Sports Story is the Most Disappointing Game of 2022
109It crushes me to say that Sports Story was the most disappointing game of 2022.
Back in March of 2021, I made a video detailing 7 affordable games that I felt were worth your time, and among those games was Golf Story, a very fun indie golf RPG that captivated me when it was released back in 2017. Wearing its handheld Mario Golf influences on its sleeve, Golf Story managed to surpass its inspirations through refined golfing mechanics, clever writing, and really unique and entertaining scenarios that push the sport of golf to its limits. I loved this game so much that I bought a vinyl copy of the soundtrack. So, as I’m sure you can imagine, I’ve been eagerly anticipating the release of Sports Story, the much more ambitious follow-up to Golf Story. The game had been unfortunately delayed a few times over the next couple of years, but when the game surprise launched on December 23rd, I purchased it frame 1. And, having played it, it absolutely crushes me to say that Sports Story is one of the most disappointing games that I’ve played in a while. I hope that this Sports Story review is helpful to you. Thanks so much for watching!
