Good golf simulator, realistic and very adaptable. More content, modes and a technical improvement are necessary.

PGA Tour 2K21 is a well-made golf game that features a ton of gameplay options for its audience. Being able to choose through a large list of options to fully tailor your type of gameplay is incredible. However, I feel like it can’t decide whether it wants to dip more into arcade territory or just remain as a simulator. I hope they will find a way to cater to both eventually, but this is a big step in the right direction.

PGA 2K21 gives a damn fine game of golf. It controls solidly and there's a good learning curve as you get to grips with the more advanced types of shot. Despite that, I can't help but be a little disappointed with the feel of the overall experience. What should have been a hole in one return of a licensed golf series feels like it's only just managing to hit par.

PGA Tour 2K21 sets a new standard for golf games. It has detailed gameplay that is welcoming for newcomers but incredibly complex for the veteran golfers. The presentation is also incredibly impressive, with strong audio and course-mapping that made me feel like I was an actual pro.

With a huge success on the golf courses, PGA Tour 2K21 manages to deliver an exquisite experience in what matters most and a long-lived career, although in other aspects, especially the visual presentation and the use (or lack of) of its content licensed, laying good foundations on which to build a long-term champion formula.

Overall, it’s nice to have a game that actually features PGA branding and gives players of all skill levels a fun, realistic experience. Add that to the fact that players have access to thousands of custom courses and you have a game that you can play endlessly for years to come. If you’re looking for a new golf game, PGA Tour 2K21 should still satiate that need.

PGA Tour 2K21 is far from perfect. Compared to other sports games, the game is not very nicely finished and the diversity in terms of modes is also somewhat meager. It's a shame that this MyCareer mode hasn't received the same attention as, say, that of NBA 2K. Perhaps that is still a bridge too far, but it could have had a little more gravy. It is also a shame that the world looks a bit clinical. The wind has little effect on the environment itself and the NPCs also look somewhat lifeless. The commentary, on the other hand, is well done and the golf itself is also very well put together. After a few holes, you will no longer notice the above misses and you will appreciate the depth of the game. The controls, customization and the tracks themselves have received a lot of love and attention. Golf enthusiasts will certainly appreciate the game and new players will also be lucky, because the game is very accessible. However, if you have nothing to do with golf, then logically you will not get much pleasure from PGA Tour 2K21.

From a pure gameplay standpoint, PGA Tour 2K21 delivers a strong enough experience to satisfy fans, and the course designer is fantastic. However, the game falls more toward the average because of its bland career mode, modest list of licensed golfers, and out-dated graphics.

PGA Tour 2K21 is a lot of fun to play, with the best gameplay in a golf game to date. The courses look beautiful, and the presentation is on point as well. Whilst the career mode is quite basic, it never ruins the enjoyment of the game.

I know I personally am going to sink more hours into this, especially in handheld mode. I'll lament the sedate menus and game crashes, but I'll take the compromises for off-TV play. If you do want to look at prettier visuals with less issues on your TV, go check out PGA Tour 2K21 on another platform.

PGA Tour 2K21 is a great golf game. Yes, it has a few weird design choices, especially the XP and levelling system. This does not, however, overshadow an enjoyable golf game that you can tailor to your wishes. The game retains its great Societies feature along with a robust course designer and has a plethora of game modes and multiplayer options. If you are in the market for a golf game then PGA Tour 2K21 is a sure drive up the fairway and definitely worth your time and money.
