Nov 1, 2022PGA Tour 2K23 is a perfectly fine golf sim that manages to neither impress nor disappoint. It’s unlikely that you’ll hate it, but it’s likely that you’ll be left wanting more out of it. If you’ve played a golf sim in the last decade this one will feel very familiar to you, for better or worse.

Oct 25, 2022PGA Tour 2K23 may have the best golf simulation ever in a videogame. It's just a shame that it does not have the visuals and game modes to match it. It feels really good to take some swings on it, but the game lacks some of the major tournaments and also experiences that go beyond the Career Mode.

Oct 10, 2022At its core, PGA Tour 2K23 remains a good, solid golf game that has benefited greatly from a lack of competition. I’m not too bothered by not being able to play St. Andrews at the moment because I simply don’t have that option unless I want to dig out “Rory McIlroy PGA Tour” on PS4. But when EA returns to the field, will the most enjoyable parts of “2K23” still hold up? Or will the appeal of those courses I badly miss pull me back to EA?

Oct 26, 2022Despite some of my frustrations with how boring PGA Tour 2K23 can feel, that also just feels like golf in a nutshell. Golf is an old game with very little innovation, so watching the most popular golf game franchise follow that same path makes sense. As a golf simulator, PGA Tour 2K23 is as good as it gets, but for players who aren’t into the extremely accurate golf representation it’s going to always feel a bit boring.

Oct 18, 2022The basics of gameplay work tremendously well, but the game is bogged down by too many niggling faults and the sense that it’ll take until at least next year to fulfil its potential.
-
Oct 14, 2022There's not much to be excited about in PGA Tour 2K23, with poorly presented golfing on second-tier courses. It's fiercely accurate to the real sport but lacks personality and variety.
-
Oct 24, 2022PGA TOUR 2K23 could not beat the 2021 version, even being developed for the new generation of consoles. Its gameplay remains firm but it does not take advantage of anything from PS5 such as graphics, DualSense or the powerful SSD. Michael Jordan and Steph Curry come in handy for the game, but that doesn't cover up the things the developers should have focused on.

Oct 17, 2022PGA Tour 2K23 makes an astonishing return after last year's absence to offer a varied top quality simulation of one of the most pleasing, fulfilling and precise sports throughout it's magnificently recreated licensed golf courses and in the company of some current legendary players.

Oct 21, 2022It seems like my best bet — if I want to more fully enjoy my time with PGA Tour 2K23 — would be to turn off downswing timing. Either that, or it might be time to put this franchise on my personal “I don’t need this stress in my life” list, right next to Elden Ring.
