Wasn't sure about this one, and I had no idea where the name came from, but when you look at at in VR it's just brilliant. Forget there is a golf game, just the amount of work gone into this is pretty special. That's the beauty of their DLC, and really if you don't own them all your are going to miss out somewhere. The cost is so small it's just a game that keeps giving.
Wait, did people not like upside town?! That has to be one of my favorite courses...
This time, they have completely outdone themselves!!! This is BY FAR THE BEST COURSE YET!!! I was blown away at the course where your ball is flat and you feel like you’re playing hockey! Not to mention the one where the ball is GIGANTIC in the easy course and then teeny tiny in the hard course. Just way too many cool things to mention but this really is the best!!
I can tell you, the trailers do NOT show what makes this course so cool! Wasn't expecting much, but my wife and I just played through it, and there are PORTALS that take you to courses that alter the whole way you play golf! There's a retro world where your balls become hockey pucks with Duck Hunt sound effects, there's a course where you're hitting your ball through the belly of a caterpillar (that you have to go through too), and there's portals that alter the size of your ball, and portals that multiply your balls. Was truly the coolest thing I've experienced in VR with this game, and should not be missed! I should play it again and record it to show you guys! My only guess is that they didn't want to spoil this with trailers? Worth every penny though!
Correct, the joy you’ve described in discovering these things was exactly what I wanted to preserve, and try to ‘sell’ the course to everyone without giving specifics. So pleased you’ve enjoyed it though!
@InnerPrincessVR Well, neither words nor imagery can describe what this feels like in VR. I say this, because even though I'm more stoked about seeing a Meow Wolf museum in real life, I was about to miss out on this DLC because the trailer made it look "boring"... Glad I decided to try it out, nobody would regret it that gets it though!
On my first play through I was completely lost and after 2-3 holes I just let go and went on the ride, seeing where it took me. I didn't look for a single ball, care about the score or anything. When I got to the final holes I was excited to see what the next concept would be and I was disappointed when I came to the end. They did an amazing job on this course and I'm looking forward to seeing what they come up with next.
Wait, what was disappointing?
@@extol1290when he came to the end of that dlc 🥸
Katy and Walkabout's collab should alarm whoever's modding maps going forward. THIS MAP IS NOTHING SHORT OF AMAZING IN OH-SO MANY WAYS!! WOW-WOW-WOW!!
Yep, they've really pushed the envelope with this one, and the quality bar was already set high
I actually loved upside-town!
Me too. I will not tolerate Upside Town slander! 😝
Same
It's a beautiful course and the sheer detail that went into everything is incredible, but after going in with zero context (other than what previous videos had shown) and completing the Easy course, I have to say I have mixed feelings about it.
First, the comparisons to Upside Town (which the video addresses). Like Upside Town, Meow Wolf is a visually amazing course; however, Upside Town quickly became my least favorite of the existing courses due to how far it strays from the rest of Walkabout Minigolf's core mechanics by forcing you to putt balls on the sides of walls or on ceilings. I'm not saying it was BAD or criticizing Mighty Coconut for trying something new; it simply didn't feel like true Minigolf the way most of WM's other courses do mechanically speaking, and playing with my friend (whom I introduced to WM and who's now an avid fan) quickly reinforced that fact as we both concluded afterward that it was less practical for serious competitive matches. And for all the experimentation and discovery that the initial single-player playthrough offers, that is where Meow Wolf's biggest potential turnoff is going to be, particularly for fans of multiplayer, with so many holes employing entirely new mechanics that you (or more specifically, the first player at each hole who must be the guinea pig) must figure out the "rules" of, typically with no explanation whatsoever. Balls that split into several, holes with multiple cups, holes where you must achieve something else to reveal the cup(s), random teleports of different sizes that can send your ball in random directions, and more; while the novelty of all these may be fresh the first time around, a lot of them can and no doubt absolutely will wreak havoc during multiplayer sessions. How players will react to all that randomness will likely vary, especially if they're really competitive.
There's also the complete lack of context that probably the vast majority of players are going to have regarding Meow Wolf and Numina, as I had. Even having spent over two hours on both the Easy and Hard courses this afternoon, I honestly don't have any more insight into this "world" or whatever lore it may contain than I did before (something the complete lack of text in the Fox Hunt seems to confirm isn't coincidental). As a licensed course, it's an odd choice and my concern is that unfamiliarity might cause some folks to pass on even purchasing it.
With that said, do I regret my purchase of Meow Wolf? Not one bit; I'm more than happy to snap up each and every amazing course that Mighty Coconut brings us, and I sincerely hope they'll keep doing so for a very long time to come. Not every course can be everyone's favorite, and not every experiment may end up being liked (as much) by every player, but I'm thankful for Meow Wolf (as I am for Upside Town) as gaming experiences regardless, and I don't ever wish to discourage Mighty Coconut from trying new ideas and approaches. Again, it's a beautiful course and Mighty Coconut have outdone themselves with the detail and sound work in this one. But mechanically speaking I don't know how often I'll be breaking it out for multiplayer in particular as its random elements seem too far from the core mechanics of WM's other courses, and as such can quickly make matches less about skill than blind luck.
As someone who went in person with a friend, completed every possible amount of lore which triggers an event in the whole installation: I still don’t know what’s going on either :)
Absolutely felt like a playground environment, a "Fun haunted house"..We found enough balls on our second try to unlock the hard course,but round 1 didn't go so well..we reached hole 18,and the game didn't end when the last ball was sunk, Had to quit the game. my friend who birdied the course didn't get the unlock.reported to WMG. It hasn't put me off,just trying to resist jumping in to your lost ball guide!
I'm lucky to have a regular group I play with, and we all agreed Meow Wolf was so much fun and quickly became our favourite course. Keep up the great vid's
It is SOOOOO good! Except the ending glitched on me. I was just stuck in the level.
I just bought some shrooms!!!! On this!
My favorite way to describe this is as a very close approximation to doing acid for 7 hours straight. Condensed into about 30 minutes without actually doing acid. It feels beyond words.
It's very trippy. Closest I'll ever come to trying acid though :)
Hey InnerPrincess, thank you very much for your content. May I ask a question? I play this game on Quest 3 and I can't figure out how to use the instruments in the game, like the piano or the drum set. To only "touch" these instruments with my putter won't do anything. Do I need to press a certain button while mashing on it with my putter?
Thank you for your kind comments. Now I feel a bit guilty, but I should say that there’s a small chance those instrument sounds are a running joke on my channel. Maybe some time in the future they’ll turn them on in-game
@@InnerPrincessVR Haha, awesome!! 😂 Very good editing then!! I didn't notice it at all! I've already thought there's something wrong with my controllers.
As someone that’s only experienced the Denver MeowWolf, this appeals to me so much! Can’t wait to get this!
Great review! Interesting to hear about Meow Wolf - like you, I wasn't previously aware of them. Looking forward to playing this.
Thanks! Now I’ve learned more about it, it’s such a great choice and partnership for Walkabout
It's very glitchy. I had about 5 stuck ball detected issues and balls disappearing into the environment. Probably needs a patch to address the clipping issues. I play on PCVR so I can't speak for Meta version m
In the air hockey level my ball magically jumped the moving border and I could not get it back to the course. Very glitchy and I was expecting some better artistry. Some courses are well worth the 3.99. I guess a course like this evens out the value.
@@airdaff4973 Yes that happened to me, and my ball went into permanent limbo on the lilly pond hole. The course is so busy with things happening, I'm not surprised the quality control on the hit detection on static scenery and clipping suffered.
The second hole on easy is my single favorite hole in the entire game - it asks a simple question that is so easily answered and yet so surprising that I would never have thought of it beforehand.
Well said 😌
Visually my favorite by far. On my Quest 3 a bit buggy, practice mode hole 13 the ball kept slowly rolling (at the start and/or after turning big, the game auto-reported it to the devs), and a high score didn't register back at the shack. But they'll suss those out, I'm sure. Fun course!
Absolutely agree - the first run through was just a wonderful experience. Looking forward t
Sorry, but a truly horrid course. Awful shot play. Not mini golf in any remote sense of the word. Postmodern bullshit.
This course is so good on PSVR2. The HDR does it wonders. It looks so good!
I am not a fan of pastel colors or hippie art so I really didn't like this course that much, but it does have some fun aspects. And the last hole was a let down. But did really like the Tron like hole and would like to see them make a whole course based around that. I noticed this course took way longer to load up.
My first try on this new course totally threw me & I had the worst score ever! I had no idea what to do, but am hoping, with a little help from you and a few more attempts, that I eventually master it! 😬😬
Still loving your videos! This is still one of the best vr games ever made to me!
I adored this course.
It’s really quite special
I loved this course and its absolute weirdness of it, so many experimental mechanics, really wish it was a series instead of a one-off.
in a different interview they hinted it could be a series depending on how sales of the dlc go
This course is amazing!!!!! Just ... WOW!
It's an OK course. Goes very quickly. Too many easy hole in ones with the multi ball. Graphics seemed a bit rushed if you look at the details. Most courses are so expansive and this one seemed a bit cramped. Missed out on another opportunity for a nice Christmas themed course. Would be so easy.
We love your introduction videos and helps to evaluate if it's worth it or not 💯.
(But I must say that Mighty Coconut does an excellent job on every map and it is difficult not to buy all of them 😅).
Hope appears soon bundles of all maps to can support properly the game 🥰
It is now available it is called whole in one I think
Yes @@altonito777,
Appeared an all-in-one with a bunch of them (but not all at today).
It was at least on Steam, and at Pico was a deal of main game+4dlcs.
does anybody know how to get the ball that they show at 3:00 ?
I thought this course was the coolest one so far
I imagine how it would be if i did shrooms
I need to get on this immediately
Love it ❤
amazing!
This map is so good that I think the one that just came out la few days ago is just “okay”. Bar has been set high
It’s great that there’s a variety available. I know some people didn’t like how ‘out there’ this one was, so for them the new course is more up their street. I’m in agreement that this is also an extremely good course
This course was a dreamy, surprising & exciting trip. Best yet - Loved it! ❤
Such a pleasant place to explore, and nothing beats the first round when you discover everything
I played easy & hard earlier today about 9hrs ago & I loved everything about it. It just totally smashed it out of the park. I felt like a kid in the most beautiful, playful environment. Great job, guys. I wasn't happy at all with the previous new course but this new one makes me feel so excited about future courses 😊❤
I haven't purchased any new courses since I purchased journey in June ,because none of them interested me, BUT I had to buy this new course after trying it out. It's simply stunning and so much fun.
New favorite course. Absolute trip. Can't wait to see what the putter is. Which will no doubt require your help!
It looks trippy. I can’t wait to try it. Thanks for the background story on it. I probably wouldn’t have purchased it without knowing about what it is about and what it is trying to portray.
I giggled like a child from the unexpected discoveries the first time through.
Hi Do you know how to get course themed outfits because I have them for some but want them for all my courses, i.e course Temple at zerzura
Have you bought Zerzura? I think once you buy the DLC those avatar options become unlocked too
Yes I have bought it and I also have Atlantis and an Atlantis themed head@@InnerPrincessVR
Wo kann man einen Bug melden? Bei 3 von 3 Multiplayergames wird das Spiel immer am letzten Loch, immer beim letzten Spieler, nicht beendet. Der Soieler ist an der Reihe, bekommt aber den Ball nicht serviert, die ganze Tabelle wird nicht gespeichert, alle Rekorde sind weg. Das Spiel hat dann nie stattgefunden.
I was in awe the first time playing it, and I am still in awe... amazing!
Ngl, dunno why, but im not really feelin this one. I guess it justs looks umpleasong to me. Maybe another time 😕
The holes frame the colours in a more controlled way, I tried to grab wider shots to show the full palette, but the holes themselves are more focussed. And the course plays really really well. I’d recommend it, but hop on the discord to find someone who has it to play with if you want to try it first
Just buy it, for £3 you are supporting the developers. I’d buy any and every course even if I didn’t like the look just to support Walkabout
@rorypatterson4548 i know its cheap, and I love this dev team. But its more about the principle of the matter. I love this game, ive bought every other dlc, finding 1 ugly out of like 20 maps is pretty good id say. Like I said also, maybe itll grow on me in the future, who knows
@@nightmare4lol fair enough mate, I didn’t know anything about the new course until I went on the game, got it and first play through thought this might be my favourite one. Would definitely say it’s the most inventive in terms of the new mechanics
What a stunning course, absolutely beautiful, I may spend time here even if I don't fancy playing golf! Speaking of the golf; challenging, innovative and fun. An absolute triumph of a course, well done to the Coconuts.and to Meow Wolf, and thank you Inner Princess for your videos!
Thanks for another great and informative video. Very looking forward to your videos with each new DLC.
I will eventually get this one - since everything WMG puts out is worth experiencing, I do however very much dislike the cacophony of colors in the easy course...
So I have now played it. Some cool ideas. Nothing more. The main word that kept coming to my mind while playing this course was disharmony. Disharmony between the colors, the holes and their mechanics, and the music was frankly unpleasant and disharmonous as well. All of this disharmony is in stark contrast to all the other wmg courses, in which game play, visual design and music complement each other to create a complete and joyful experience.
This is by far my least favorite course. And I can say to anybody that feels by the screenshots and videos that this one is not for them - your feeling is probably correct.
By far my favorite course yet!
I absolutely LOVED this course, my absolute favorite. The idea that every hole has something different was just incredible that they had that many different concepts. I had so much fun with it. I wish I could just tell them directly how incredible of a job they did. I really liked the tron like video game hole, and the bubbles that gave you a lot of possibilities for best ball. I can go on and on about how amazing this was
Would love to see a Course/Putter tier list of which are your favourites ☺
You gave me the final encouragement needed to put together my latest video, thank you!
Glad to see this is out!
Absolutely far and away my favorite Walkabout course. They absolutely knocked it out of the park with this one! The closest I have felt to the awe of Walkabout since first booting into Tourist Trap years ago.
The only course I won't be buying.
@@UltimaGabe you do that
May i ask why?
It kind of hurts my eyes tbh
To be honest, I wasn't sure about this one at first either. I'm glad I took the risk. This is a good course. Lots of cool twists.
I think my only complaint is that it's too complex. It's easy to get turned around and lost. Especially during the fox hunt.
I can tell you, the trailers do NOT show what makes this course so cool! Wasn't expecting much, but my wife and I just played through it, and there are PORTALS that take you to courses that alter the whole way you play golf! There's a retro world where your balls become hockey pucks with Duck Hunt sound effects, there's a course where you're hitting your ball through the belly of a caterpillar (that you have to go through too), and there's portals that alter the size of your ball! Was truly the coolest thing I've experienced in VR with this game, and should not be missed! I should play it again and record it to show you guys! My only guess is that they didn't want to spoil this with trailers? Worth every penny though!
Better than Labyrinth? That seems a stretch, but I can still appreciate an artistic approach.... as long as you don't have to be on drugs to appreciate it, or a mindless lemming. Feel like I need to see more about this one to give my hard earned $4.
The new mechanics really bring a new feel to this course, and they don’t feel like a novelty. If you’re still unsure, try to grab a round with someone who owns it and give it a try
@@InnerPrincessVR I ended up watching a playthrough of it. Looks like a good course after all. Appreciate reviews like yours! Thanks for sharing!
