    PGA Tour 2K21 is all you could want in a golf game, the relaxing yet sometimes maddening game of golf is recreated here perfectly in digital form. This year's game with the 2K flair and added authenticity of real players and even more real courses propels the game further. If you're at all into golf, you'll be into this, and if like golf just a little bit you can now get into HB Studios's golfing mastery.

    PGA Tour 2K21 is the perfect option for those who want to enjoy real golf on Nintendo Switch. Its MyPLAYER mode and its control adapted to all types of players will make you spend hours playing this sport. However, its technical section doesn't stand out on Nintendo Switch.

    As someone unlikely to play most of these courses in real-life, I relish the chance to visit them in video-game form. From driving off the tee, reading the green, and everything in between, this title offers a lot in spite of itself. If you’re someone who enjoys golf sims, please don’t let some careless glitches prevent you from checking out PGA Tour 2K21 on the Nintendo Switch. With practice, even a real-life duffer like myself can rack up his share of eagles.

    Despite an array of troublesome technical issues, PGA Tour 2K21 is still a ton of fun on Nintendo Switch. The controls and mechanics are incredible and the amount of accessibility options, features, and courses is satisfying. This might be the best swinging of the golf club I have ever experienced in a video game. While the port to Switch is bumpy, it’s workable. 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 the best golf sim on Switch. There’s obvious room for improvement, but at its core it’s a fine game of golf. [Issue #2, p.65]

    PGA Tour 2K21 plays a solid golf game with enough flexibility in its control settings to appeal to both die-hard simulation buffs and casual golf fans just looking for a quick round. Its real-life pro players are so underused they may as well not be in here and the game may not yet have the typical 2K Sports trademarks – the polished story mode, the slick TV-style presentation – but it also isn't plagued with microtransactions, and the result is a game that, refreshingly, just gets on with it.

    PGA Tour 2K21 delivers the most flexible and enjoyable game of golf since the Tiger Woods series was at its peak.

    Fun but flawed. Brilliant but bugged. Delightful yet disappointing. The list of opposing adjectives that can be used to describe PGA 2K21 is a long one. In short, it’s well worth a purchase if you can overlook the current performance issues.

    Absolutely terrible game. I've played all of the golf club games on PC and this is a huge downgrade. Graphics and frame rate is terrible.Absolutely terrible game. I've played all of the golf club games on PC and this is a huge downgrade. Graphics and frame rate is terrible. Assets like your player and the golf course itself won't load leading to just black areas. The downswing timing is insanely sensitive. The putting is atrocious. They need to fix this game ASAP.… Full Review »

    No motion control on Nintendo Switch is inconceivable. The whole point of the golf game is the swing.
