Combat is fairly mundane, though on the harder difficulties you’ll need to utilize your block (left trigger) to survive. There are also some platforming sections. This is where the game stumbles as jumping is too loose and imprecise, particularly when landing on an object floating in liquid. I shudder to think how many times I landed on a box only to abruptly tumble to my death.

Nearly all the in-game action is controlled with the left analog stick (you do have the option to transfer it to the right stick) as you push down to start your swing and up to follow through. The amount of power is dependent on how far and long you pull it back, while the flight of the ball is affected by how straight you keep the stick. It sounds basic, but it takes a while to get the hang of, particularly when it’s time to knock down putts from further than a few feet. Setting up your shots is done with a combination of the bumpers, triggers, analog sticks and d-pad all playing a part.
