60 of 106 · most liked firsta little golf journey is a gorgeous tranquil puzzle adventure with a golf theme and some narrative. there's a quick tutorial, but no surprises about the premise: you're trying to penetrate holes with your ball. the overworld consists of 9 courses with a dozen or more holes each, both unlocked one by one for the most part. it's not all green and foresty, there's a moonlit garden, desert at sunset, winter forest, windy beach, and so on, and as you progress, the landscape comes to life with…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's a golf game, I suck at it and don't understand the appeal of golfing in general. However, from the little I played, it seems pretty cool so thumbs up for that 👍
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Let me go cry on my bed after finally hundo-ing this game :') This is a golf-like game and I enjoy it despite its difficulty.. :') In order for us to get all achievements, we have to use limited number of strokes to get the ball into the goal, thankfully there is a very helpful guide for us to refer to Also, there are litte 'secrets' we have to uncover e.g. cube challenge / wisp / hitting shaking objects to unlock other stages/path/ blue things (Also, a great guide we can refer to on the…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A Little Golf Journey might be selling the actual game short as far as game titles are concerned; it’s a pretty meaty game if you decide to do and collect everything you can. Now, the story on the other hand is indeed simple. All of it is told through little notes that are shown on your screen as you progress throughout the world, or by unlocking secrets. You won’t see any characters; just an overworld, the golf ball and the courses themselves. A golf game doesn’t really need a story anyway,…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →My nomination here (yes, as a golf game player, but you don't have to be my kind of sicko for it to hit!): A Little Golf Journey, a golf game with a wealth of secrets and hidden challenges to find. I'd term it "Golf, for people who liked Super Mario World." store.steampowered.com/app/1232150/...
unlabelledView post →There are not enough good golf games on Steam. This one though, is one of the gems. It's relaxing, the low-poly graphics are nice to look at, and the music is chill. It can be quite challenging though, if you want it to be.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →So far I've played A Little Golf Journey for 1.3 hours. I have to say, I REALLY am enjoying it; more than I thought I would. Normally, given a choice between keyboard/mouse and controller, I will choose keyboard/mouse. But I'm really liking how the controller works for this game. Even with my shaky hands/fingers I'm having no problems. The game itself is quite clever. You have to use a little strategy and pre-planning if you want to get the best results. But you don't have to think TOO hard,…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →My Experience I picked this up after seeing it at the top of Dohi64's "Best Puzzle Games of 2021" list. I often read his posts on Reddit, and he seems to play a lot of games. After playing and loving Golf Story in 2021 (I didn't get a Switch until well after release), I thought I might be in the headspace to appreciate what A Little Golf Journey had to offer. I had fun looking for ways to unlock some of the many secret holes within each course. I remember unlocking one by placing my shot…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I was excited to pick up A Little Golf Journey but ended up returning it after 45 minutes. Ultimately, it wasn't fun. It's a neat concept and a cute little design but it didn't feel like a game. Maybe it gets more interesting as you progress, but I wasn't confident it was going to be worth spending the time finding out. OVERALL GAMEPLAY On each level, you shoot the ball across a 3D map into a hole. The GUI lets you know how many strokes you need to shoot under for a full three stars. If you're…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →THIS GAME IS SUPPOSED TO BE A GOLF GAME BUT THE ONLY THING THAT RESEMBLES GOLF IS THE LOOK OF THE HOLES. -THERE'S NO SET OF GOLF CLUBS -THERE 'S NO WIND DIRECETION AND SPEED -THERE'S NO PAR FOR EACH HOLE -THE'S NO SUBTRACTING POINTS FOR FOR EAGLES AND BIRDIES -THERE'S NO GANING A POINT OR MORE FOR BOGEY OR WORSE -THERS NO SPECIFIC HOLE LENGH FOR EACH HOLE -THERE'S NO GAUGE FOR FOR SWING POWER -THERES NO AI CHARACTERS TO PLAY AGAINST -THERE'S NO TOURNEMENTS -THE HOLES ARE THE LENGTH OF EXTRA…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It lacks something to make it fun. It feels unrewarding, dull, and slow.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Overall verdict: A Little Golf Journey is too long and contains too much filler, incl. superfluous "blue thing" collectables. There would be a good game in here if the devs had cut 50% of playtime and a third of the levels in exchange for further polish on the remainder. But as is, I regretted playing the game. 14h is a lot of lifetime spent on something I mostly experienced moment-to-moment as a vague sense of existential dread. If you *do* decide to play this game, turn on Assist mode from…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Can I downvote this game? That's what I was asking myself when I was writing this review. Ultimately the answer is "no", but I will caution that this game has a few aspects that really rub me the wrong way. In short, the game just overstays its welcome in nearly every aspect. I understand that it's a small team, and they wanted to maximize their investment, but sometimes less is more. Each world introduces a new aesthetic, and SOMETIMES adds a new mechanic (e.g. wind) that makes the levels…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Charming casual golf game with beautiful graphics. You have to try to get the golf ball in the holl in as little hits as possible. This requires a lot of trial and error, which is fine at first, but becomes frustrating after a while because of the aiming system. The exact position where your ball will land constantly rotates, making it extremely hard to predict the course of the ball after it hits the ground. There's also a lack of new gameplay elements throughout the game, only the…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A Little Golf Journey - The ultimate put-put golfing experience with the most beautiful scenes! I honestly loved my time playing this game. Although it was tricky finding and hunting all the hidden items on the maps, the design of the world, the challenge to get hole in ones or birdie without any assistance or guides, were great! Loved the sound, music and aesthetic of the game. It just added a ton to the ambience of the game. Highly recommend if you like slow paced golfing with a…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is advertised as working with Tilt Five. In my experience, it does not work at all with my Tilt Five. I bought on a sale before I received my Tilt Five in hopes it would be a good game for this device. If I could ask for a refund, I would, but I believe the time has passed where I've owned it for too long and never really got to try it. I couldn't tell you if it's a good game, because it simply does not work. Whenever I try to launch the game, it displays in the Tilt Five but I'm not…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →perfect steam deck game
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Don't know why people say this game is relaxing, they must not have gotten all of the stars/blue things

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Edit: I've had more time to play this game and I wanted to expand on my review. Little Golf Journey is AWESOME!! The overall vibe from this game is just the best. It's a joy to play. The game is so much fun to play and the graphics, story and soundtrack just serve to enhance the experience. I've sunk half a dozen hours into this so far and its not an exaggeration to say I've enjoyed every second. The secrets are really well done. Hidden just enough to make it fun to find them and then…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Alright game if you just want to get the ball in the hole. But getting full stars on some holes can be so tedious and annoying.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very fun and different golf game. The secrets are a hoot to search for and complete their challenges. The difficulty scaling is nicely done, completing a hole is easy enough but the challenge comes from the hidden stuff and going the extra mile if you wanna earn all stars
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Such a lovely game! Beautiful graphics, simple-yet-deep mechanics, wonderful level design and charming presentation make this a totally fresh way to relax with spot of light golf. I couldn't put it down!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Relaxing(?) Golf A Little Golf journey is a simple golfing game where almost everything you do is controlled by the mouse. You don't pick which club to use, and you don't have control over spin, you can only control direction and power, and both of these are directly related to how you move your mouse after clicking on the ball. You can only swing as far as the ground you're on will let you, and the worse terrain you're on, the shorter your shot will be, and the wider your shot can wander…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →TLDR; An awesome and beautiful mix of the puzzle and golf genre that challenges you throughout. Completionists: Turn on Undo in the Assist menu or you’ll hate it. I’m loving this game. It’s reminiscent of Mario 64 because of the overworld map and star requirement for unlocking the next set of levels. Each world has a theme and so do the levels themselves. They remind me of mini golf courses and are very beautiful. After you finish each level, the overworld fills in with colors like you’re…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fun zen game that I'm never going to get to the end of because the final level is too damn long
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fun puzzle golf game. Interesting challenges to figure out how to complete the hole in required number of strokes to earn all of the stars, and to find the hidden items. Relaxing...until the final level which is a long sequence of timed shots. I enjoyed it -- except for the last level. ;)
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I was ready to praise this game, I was ready to call it a hidden gem, I was ready to call it my favorite golf game of all time. However after a fantastic start the game kinda falls off in the middle. I still really like this game but it does have some problems. The game is very simple, you click and drag to shoot on top of that you can reverse your camera and do a focus shot. Your shot indicator moves in an ∞ motion and it is often required to shoot at the very edge of the indicator to gain…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great game! More challenging than it looks, even with assist mode on. Absolutely chill and addicting puzzle game.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is a *fantastic* golf game, and a wonderful game in general. Phenomenal work. If I could give it fifteen thumbs up, I would.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A cute little golf game for those looking to relax and enjoy the vibes. Until you try to go for all the stars. Then it becomes a bit of a challenge.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Think of it less as a golf game, and more of a puzzle game. I was really looking forward to this game, and it was a short but fun experience.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →So 'A Little Golf Journey' is a really great game. It's a chill game even though you may not be a big Golf fan like I am this is a really easy game to play and doesn't require much effort so it's a nice game to play here and there and to relax. You can maybe also listen to music or listen to a podcast or whatever you like while playing this. I completed the game 100% just now and even though I liked it for the most part there are these white blocks that are pretty hard to see and reveal…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fun little golf game to play when in a mini golf mood. Fun secrets and puzzles to solve.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fun little game with pretty graphics. Lots of secrets to find and the music is nice and relaxing. Looking forward to seeing what the other courses are like.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very beautiful and relaxing golf game.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A very calming and fun golf game. Great physics, soothing music. Frustration level relatively minimal thanks to instant unlimited retries. Gets fun and weird toward the end.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I know most people will think of the Mario Golf series, which is great fun! But there's a really chill game called A Little Golf Journey that's worth checking out! Oh, and Golf Story is quite amusing as well. 🏌️♀️
unlabelledView post →An adorable game for lovers of Golf, and anyone looking for a deceptively simple puzzle game with a compelling path to success.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →as a puzzle game is not very deep and feels slightly repetitive but it's very polished, has many different "biomes", good graphics, chill background music, many secrets to explore and challenges plus it's very cheap and works perfectly on a steam deck
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Boring and buggy. Only good thing about the game is some of the art.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Golf in a miniature world which is surprisingly enjoyable. I had actually never heard of this game before, until I stumbled over it as a choice in a bundle. Graphics are good, it's a combination of simplistic and complex texture with nice lighting effects, beautiful water reflections and cozy atmosphere. The piano music is nice and relaxing, but not quite my style. There's plenty of holes to play, even if some of them may be a bit too similar. Each of the 10 courses takes place in their own…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →bit difficult to 100% but you can use assist mode (which I highly recommend) that has a number of options that are extremely helpful. If you're just looking to put balls in holes and relax, it's not needed and not recommended but if going for 100% it's pretty much necessary since it would be nearly impossible, imo, without it given the level of difficulty.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Unequivocally one of the comfiest games I've played all year, if not ever.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Intro A puzzle golf game that is harder than normal golf game, but it's accompanied by relaxing music, so its an additional challenge What I like about the game - Beautiful Art - Amazing music - Challenging puzzle - Interest challenges within the courses - constant new element introduced per new arae What I don't like about the game - steep learning curve when you jump from easy max stars to the next level max stars where almost all shots require to chip in in order to get max…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great Golf Game!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Highly Recommend
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game has an amazing art style and the music is super relaxing.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If you want a relaxing and challenging golf adventure, you should definitely give this game a chance, I am absolutely awful at it but i enjoyed the time i spent with it.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game is fun. But I would say wait until it is on sale. Puzzle games are fun when the puzzle is just challenging enough that when you get it you think "urethra!" and then you win the level. I would say the fatal flaw for this game is that after that "urethra!" moment, you have to sit there and keep doing the ♥♥♥♥♥♥ puzzle over and over until the ball bounces just right on all the shots. Other than that I'd say it's a 7/10.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's an alright little golf puzzle game. The vibes are relaxing. Great melatonin game for winding down. The game does have a habit of making you grind for more stars and secret collectables in order to progress which gets in the games own way.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →at first it looks a good relaxing game, with a lot of challenges on courses, to get full stars you have the precise shots, which can be challenging but fun, would have given this a thumbs up. Potential to be a top game if not for the ridiculous timer puzzles on some courses, which completely ruins the game, therefore game uninstalled.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very chill and ambient golf game. Lovely environments and very relaxing soundtrack. I'm just coming through the second "course", but there are winding paths and secret skill shots to find and conquer.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Really enjoyable game. It's the type of game where you'll know if it's for you just from watching the trailer (as they say, it's a physics based puzzler full of secrets moreso than a golf game). I'm 9 hours in, have loved every moment (especially the tougher holes that require a bit of theory work and timing ability to get the max stars). Also while it's cool they have accessability options, I think the default settings are fine-tuned well to offer a great experience (challenging without…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A really enjoyable take on golf with a puzzle flavor. Game has a ton of courses to complete and a great visual style. Hunting through the levels for the secrets was a real treat. I did pass on level 9-13. I just didn't feel like it was fun repeating those shots over and over trying to get the timing down. However, that was one bad level out of dozens of great ones and it is a high challenge for those that enjoy that. I would love to see more games like this.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I understand "comfy" and "cozy" are cliche buzzwords in the present gaming environment, but this game is just plain pleasant the whole way around. Just some fast, simple golf (actual golf, not just putt-putt), on the most adorable little diorama courses (with a tilt-shift blurring effect to make them look tiny), sublime lighting and environmental effects to sell them as being physical places. You could easily just duff your way to the finish, but if you want to score well, it's a game that…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Has made me ludicrously relaxed.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Super fun, unique and intuitive golf game with many secrets and challenges! Hidden gem (or blue thing 😉)! Great on Steam Deck!
