Off The Chains Disc Golf

Hi, I have been playing this with a friend for many hours now. Since the early beta version, which had quite a few bugs, nowadays this is running stable and it brings quite fun to play this with friends. This has become one of my favourite multiplayer games for VR!

I have given it a fair shot, and maybe will even continue trying to play a bit in the future, but for now it just doesn't really feel like a great vr disk golf game. If you are a left handed player, just forget it. The flight physics are totally against the left handed throw, and nearly all the holes dogleg to the left, and/or have big trees to the left. As a lefty disc golfer, i have gotten used to arcing the disc high on the throw to get it to go far to the left, but with this game, inevitably the disc corrects, levels out and grounds to the right, as it would for a right handed throw.... they need to work on their physics. The scenes are ok, but could be better, with a little wind blowing some leaves around, or a wildlife here are there. The hole setup, besides the above mentioned right handed-ness, is unimaginative, and lack the vistas that would make a truely great experience, and make me "feel" the course. There are some spectacle holes that feel good to look down the hill from.

First of all, let me say that I haven't ever played disc golf in real life. So I cannot tell you if physics is matching exactly the real world experience or if it feel "like the real thing". What I can say, however, that it is a nice and fun game that I am enjoying a lot. There is a helpful short tutorial for disc golf dummies like me and then you go and try your best on the first course. More courses become available once you finish the first one. Graphics is certainly not exceptional but nice enough that you feel like being outside on a disc golf track. I am a graphics enthusiast and only kind of happy with the best of the best. So I'd love to have more detailed and more realistic graphics but at the same time it is certainly good enough that it serves the purpose and you feel fine on the track. After a steep learning curve I slowly start to understand a bit what matters when throwing that disc and what influences the distance and flight behavior. Physics behavior seems to be consistent to me, i.e. when the shot is bad then I feel also that it was my fault and when I did the basics right, then the disc seems to consistently do what I would expect it to do from what I learned so far. So I have the motivation to play more, get better and to enjoy the tracks. I have a lot of fun with this game so far and can absolutely recommend it. It offers an enjoyable performance at a reasonable price and when you like VR sports games like golf, tennis, table tennis, etc. then you're probably also going to enjoy this one.
