7 Most Disappointing Video Games Of 2021 (So Far)

4. Mario Golf: Super Rush

Mario Golf's debut on Switch is a totally fine, simplistic golf game that will tick all boxes if you've never played any previous entries in the franchise.

For everyone else though - especially those who dabbled in Toadstool Tour on the GameCube - it's a marked step down, coming with less depth in your swing options, reused animations, a less informative HUD, a threadbare amount of things to actually do, and a boring "Story Mode" that amounts to running from A to B while reading a LOT of pointless text.

Again if you're new to the whole thing, there's a lot to like. The story mode itself has some neat enough boss battles towards the end, and competitive modes have up to four golfers all playing at the same time. You'll be scoring holes first or competing for standard scores while barging each other out the way, maybe saving a special shot to knock your opponent's winning ball into the water at the last second.

When paired against the legacy of either the Mario sports titles or Mario Golf games though, Super Rush is a classic case of a sequel being paired down for a wider audience i.e. in this case, Switch owners with very little to play in a year already beset by delays and cancellations.
