Golf Story's most charming aspect is that, while it is indeed focused on golf, that focus is often quite blurred. But since I can’t, even though there’s a red controller up there that says abandoned, I guess I’m not really abandoning it, I guess I’m stuck with it forever. Miyamoto, what I want is the basic freedom to throw away something I don’t want anymore. Want to try one more time? Well, no I really don’t, Mr.

Anytime I go there to get back into something fun again, there it will be, whispering at me, hey, you never beat me, did you? You gave up around the wellworn open where you have to go through the whole course which takes about twenty minutes and if you ever fail to make par like even once you have to pretty much do it over again to progress the story.

But no, it’s in my permanent collection now, always there in the “redownload software” page. If I could just erase my record of owning Golf Story then I wouldn’t be frustrated anymore, I could just give up. Celeste, Ghosts and Goblins Resurrection, and now Golf Story, are all games I played on the switch that made me wish you could permanently delete download purchases from your Nintendo account.
