    The Golf Club 2 is a satisfying and challenging golf simulation that succeeds thanks to the depth and quality of its core mechanics and number of courses available, despite a lackluster visual presentation and lack of proper online multiplayer.

    Deeper and more refined than the original, but there’s still room to improve its game.

    The expertise of HB Studios in sports titles shines through in the overall experience and swing mechanics of The Golf Club 2. However, that experience, along with the high-quality graphics of each hole and the smooth animations of the character get washed out by poor modeling of the on-course spectators, bland water rendering, and lower-quality background textures, even on ultra settings. Once you take the time to get a solid handle on the controls, the course creator gives you endless possibilities for gamers passionate about golf. Though, with only slightly updated graphics and the inclusion of the swing temp mechanic, is it worth the upgrade from the original The Golf Club title?

    Absolutely impossible to use with a mouse. The in-game sensitivity is a joke. First you have to turn your mouse sensitivity to max. Then youAbsolutely impossible to use with a mouse. The in-game sensitivity is a joke. First you have to turn your mouse sensitivity to max. Then you have to brace yourself for the ball going any direction but straight forward, even though you move the mouse perfectly. Clearly a game for console. Probably better with a controller. Which should not be necessary for PC. Just make a better game. FFS. Even at 3 dollars this game is an infuriating disappointment.… Expand

    I loved the original game (TGC1) but did get a bit bored with it in the end. They've tried to implement a lot of new ideas for this nextI loved the original game (TGC1) but did get a bit bored with it in the end. They've tried to implement a lot of new ideas for this next version and as ideas, they promise a lot. But the execution is a joke and that they think it's OK to put something in a game that isn't even slightly realised shows exactly what this company think about people who pay for a game. Their pre-release information has turned out to be nothing short of a con. With claims of features that just aren't there and seemingly they won't even add correctly from what their staff say on their own forums.

    Like I said, I loved the first game and had high hopes for this one, to be the best golf simulation game ever. They already had most of the raw materials to do just that with the brilliant course designer, users who love making great courses and gameplay that was decent, if a little easy from TGC1. But they've done such a bad job. They've added tutorials that do the bare minimum and are confusingly vague. There's a new tempo swing, which is a great idea IMO, but in reality with frame rate issues makes the game unfair and impossible to get used to. If tempo being to fast or slow can cause you to hit off the line you aimed, then no matter how straight you swing (which takes practice) you can still see the ball veer off into the rough or worse due to poor frame rate and server connection. You can't allow for a game that's been badly made, so that even a current generation 4k console can't have a smooth swing by going up and down on a controller. This should be child's play for any game and that HB Studio can't do this and can't resolve it, is a complete joke. If you can't swing smooth, you can't swing tempo. And if you can't swing tempo, which the game requires, then you can't tell where the ball will go, even if you do a great, straight swing. Then when you are in the rough, the games inconsistent and unfair. You can't hit good shots out of bunker and nothing like is possible in real life, for even a half decent golfer. You may find the balls gone in the water, not due to your bad swing but bad frame rate on the game. It then can't enact the correct rules of golf for drops and so you just get put back where you hit the first shot from.

    I could go on and on about what's bad with the game. But I'd just say at it's core it's a great game, but as a game it's completely awful and HB Studios should be embarrassed at what they done. They've blunted their original game's good points. Promised to add a lot of new interesting features and then failed terribly with almost every single one. Made the game a bit harder (which was needed) but also more erratic and so random it's impossible to play or plan your game in any simulation style, tactical way (which is bad for a game trying to be a pure golf sim IMO).

    There are a lot of hardcore fans that will defend this game until they die. They're the ones rating it too high and attacking people on the game studio's own forums. The game studio hardly ever comment on the games failings on there, delete posts that don't even break their rules, but show the game for what it is. A lot of the guys on their forum attacking people are probably staff in disguise, who can't be known to be staff because they'd have to answer for the game's failings. This company lost their way and this game is a sickening cash grab from a loyal user base. Not to pay for what they've added in the new version. But to line their own pockets while releasing an effectively worse version of the same game.

    It's worth more than the zero I gave it though. Maybe a 3...... maybe But as it's getting 10's and 8's off people who probably work for HB, i voted it a bit lower. There's no way a game made a shockingly badly as this could ever be more than a 5. Even after the patches they claim will resolve everything. No chance. Anyone who makes a game this bad, has no intention of making it better. Only, perhaps, making it barely playable. 8 weeks in and it still crashes modern consoles (which no other game I've played has ever done) and is unplayable due to server lag at busy times. Which believe it or not is when people are playing (lol, what a joke). Also it dropped 60% of it's original sale price, within 5 weeks of release. This is not a sign of a good game. Only an idiot would argue otherwise. Also this'll be free on games with gold (Xbox One Live) before long. Save your money and try it when it's free    … Expand
