    Lost patience. Vertiginous Golf probably meant to be an arcade golf game with inventive level design, but the level design is actually the major flaw: the levels become quickly unreadable and labyrinthine. It seems that the devs wanted every level to have various solutions, but everything ends up being confusing and without logic. Sometimes you'll find yourself happy to reach thisLost patience. Vertiginous Golf probably meant to be an arcade golf game with inventive level design, but the level design is actually the major flaw: the levels become quickly unreadable and labyrinthine. It seems that the devs wanted every level to have various solutions, but everything ends up being confusing and without logic. Sometimes you'll find yourself happy to reach this highlighted platform there, just to wonder if it is actually any beneficial to reaching the hole faster. In the end, hitting the ball forward with a lot of power puts you further than trying to follow any track seemingly highlighted by the design of the level...

    Additionally, the game feels very monotonous, with very little life and personality. There was definitely an attempt to give it a steampunk aspect through the "menu", a shop in which you navigate in first person and you can customise your character. But this is just a gimmick.

    A golfing game with attitude; Vertiginous Golf currently offers little besides its single player, though it manages to be charming and fun nonetheless. [June 2015, p.60]

    A distopyan steampunk, challenging mini-golf game, with a few technical problems caused by visuals and controls.

    Its puzzling, challenging, and deeply weird characteristics make for a unique and engaging experience that brings new life to the staidest of sports.
