The golfing world is about to get a whole lot tougher – and a lot more realistic – with the release of 'Normal Golf Game', a new title that's ditched the easy mode in favour of a brutal, sweat-inducing challenge. This isn't your average golf sim; no, this game is for those who want to immerse themselves in the frustrations and agonies of real-life golf.
Gone are the days of simplistic controls and guaranteed birdies – 'Normal Golf Game' demands intense focus and finger dexterity as players must master the intricate art of manipulating their golfer's arms with a mouse while simultaneously tweaking stance, club face angle, and swing power using keyboard keys. It's a delicate dance that will have even the most seasoned gamers breaking out in a cold sweat – and success rates are depressingly low at just 10%.
The Steam demo is already putting players through their paces, with hours spent lining up shots only to see them sail into the drink or careen off in completely the wrong direction. It's an experience more akin to real-life golfing than any video game – and that's exactly what Luke Muscat, the developer behind this brain-twister, is aiming for.
But don't expect to be left hanging – 'Normal Golf Game' still packs a few laughs into its punishing gameplay. Hidden gongs to smash, signs to destroy, and gargantuan toilets to aim at (yes, really) all provide a welcome respite from the agony of watching your carefully crafted shot veer off course.
It's not for everyone, but for those who crave an authentic golfing experience – even if it kills them – 'Normal Golf Game' is set to become the go-to title. Just be sure you've got a few aspirin handy before sinking your teeth into this challenging new release.
