It occurred to me recently: if I have a Steam deck and a comfy couch, why not play golf?" I couldn't find many deck-friendly golf games that didn't require an emulator or a golf variation like "What the Golf?" but finally came across " Super Video Golf", which is perfect for Steam decks, doesn't require the lo-fi looks of the 90s, and supports 8-player local or online PvP.

Plus, it's workshop-ready, so there are plenty of options for players to customize. In other words, wouldn't you like to "play golf as Robocop?"

Super Video Golf was released just over a year ago, but it just keeps getting better and better, and the 1.16 update that arrived today introduces many welcome changes.

In the career mode, "you'll walk through six leagues, each with a six-round season. "These rounds are split across all 12 courses available on Super Video Golf, with two rounds on the front nine, two rounds on the back nine, and two rounds on the 18-hole, two different courses per league.

Only the first league is accessible at the start of your career, and you must finish in the top three to unlock the next league. (Competitors are not human, but "created from pseudo-random statistics generated at the start of the season and used to generate fantasy football-style leagues.")

There are also rewards such as "a new ball for finishing third or higher, new headwear for finishing second or higher, and a new player avatar unlocked for finishing first."

Super Video Golf's 1.16 update also includes an overhauled profile editor, adjustable crowd density, customizable golf ball colors, other tweaks, and online leaderboards for the global league feature added last year, You can see how your scores match up against other golfers.Super Video Golf is available on Steam or Itch for just $9.
