Golf Odyssey 2 for Android

Amazing game for chillin can waitin or just for fun

When I first installed Golf Odyssey 2, I found myself really enjoying it. Initially it seemed like there was a good balance between challenge and reward. As you try courses, you earn gold which can be used to upgrade your power. Having a hard time with certain holes? Maybe giving yourself more powers will make things easier. It was a good push and pull… And then I progressed to harder courses, and this tension become opposition. The problem with this system is the game can become too unbalanced. If you’re really struggling with a course, meaning you’re stockpiling a bunch of gold, and you keep upgrading your player to display more power, now all of a sudden it gets way too hard to fine tune your shot to have just the right amount of power. A good example of this is found in Hole 4 of the ‘Veteran’ course. I was able to consistently make this shot at full power by bouncing it off the middle island, over the peak of the next one, and down close to the hole for an easy albatross. Then I upgraded my player because I had earned enough gold. Now my full power shot sends me into the water, and trying to add slightly less power becomes an issue because an micro movement has way too much impact on the shot, making it practically impossible to consistently fine tune my shot. The smallest difference means the ball doesn’t go far enough and bounces into the water. This creates a frustrating experience for the player that eventually punishes them for leveling up their player too quickly too early, and with no way to adjust your power level after you’ve upgraded sours the experience. One other thing I noticed that I think may be more of a bug than anything else is occasionally the corners around the holes on the courses occasionally have a slight bump to them that causes the ball sometimes to bounce over the hole rather than roll in. I have tried to reproduce this consistently and have been unable to find what causes is sometimes rather than others. This can also be frustrating because you have a shot that should be a hole in one, but due to the bug the ball bounces over the hole and messes things up. Golf Odyssey 2 is a fun game, and despite these frustrations I still find myself playing it, because it does feel rewarding after you complete a course that was giving you challenge. But my expressed frustrations definitely make it harder and harder to go back to as time goes on.

This game is great for relaxing and keeping busy. Honestly really glad I downloaded it.

Simple and swift 👌
