I bought and downloaded Infinite Minigolf on PS4 2 hours ago.
And from the outset..the game is good. BUT there are several major flaws with it that will make the player Base drop quickly if not adressed ,and that soon.
1. Since this game have more features to it (powerups) than normal Minigolf there SHOULD be a tutorial implemented.
In general VERY little is properly explained in this game. Where a minigolf game should be easy to pick up..This game has powerups..and buttons to do this and do that....making it,not just pick up and play,like most minigolf games.
2.There should defenately be a choise to play the game with or without powerups,from start. The powerups have never been the reason why Minigolf is popular from the outset. It's the simplicity of the games that makes anyone able to play it.
3. The fixed "free camera view" is a disaster. I mean. .seriously..WHO decided that having an overview with NO way of chose to have freelook at the course,was a good idea !!??
Have you guys EVER seen a Golf game where the player is restricted to a certain view/views when exploring the layout of the Golf course ???
Of course you have not.....
When you are playing Minigolf its even more important to have full freedom to look,zoom in..out and in general get a GOOD idea of obstacles and corners or other hazards that might block/alter the balls movement.
In this game you only get a kind of overview with some freedom to move the camera angle.
4. Playing online against say..7 other players is no fun at all. Everybody just hit theire ball..and of they go. It's only when you yourself reach the hole that the score of all players are shown...
No exitement or feeling of being in a competition....
The way it should have been done is..that 1 player hit he's or her ball when it stops.. Then next one does the same. Then when all players have done it..the first player hit he's ball again. That way everybody can see how they fare against the others. Making it exiting and a competition.
One have to have a say..15-20 sec time limit pr player..to have a flow in the game.
It's almost like the game have been made By people who have very little experience in making a game like this...
And ends up with a half-baked game that have the basics but too many issues to realy be easy to pick up and fun.
Why these issues was not sorted out be game testing is a mystery to me.
And should,after reading my post be that to you too.
I hope my post wil be of help to better this game and it needs to be done QUICK..or this game is gonna be deserted online and forgotten by PS4 users...
