The latest indie game set to arrive on the Nintendo Switch is a rather distinctive golf game known as Golf Story. Developed by Sidebar Games, the title takes a more stylistic approach to the sport of golf, introducing role-playing elements to the genre. This manifests as having the sport mixed in with a town simulator like Stardew Valley.
