Well, if your goal was to make me never want to ever play another Golf game in my life, you succeeded.
I mean that in the best way humanly possible.
Greener Grass Awaits is a master class in tension building, always knowing exactly when to pepper in a little bit of unease, and when to go balls-out with the horror. And it's all wrapped in a premise that should be patently ridiculous, but it just bizarre enough to be dripping with malice despite it all.
I do think the game got a little TOO hard, as you can no doubt see by my meltdowns. I totally get what you are going for - removing the ample time to choose and concentrate that is inherent to Golf - but I ended up in situations where it felt downright impossible to even line up a shot at all, much less aim, before I got my face eaten. I would have prefered to make it through without having to resort to slower enemies (or in the last area, outright turn them off to feel like I had the most microscopic of chances), but finally I just buckled.
It feels like the only way to beat it legitimately is to have played Golf Games for a living since the very microsecond you popped out of your mother, but that might just be me. I just know having slower enemies did not lessen the anxiety one bit, so a slight difficulty adjustment seems very doable to me.
But either way - congratulations on making one of the most anxiety-inducing games I played all year. Rage moments aside - I truly loved it.
