  A truly amazing VR minigolf experience!

  Played a set with a friend in the 2 player mode by swapping the headset between us. Reminded me of real minigolf, but it's so much better. For instance: -I can stand on air, it's terrifying and feels so wrong, but I can do it -When my ball flies into the pond I'm not out $10 on hole 2 because I can't putt for crap. -I can make my ball shoot out of cannons Unfortunately it's still close enough to reality. It still takes ten putts to get it in the hole once you're right next to it because you keep hitting it just to the side of the hole.

  Cloudlands: VR Minigolf is a game that I bought excited about a multiplayer game that you just pass the HMD to the next person. That is not in the game yet but will be coming with a future update. I still enjoyed the game although I don’t really have the patience for it and some of the holes are frustrating. [b]Pros:[/b] [list] [*]After hitting the ball you can press the trigger button and instantly warp to your balls current location. This is perfect and necessary for a game like this. [*]Controls felt good, after a couple test swings I felt like I knew exactly how hard I need to hit it. The haptics on the controller were spot on as well. [*]Good course design. I personally like the simple wholes like you would find at an actual minigolf place but if you are a fan of wacky and difficult this game will cater to you as well. [*]Graphics are well done. [/list] [b]Cons:[/b] [list] [*]Frustrating at times, I played hole that had a Par of 42??? It was fun for maybe the first 5 or 6 hits then it was just annoying and I was swinging like a madman trying to finish it. It may be I don’t have the patience for it, I am sure some people will love it. [*]No spectator mode: If you have people that are trying to watch your game on the TV/Monitor it will only show what the person playing is looking at so it ends up being really shakey and not enjoyable to watch. I am not sure how they could fix this maybe incorporate a 3rd person spectator mode. [/list] [b]TLDR:[/b] The game is fun don’t get me wrong. I recommend it on a sale, but personally I only like about half of the holes. The simple ones are a lot of fun but holes that are just crazy and have par 42 were not enjoyable and made me lose my patience. There is not a whole lot of content as of writing this review but I hope with future updates and free DLC more content and courses are added. I think if the Devs made the courses more like 3D Ultra Minigolf it would be fantastic, I think it would be cool to have multiplayer where you could use powerups and such it would make it an insane party game.

  Short time playing it so far. I find that the vive has a lot of trouble with making you stare at your feet, which is core to the idea of playing golf. Courses seemed fun, although many are much much longer than necessary. Physics feel pretty good, but they need to loosen up the hole a bit as it is particularly frustrating compared to the rest of the course which is moderately forgiving. The game is fun, but not well tuned to the headset and the price feels high relative to the experience. I'd suggest the demo.

  Needs optimisation as it had some stuttering that i haven't had on any other vr game so far. Also actually getting the club to hit the ball requires some finesse as you can easily end up ghosting right through it. Also the physics are bugged, with the ball reliably bouncing backwards away off a gentle slope. Not the best vr game out there, needs work, but at its core it's still fun. the bugs just push it toward the edge of frustration. Still did all 18 holes. You'd be better served going to play it in real life. That said, i'm sure there'll be updates and fixes.

  It's fun, but it will be a lot better once multiplayer in implemented.

  This is one of the games I was most excited to play when I first purchased my Vive. Unfortunately, after purchasing 20 other games, this is one of the games I rarely play. The course and putter look great in the hand but the game play is difficult and repetitive. On a real mini putt, I can generally get par. On this course, I am usually 10 over par or more on each hole. Hopefully they will prepare additional courses (or a sequel) that will be a little bit more polished and play more realistically. Overall, quite disappointed in this game.

  This game has some bugs to work out. The scenery can't be beat, but the multiplayer is EXTREMELY frustruating with one headset. Also the really tough levels with Par 40 can be fun the first time but are not okay for multiplayer. The music is awful, just the same three notes repeated incessantly. Fortunately you can turn this off. I would suggest making the multiplayer do one player at a time for the whole course and the multiplayer course only par 5 and below. A lot of potenital but not there yet.

  Cloudlands is a game where all you really have to ask yourself is whether or not you like minigolf. The motion controls are pretty much perfect, and this is probably the closest you can get to actual minigolf without leaving your room. The courses are another matter entirely; some of them are pretty standard, like the usual 3 or 4 par traditional courses you'd see on a real mingolf course, but some of them are enormous sprawling 40+ par courses filled with ball cannons. rotating obstacles, half-pipe curves, and more that are really fun to play with a friend. It has both online and local multiplayer, with the local play involving each player playing the course and then passing the headset to the next player. It may not be the most exciting game on the Vive, but if you've got friends who are up for some minigolf you can get a pretty good time out of this.
