Golf King is one of my favorite golf games, it plays smoothly, has just enough additional play, King, Golden Challenge, Tournament, not too much to complicate the game, many personalization options, but I’m not playing to get the prettiest hat or glasses or shirt or pants or shoes, so it doesn’t bother me that it takes a long time to earn those, or you just pay for them; it’s for everyone, you can never spend a single penny and still enjoy the game tremendously, but if you have money to burn, you can buy all the fancy clubs and clothes if you like, but those who spend money on clubs rise to the top levels, I never spend a penny and enjoy the lower levels without ever having to play with those paying players, so it doesn’t bother me, it’s a perfect game for if you have a few minutes or more of time for a relaxing break, it’s easy and quick, I love it!

The game is riddled with developers and players who receive preferential treatment based on their purchases. The whole game is a trap to frustrate you into buying upgrades and packages. In the beginning they don’t manipulate your shots unless you are making progress too quickly and then the advantage goes to the opponent or not. Again the goal is to let you win only so much then you are forced to upgrade because suddenly you can only win 1 of of 5 matches. If you just want to swing at a ball and don’t care that you literally can’t improve your status in the game without buying a ton of packages have at it, but I think most enjoy playing competitive games that challenge you. This game does not allow that and in turn you will likely give up playing or give in a waste your money...either way the game wins because they don’t care if you enjoy your time playing rather their goal is to manipulate your play into making purchases. Lastly there is significant geographic bias where “certain parts of the world” seem to have an unrealistic advantage even with equal equipment. Don’t believe me...that’s fine...play the game and within a week you’ll see I’m 100% correct. Note to developers: I hope that you find complete and total fulfillment out of manipulating people who are trying to find a few minutes of enjoyment...I also truly hope some day you mature into an actually adult rather than a bratty kid.

The game is all round awesome. Plenty of customization and perks/clubs etc to unlock and upgrade. The courses are really unique and a lot of fun to play. The game is however advertised as "The Number #1 Multiplayer Real Golf" which I find slightly inaccurate, here's a simple reason as to why. I was in the middle of a game when I had to switch apps quickly, I thought that when I'd return to the app that I'd simply be back on the menu screen with a message saying I've been kicked for inactivity from the server or something like that because that's what all multiplayer games do due to the servers/real-time aspect etc. But when I came back, the game was paused with the opponent's ball in the air, then the game resumed and the ball kept going, and if it was in fact a real time multiplayer, that most definitely wouldn't have happened. So with all that said, I'm 95% sure this game is not multiplayer, it's against AI bots. And I'm not saying that you shouldn't get it for that reason, that's not what I'm saying, but I'm just giving a fair warning so to speak that this might not be a multiplayer game like you think. But other than that this game is definitely worth it, and it's super fun. Definitely worth the try. There are really no other downsides to it except for the fact that I don't entirely believe it's a multiplayer game, especially the fact that it's advertised as the #1 multiplayer game.
