Sports Story is a continuation of Golf Story, a combination of sports game and RPG released in 2017. This time the creators decided to expand the number of available disciplines. Sidebar Games is responsible for the game.
Sports Story develops ideas known from the previous part of the series. The player travels through new lands with their own cities, characters and pitches. During the game, competitions are held in several sports disciplines such as golf, volleyball, tennis and football.
In addition, during the exploration of the world, the player can perform a number of side activities, such as conversations with NPCs, fishing trips, discovering treasures or exploring dungeons.
Sports Story's graphics are inspired by classic jRPGs.

COGconnected: 60 / 100 by Jaz Sagoo
Sports Story pales in comparison to its predecessor. The plot fails to capture the whimsy which engulfs the original. While I understand Sidebar Games’ decision to go large with its narrative, in doing so, it removes the simplicity which makes Golf Story so unforgettable. Although it expands its gameplay with a number of new sporting activities, the success of these varies. Combining this with the volume of performance issues and bugs means this swing is a whiff rather than a hit.

It was always going to be tough to follow-up Golf Story in an interesting manner, and one certainly can’t say there was a lack of ambition in what Sidebar Games was trying to achieve in Sports Story. However, fulfilling that ambition is another matter entirely, and ultimately the game leaves a sense of what could have been.

The long-awaited follow-up to Golf Story is rough but characterful, with plenty of retro warmth
