Where exactly to start with the mega drop of new games on Apple Arcade late last week? As tempted as I’ve been by Mistwalker’s outrageously gorgeous Fantasian, or Platinum Games’ overdue iOS debut World of Demons, it’s the one that took me completely by surprise that I downloaded first. Its very existence is a remarkable thing of itself: after 23 years as a PlayStation exclusive developer, this is Clap Hanz first release beyond the world of Sony’s consoles.
If you’ve been a fan of Clap Hanz’ PlayStation work, it’ll be immediately familiar: Clap Hanz Golf on Apple Arcade really is the Everybody’s Golf experience on mobile, all that character and class accumulated over the years surviving the process intact, with a few nips and tucks here and there.
