    I just picked up “Turbo Golf Racing” last night, and am so far having a good time with it. Seems to be a really interesting take on Rocket League thus far. From what I can tell, all of the rewards in the “shop” are based off of in-game rewards and no premium currency, though there are some cosmetics that you can get in the form of supporter pack purchases (which are quite cheap). There is also a “season pass”, but there’s no premium tier of it. Performs at a nice 90FPS on my OLED Deck.

    There are two modes, a “Race” mode which is similar-ish to Rocket League, but everyone has their own ball that they’re trying to race into the goal as quickly as possible, while navigating around the tracks. The “Golf” mode is pretty much traditional golf where everyone has a turn hitting their ball to advance it closer and closer to the goal each turn.

    Fair warning, like Rocket League it is primarily an online multiplayer game, the only single player offline mode is the time trials mode.

    I was a bit skeptical since the reviews mentioned that the online is dead / long queue times, but I’ve only had to wait a little over a minute at max for a match, in either game mode. Can’t say anything about the “Ranked” mode however.

    For what is normally $10 USD (on sale for $7.49 right now) I’m having a very good time!

    I’ve also picked up Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor, and No Man’s Sky, but I haven’t had the time to give them a proper shot yet.

      I hadn’t heard of turbo golf racing, but it sounds fun.

      DRG survivor and NMS are both great, NMS consumed a couple months of my life when I first tried it last year.
