holes is serviceable. There are some well-designed levels but there are also some frustrating ones. Don’t feel any guilt …"

"A short but narratively brilliant title. An excuse to immerse ourselves in a walk full of nostalgia under a dystopian future. An ideal game for those looking for something different."

"Golf Club: Wasteland is a super stylish puzzle-golf game which works better as an interactive drama than a golf game. The shooting system is shallow and brings into the experience too much "trial and error", but the atmosphere, the radio …"

"There’s no shortage of story in this golf adventure around a post-apocalyptic wasteland."

"A golfing social commentary is undoubtedly a first for me, but what Demagog Studio has achieved on their first game is commendable, and I can&s;t wait to see what the studio do next."

"Ultimately, the main impression we&s;ve taken away from Golf Club: Wasteland is that it&s;s an alright golf game on its own, but it&s;s really not about the golf. You&s;ll want to settle in with a nice pair of headphones when …"

"Golf Club Wasteland feels like a casual golf game meets a walking simulator. Story mode is a relatively Zen-like trip round if you prefer or you can choose to up the challenge if you fancy. Then there’s that memorable radio …"

"The mostly laid-back soundtrack and lack of NPCs lends Golf Club Wasteland a chill, lonely atmosphere, which helps to offset some of the more frustrating holes, and the short three or four hour play-time means it never has a chance …"

"A golf game for people that don&s;t like golf (though people who do like golf will likely also get a similar kick), Golf Club: Wasteland cleverly interweaves arcade style golf with deep themes and a superbly smooth soundtrack in a …"

"It&s;s worth noting that the audio is on a loop and you will eventually run out of new content from the radio station, but it&s;s an incredibly effective oral storytelling mechanic. Seeing as this is Demagog Studio&s;s first outing, I …"

"Despite a short run time and relatively straightforward golf mechanics, Golf Club Wasteland wows with its world, vibrant graphical direction and amusingly sarcastic and critical story notes. I haven’t played anything quite like it this year, but I’m absolutely thrilled …"

"To add a slight downer on proceedings, neon signs adorning crumbling buildings and barren hills in the background rubbed us the wrong way. To be clear, Golf Club Wasteland isn’t a game for children thanks to the colourful language featured …"

"Golf Club: Wasteland is a golf game that will appeal to more than just golfers. With its range of difficulty modes it caters to all skill levels, allowing it to be something to chill out with, or something to really …"
