FLEX Disc Golf Reviews

The game certainly needs a lot of work! The UI is awful—barely readable in the main menu, making it difficult to even see what the options are. Then there's the gameplay. Oh boy. The aiming line is absolutely terrible. The game doesn’t explain what the "throw meters" do—one seems to be for distance, and the other for power (?). There’s no real sense of how far or high your throw will go. No indication, no feedback—nothing. You’re left guessing, hoping to magically hit the meters perfectly by pure luck. Worse, I get different results in my throws even when using the same disc with the same distance and power. It makes no sense. Then there's the backhand/forehand issue. Characters automatically go for a backhand even when you choose a forehand. The maps are a mess—too many trees. And speaking of trees, the disc will hit every single one because the hitboxes are massive. Even when it looks like you're nowhere near a tree, there's a high chance you'll bounce off it or get stuck. For a game where precision is supposed to be key, these issues are unacceptable. There's also no way to properly view the course except for a quick flyover when entering a tee pad, and even that doesn’t always happen. Once you're on the course, you're on your own. Then the game screws you over in a special way. Let’s say you're playing a hole with a par of 4, and you reach the basket in 2 throws. The game automatically gives you a par because of a green circle around the basket that ends your attempt. So, you can’t even putt from close range. Fast travel is buggy—sometimes buttons don’t work, or you can’t throw at all and have to abandon the game. Then there’s the money system, which makes no sense. I have no idea how earnings are calculated. Sometimes I get $1 for completing a hole, sometimes $4. XP is just as random—sometimes 5-10XP, sometimes 0, and other times 50XP. Bought discs have disappeared. I couldn’t select certain discs (putter, midrange, fairway, driver), meaning I wasted in-game currency and had to restart. Oh, and some achievements seem to be broken (for example, playing on different courses doesn't register). At this point, I have nothing positive to say—except that it is a disc golf game. Yay.
