THE STEELSERIES ARCTIS 1 WIRELESS HEADSET IS COMPATIBLE WITH THE NINTENDO SWITCH, PS4, PC & ANDROID.

The launch of Apple Arcade introduced a lot of gamers to a bunch of fantastic experiences for iOS. The most memorable for the Press Start team was certainly What The Golf, a sharp-witted and hilarious golfing game that flipped the genre on its ear even more so than Dangerous Golf, inserting a lot of clever nods to pop and gaming culture.

Its explosive, insanely fun and very addictive. Its ideal for those happy to chip away at it on the go for short trips, though were sure theres just as many whove made it a fairway through the game in a single sitting. Were not sure what drives the developers to take such creative risks like this and if the question was ever which game in 2019 provided the most mindless fun then this game would have to be nearest to pin.

Though the team didnt review What The Golf, Press Starts own Jake Barros featured the game in an episode of his Arcade Today channel.

Press Start Australia didnt publish a review for What The Golf though it holds a score of 79 on Metacritic.

Steven said: An absolute standout of the Apple Arcade lineup, and mobile gaming in general. Endlessly surprising, What The Golf played with the inputs of a mobile device in delightfully unexpected ways and kept me guessing until the very last moment.

Brodie said: What The Golf was one of the few games at launch that made Apple Arcade worthy of the asking price. Ive never been much of a mobile gamer, but What The Golf captured many of the things that made other wonderful puzzle games like Portal so fun and memorable. A satisfying, addictive core loop along with its self-awareness and the way it manages to be self-referential with regards to the industry its in only adds to the charm.

Shannon said: When Apple Arcade launched, it reminded me of what I absolutely adore about mobile games (when done correctly). What The Golf ate up every free second of my day for at least 3-4 days when it launched. It was fast-paced, insanely clever and very addictive and Im still surprised that such a simple concept could work so well in a crowded library of games.

For our #9 spot, we send congratulations to Triband. Along with a spot in our top ten, a nomination for Best Mobile Game at The Game Awards is something to be proud of.
