Nice golf game!
The achievements can be pain, because you can't repeat each level, but you have to repeat the whole chapter / set of a lot of holes for something you can only do on one specific level.
I wanna talk about the human-criticising elements in this otherwise kids-friendly presentation. The game shows animal life room being cut down, animals captured behind bars, animals doing circus shows, animals' extinction and humans standing in a circle in a church holding up candles like a cult while animal balloons rise up like they are sad that they caused their extinction. Further human scientists firing a rocket with atom fusion technology exploding into the nuclear mushroom shape. Humans swimming in their own brown soup of thrown away material stuff polluting the environment. And a human in front of a big group of followers promising salvation from our undoings by flying up into space.
To me it seems that the game wants to say, that humans are doing a lot of bad things which damage our surroundings and that we should change our behaviour. While I agree, I think that this does not belong into a game with kids-friendly presentation as it might disturb people which came for easy fun and don't want to get ethical, moral or political in their leisure time.
Recommended for golf enthusiasts which don't mind human-criticizing presentation.

I must say that when I discovered a sequel to one of my most beloved childhood game I had to buy it. It really was a refreshing and nostalgic experience. The only thing that I would love to see is the ability to play the original game too. (The original is only available on various online sites. It would be really nice to see a version that can be played as a standalone game or extension to this one.)

A cute, charming little golf game with absolutely phenomenal art and a really nice soundtrack.
Unfortunately, the problem is just that there's not that much of it. 3 courses with 18 holes each and 4 100-hole "tours" that both look and play like Test Levels meant to try out things for more courses. Another 2 or 3 18 hole courses at the quality of the 3 we have so far, and I think this would be a lot more fun.
There's also the issue of just how much perfection the game demands from you. I know it's a game about lining up perfect shots, but in a game with no quick retry functions, it severely hampers the joy of getting the best score when one mistake means I have to play the whole course again, an issue made even worse by the Relic Mode's almost sadistic rules of taking energy for extra shots and demanding almost perfect bank shots to get all of the DNA.
Overall, as much as I like Wonderputt Forever, it's a game that sometimes feels like it's an art piece rather than a golf game. A beautiful, interesting and well-made art piece, but still an art piece. Despite its flaws, I still really like it, and recommend that anyone with an interest in games as an art form at least try to pick it up during a sale. But just be wary that this game is a treat for the eyes, and not necessarily for the scorecard.

A sequel to a beloved game I've played in the past, in a new incredible and wacky world for us to uncover!
Overall, I very much enjoyed this game, and would definitely recommend this to anyone who is looking for a visually appealing, laid-back experience.
First, I'd like to go over some of my issues I've come across throughout playing this game, one of which many people seem to notice immediately: the game is locked at 30 frames per second. While it is true that it makes the game feel less smooth, in my opinion, the game is still very much enjoyable with the content it offers, with 30FPS not ruining the entire experience for me.
With that out of the way, some people might get frustrated with shooting the ball. On some holes, you may find a sense of scale or depth to be misleading, causing you to miss your shot. This is important for some achievements, like the age of escape's hole 15 one, where you have to score without falling off. What i found most helpful to solve this, was to aim it just a bit more left, or upwards, depending on where I'm aiming. Very rarely, you are able to clip out of bounds, due to how the levels/layers work, hell I've even managed to land on top of one of trip 4's hedge thingies, which made me have to reset the hole. Speaking of trips (challenge-like series of holes with optional modifiers that change up the holes), the par modifier is very challenging, in a bad way. Usually, you think, oh, I'll just do it on trip 1, the easy one, and then you end up stuck at hole 86, which is possible, then run into hole 90, which just requires a pretty precise shot, most of which I would say no casual player could solve. From what I know, they were intended to be smooth and easy, but somehow got approved as these difficult ones despite being passed by testers. There are a few achievements that are also difficult, but if you're dedicated, I would say all of them are reasonably difficult! Due to a lack of a hole selection feature, if you fail once, you have to start all the way over from the beginning of the entire age (as in the entire level, to get to a specific hole to get a chance at making it).
With all the bad I could think of for now, it's really not that bad. Sure, they are flaws, but the game is still wonderful, which I'm going to talk about in this part, starting with: the hole design. I mean, see for yourself! You have a trailer demonstrating some portions, but man, there is still so much "awesome" to be seen! I can't tell you how much i love this game. At some point, you also unlock DNA mode, which unlocks the old color thingies, as a new cool different way to play the game! It also enables you to decorate your entire world with various creatures and gizmos, which I find super neat! For later in the game, you may find yourself playing trips! I really love the added variations each modifier adds to all the levels! Like with the roguelite ball making everything more deadly, or the explosive one adding new safe landing spots and such! Or just even all the trips in general with how they are all unique with features, while somehow still being simply cool!
Speaking of cool, there are zero loading times! Everything works together perfectly! I love this game! (Did I say that already?) The soundtrack, the sounds, the visuals, the mechanics, the hole design, the silly, everything!
Here's another compressed overview:
Overall, I give this a 9/10, it's not perfect, and it doesn't have to be. To me, it's still an incredibly wonderful piece of art, that anyone should consider taking an enjoyable look at. I'm not sure if an update was coming any time soon, however, I've found that the developer does seem to respond in forums!
I've run out of things to say... um... much love!
