I like the low tone of the reviewer, it beats the normal American delivery of overdramatically shouting into the microphone. Good review, I'll be buying this soon.
I absolutely fell in love with this game. I'm still broken up a bit thst I don't have time to review it right away. I picked it up and just could NOT put it down until I was done. I do wish there was more post-game content though - once I beat the Pro tournament there was nothing left to do. A hard mode would also be nice because this game was definitely on the easy side!
Really great game. Super charming and fun. It definitely feels like it was either rushed, or that the devs simply grew tired of the grind at some point in development, though. There was a lot of beautiful polish in the beginning of the game with little secrets here and there that focused on exploration. It just kind of went missing for the latter half of the game, though. In a potential sequel, I'd love to see that part of the game more developed, and that it finds its way throughout the whole game. There is a lot of overall potential for a sequel, to be honest, so I really hope to see it in the future.
I love this game it's expression is like none other I felt before... I also love how they took advantage of the HD rumble and how they molded it into ways I never felt in a nintendo controller before, like I don't even know how they make the controller rumble and sound like the ball is falling a cliff :O
I'd honestly say I LOVED Golf Story, it's an amazing Golf game AND an amazing RPG game, if you don't have this game yet, get it. You won't be disappointed
Everyone who says he is monotone relax he’s new at this and once he gets comfortable I’m sure he’ll sound better. I like his reviews and he had a bit more energy this time keep it up Jordan!
Um I didnt read any comments on people busting on your voice. So I dont know what people are talking about. I thought it was calming and easy to listen to. I gave you a thumbs up.
Am I the only one who finds Jordan's voice to not be monotonous? Just because it's not as widely diverse as, say, Andre's voice, doesn't mean he's absolutely not putting emphasis on key words or speaking in a manner that distracts from the content. I'd say he's about on par with Ash tone-wise, and I don't think I've seen anyone speak out against Ash's style of reviewing.
Haven't played it yet(thinking of getting it on current sale), but how could the controls be better for Disc Golf? It can't operate in relation to the screen, because the controls would switch as soon as you turn 90 degrees. It has to be relative to the disc. Edit: I guess you could control the overall direction like a character, but it isn't logical seeing as a disc cant instantly stop and walk back the opposite way.
I think the controls for aiming the normal golf arc are also strange, why does up/down change clubs, if you have directional buttons you could use for that? The left/right issue with the frisbee golf is actually the same as when you do normal aiming: right = clockwise, left = counter clockwise, not the actual direction you want the target to go.
Hope you keep improving Tom! Criticism is hard to take but i encourage you not giving up. Find a style that fits you and is good for the viewers. Great video!

If I'm looking for a review it's because I haven't played it yet. I'm sure followers of this channel know to expect spoilers but I didn't. Please warn for spoilers in description next time because I looked before watching the video
Lol, for some reason fire emblem warrior review's comments got mixed into the golf story review comments. Wow, I was misled into thinking this game wasn't as good as I thought. (Until I read "warriors" somewhere). Refreshed the page and it fixed it.
I agree with much of the review, but disagree on two points: 1. Disc golf controls are fine, they just have a bit of a learning curve, but it's not anything more than a game like Geometry Wars; it'll take 2-3 attempts to get it, but after that, the game is very simple - it's all about gauging how hard to throw and turning. 2. I felt the RPG upgrade mechanics kept the game engaging through to the end. Most RPGs aren't constantly conflict driven either, many do depend on their mechanics for large portions.
I feel like the pitch for this game was like “Remember that joke from Steven Universe where Steven plays a golf themed Final Fantasy? Well let’s make that an actual game.” But seriously, this game looks nice. I’d play it if I had a Switch.
+Smash JT I saw your review when this first came out and you made me want to buy this game. I'm glad I saw yours first because good lord this review is soo bad. You're gonna go places for sure! I love your content!!
stand about a yard away from any pro shop door and rapidly throw golf balls at it (they will get stuck behind the door and the shadow will appear on the roof)
well if i actually had any interest in golf i'd defenetly check this game out. it sounds like it would be a lot of fun. i might consider letting my dad know about it though because he is a golf FANATIC...then again i like havin my switch with me all the time
I honestly think he did much better with emoting in this video. He's definitely improving with the monotone intonation. This time around he came across less monotone and more layed back imo.
Yeah the monotone style is not the greatest. It makes the delivery of the scripted jokes fall flat.. For example, when he said "right of the bat... or club" -- could have been funny, but I didn't laugh because of the tone at delivery. He actually does get much better later on in the video tho. Reviews in this style need to be much livelier and catch/keep your attention throughout.
I was so excited for this game and for the first few hours I had a great time. I found the golf mechanics and game fun and the story was gine but once I reached the fourth area, it was feeling really slow and just not very fun. The story was really boring to me and I just wanted to play the golf part. If anyone has finished it I was wondering if it it gets better past the first part or if it just wasn't my thing.
I disagree about the controls, I'm having a hard time with aiming. I'll try to move the ball around and instead it won't move or it'll change my golf club or it'll move in the opposite direction... Anyone else agree ??
I'd give the game a 30/40 for being very good, but it can be a bit glitchy, the part of the game after the Wellworn open can be a bit confusing, the galf mini-game froze on me! and i'm struggling trying to find the vintage woods.
Yeah! I´m hoping that Mario Odissey has a spooky kingdom, too! (I haven´t watched anything since E3 this year, please no spoilers! I know there´s info about other kingdoms, but I wanne discover them myself).
Yes! I´m hoping, Mario Odissey has a spooky kingdom, too! (I know we have info about more kingdoms, but I didn´t watch anything after E3, not to spoil anything. I wanna discover all the other kingdoms myself).
Not being mean but I legit fell asleep half way through the review. I hope the reviewer has improved the way he speaks since this review and doesn't sound like a high schooler reading off their cue cards during an oral presentation. Great review but the monotone voice was just... yeesh.
People are REALLY bashing on the reviewer's voice?? It's pretty relaxing and matches the more easy-going pace of the game. I'd rather have a more relaxed voice than "SCREAMING AND TRYING WAY TO HARD TO OVERACT AND BE OUTRAGED AND OVERLY ANIMATED!!!" guy #596940032.
I like the low tone of the reviewer, it beats the normal American delivery of overdramatically shouting into the microphone.
Good review, I'll be buying this soon.
Right... cause Alex from Nintendo Life isn't loud at all...
Ed Krasnodemski haha yeah it’s pretty much most youtubers, doesn’t matter where they are from
American?? Right, because no British, Irish, or Scottish youtuber is loud and obnoxious
@@markymarkzero top of the morn.........................
BeatEmUps is annoyingly loud and he’s Australian I think?

The Golden Bolt's Game Reviews ain't nobody watching yo damn reviews
Damn, my life is meaningless now that you've told me this, default avatar Google+ account. I'll just quit my fun little hobby forever now!
The Golden Bolt hahaha keep being you, Bolt!
@@TheGoldenBolt he’s going to feel really dumb if he ever looks you back up. Lol
Golf Story has quickly become my favorite game this year, if not definitely in the top five
You call him monotone, I call him relaxing!
Good. Now, can we have "tennis story" please?
Yo, great work Jordan! I heard about you on the podcast and I'm glad you've come along for the ride!
Really great game. Super charming and fun. It definitely feels like it was either rushed, or that the devs simply grew tired of the grind at some point in development, though. There was a lot of beautiful polish in the beginning of the game with little secrets here and there that focused on exploration. It just kind of went missing for the latter half of the game, though.

I absolutely love this game to death, so happy to see it getting some coverage!!
I hope they make a Tennis Story next.
rob1610 New game is coming, its called Sports Story.
Have you seen Sports Story.They are adding tennis, baseball and other sports.
He’s a time traveler
I forgot I even MADE this comment. xD
And yes, I'm aware Sports Story is a thing and I can't wait.
rob1610 hope it doesn’t get delayed cause we haven’t heard anything in a while and it’s coming up soon
The golf commentary in this review is amazing.
man tod you improved a lot since your last review. good job!
His name isn't tod.
Nicely done, Jordan! Good to hear from a new member of the GX team.
I love this game it's expression is like none other I felt before...
I also love how they took advantage of the HD rumble and how they molded it into ways I never felt in a nintendo controller before, like I don't even know how they make the controller rumble and sound like the ball is falling a cliff :O
What attributes should you work on the most? I’ve been keeping it quite balanced.
Honestly you are probably fine with anything. I did it pretty balanced. Could probably have put a bit more on power.
I'd honestly say I LOVED Golf Story, it's an amazing Golf game AND an amazing RPG game, if you don't have this game yet, get it. You won't be disappointed
plus it's pretty cheap for being a good game
Gamergirlyoshi good question.
Golf story protagonist for smash.
Also like this reviewer.
Everyone who says he is monotone relax he’s new at this and once he gets comfortable I’m sure he’ll sound better. I like his reviews and he had a bit more energy this time keep it up Jordan!
Um I didnt read any comments on people busting on your voice. So I dont know what people are talking about. I thought it was calming and easy to listen to. I gave you a thumbs up.
Solid review, definitely think I will pick this up. Haven't played a golf game since gamecube and this looks like it has a lot of charm.
I really enjoyed this game. Purchased day 1 and I clocked about 35hrs thus far. Plan on finishing it today.
How do you have 35 hours and not have it finished?
Alex Nunes Good question! I must really suck. Lol, I was honestly surprised but my play activity definitely says 35 hours under the profile tab.
I love the lawnmower scene in this game. Caught me off guard.
Am I the only one who finds Jordan's voice to not be monotonous? Just because it's not as widely diverse as, say, Andre's voice, doesn't mean he's absolutely not putting emphasis on key words or speaking in a manner that distracts from the content.

Reminds me of mario tennis gba!!
Good review Jordan hope to see you on the podcast soon😀

Thanks for the review, and I like your voice! I find it relaxing and easy to listen to. Keep it up!
Amazing game!
This is how u do a golf game lol
idk how you get likes for being as minimalistic as possible with your comments
She's not a thot LMAO! She seems pretty knowledgeable about gaming and plays old RPGs and shit. She's cool.
One of the best I have played all year!

When I heard that title opening I was expecting my phone to shake lol
Nice review

"Oh, windmill, why must we always fight..."
This was a good review i liked his voice its really relaxing thats what kept me watching the video i dont usually watch them to the end.
On time! ;) love ya GameXplain
This game is on par with Stardew Valley!
Zack Egg no it’s not lol. Not even the same genre.
I know, I just said that to make a pun...
It kinda is, maybe even better.
An apt description ;)
Little late...I already beat it. Amazing game!!!!
Great review, good job Jordan!
This is so relaxing 😌
Lol, for some reason fire emblem warrior review's comments got mixed into the golf story review comments. Wow, I was misled into thinking this game wasn't as good as I thought. (Until I read "warriors" somewhere). Refreshed the page and it fixed it.
If I had a switch. I would ptobably buy this game considering how much I loved Mario Golf Advance Tour on the GBA.
I agree with much of the review, but disagree on two points:

Physical copies available at BestBuy!
Ok so this is the questions we all are doing, when is Tennis story coming?
I feel like the pitch for this game was like “Remember that joke from Steven Universe where Steven plays a golf themed Final Fantasy? Well let’s make that an actual game.” But seriously, this game looks nice. I’d play it if I had a Switch.
819K subs and this review. Sky's the limit for Smash JT.
+Smash JT I saw your review when this first came out and you made me want to buy this game. I'm glad I saw yours first because good lord this review is soo bad. You're gonna go places for sure! I love your content!!
Some extra courses as DLC would be nice.
Don't worry about your voice, Jordan. You'll get better at it as you keep doing it. Everyone does. Good job on the review.
Great review! Thanks :D
enjoyed this review, subbed
Everything was great besides the final course. I'm level 50 and I'm still stuck
stand about a yard away from any pro shop door and rapidly throw golf balls at it (they will get stuck behind the door and the shadow will appear on the roof)
Innovation on speech bubbles of all things? That's damn cool (among the other stuff in this game of course)
well if i actually had any interest in golf i'd defenetly check this game out. it sounds like it would be a lot of fun. i might consider letting my dad know about it though because he is a golf FANATIC...then again i like havin my switch with me all the time
The reviewer is pretty damn solid.
Nice review! 👌
Had a feeling it'd be monotone dude again, constructive criticism but try sounding peppy
Roxas is a garbage character Hey we like Tom too!
I honestly think he did much better with emoting in this video. He's definitely improving with the monotone intonation. This time around he came across less monotone and more layed back imo.
Yeah the monotone style is not the greatest. It makes the delivery of the scripted jokes fall flat..
For example, when he said "right of the bat... or club" -- could have been funny, but I didn't laugh because of the tone at delivery.
He actually does get much better later on in the video tho. Reviews in this style need to be much livelier and catch/keep your attention throughout.
but then he wouldn't be "Monotone dude" any more he'd be "peppy dude"
Or put the speed to 1.5X. Then he sounds like Andre.
This game looks awesome! Also excellent reviewer 👍🏾
I was so excited for this game and for the first few hours I had a great time. I found the golf mechanics and game fun and the story was gine but once I reached the fourth area, it was feeling really slow and just not very fun. The story was really boring to me and I just wanted to play the golf part. If anyone has finished it I was wondering if it it gets better past the first part or if it just wasn't my thing.
Welp looks like im getting golf story
I'm wishing that Yonderr is coming to switch since it's like a breath of the wild meets stardew valley game .
this game looks so fun, ima download it, my second switch game after breath of the wild
Did you enjoy it?
Good game for when you are on the go on public transport for a long time
Great review
Really good game a little buggy but lots of fun.
I couldn't finish it, because of a bug in tidy park, heard a patch is coming soon
It's on sale for $10 should I buy?
Hope you did as it’s out of stock everywhere even on Nintendo store for download!
Prices on eBay are ridiculous
I disagree about the controls, I'm having a hard time with aiming. I'll try to move the ball around and instead it won't move or it'll change my golf club or it'll move in the opposite direction... Anyone else agree ??
Tore-nament. Reminds of me how Mr. Miyagi pronounced it in Karate Kid! :)
The brown trees look like chicken drumsticks
You know what, I like Tom's voice.
This isn't Tom.
Browk Huh. Who is it then? I think some people mentioned someone called Jordan?
Gosh I hate the way some people pronounce the word "tournament". But great review.
What took y'all so long to put this review out?
I might get it.
I'd give the game a 30/40 for being very good, but it can be a bit glitchy, the part of the game after the Wellworn open can be a bit confusing, the galf mini-game froze on me! and i'm struggling trying to find the vintage woods.
So a 7.5/10. That's not too bad
Fantastic game up until Blue Moon Dunes. Why that course was green light is beyond me. Such a shame
What keeps me going is I WANT TO see that spooky Halloween area I see in the distance!
Spooky levels are always the best, no matter what game you play, aren´t they?
Benedikt Benstein you get me!
Yeah! I´m hoping that Mario Odissey has a spooky kingdom, too! (I haven´t watched anything since E3 this year, please no spoilers! I know there´s info about other kingdoms, but I wanne discover them myself).
Yes! I´m hoping, Mario Odissey has a spooky kingdom, too! (I know we have info about more kingdoms, but I didn´t watch anything after E3, not to spoil anything. I wanna discover all the other kingdoms myself).
Nice Essay.
All videogame reviews are scripted guys.
+Browk I know but as any voice over actor knows...you don't just read a script. Hell, if that was the case anybody could do it.
I loved this game
This dude's voice is the cure to insomnia.
John Mathews I had to turn it off cause I was falling asleep. Lol
Loving it. Got me hungry for a Mario Golf game!
Yes! One with a RPG-mode like the GBA-Titles would be very welcome!
Is this the game Steven was playing in that one episode?
I think Lee Carvalo’s putting challenge is better
You should probably mention the glitch that breaks the game...
All these golf puns lol
Only interested if it is Physically released. I don't want to repeat my mistakes from the Wii U ;-;
I'm pretty sure they got this game idea from Steven Universe, lol
It’s a beautiful game lots of fun
is this that guy from the egoraptor mass effect ending? i mean the ending with thr cable guy and the 5 black adopted african childrens?
As a person who really, really isn't a fan of pixel art. I can tell, just like Stardew Valley, im not gonna care here. I know I'm going to love this.
I do think it's a good game, but if you're not into golf at all, this isn't the game for you.
For monotone issue i recommend u to stop reading the script and try using bullet points to comment your point of view and explanations.
Not being mean but I legit fell asleep half way through the review. I hope the reviewer has improved the way he speaks since this review and doesn't sound like a high schooler reading off their cue cards during an oral presentation. Great review but the monotone voice was just... yeesh.
Masterpiece
Why you don't have number score in your review?
Good review, dude.
Who are all these new people we've been hearing!?
more emotion next time please. good review
People are REALLY bashing on the reviewer's voice?? It's pretty relaxing and matches the more easy-going pace of the game. I'd rather have a more relaxed voice than "SCREAMING AND TRYING WAY TO HARD TO OVERACT AND BE OUTRAGED AND OVERLY ANIMATED!!!" guy #596940032.

What do you get when you sneeze during a game of golf?
Bogey
