Introduction

Golf: the sport where millions watch professionals hit a tiny dimpled ball into various holes, often with the fervor usually reserved for extreme sports. Lucky for us, we can now harness that excitement in the comfort of our own homes with PGA Tour 2K23. Spoiler alert: it’s a good time to be a golf gamer.

Gameplay

Immerse yourself in crispy gameplay with a plethora of features. Availability of several courses including the illustrious Top of the Rock gives fans of the game a delightful choice for their virtual outings. The controls feel just right, ensuring that when you hit a slice, it’s YOUR fault and not the game’s. All modes are here, from the single-player career that allows you to earn your spots on the leaderboard (and, let’s be real, also earn some respect from your friends), to multiplayer modes where you can flex your swing technique and blow off your friends’ scores like some crazy golf Yoda. The addition of updated tools for players to design their golf courses should bring out the inner architect in those of you who have always seemed more interested in making the prettiest sand traps than getting on the Green.

Graphics

Visually, let's face it, it’s stunning for a golf game. The lush green textures pop out like a well-placed birdie putt, while the sun-kissed fairway and dynamic weather effects create an atmosphere that’s hard to ignore. Players look sharp too, whether you’re dressing your avatar like a fashionista or an outfit-challenged pro. You’ll actually believe you're swinging on a real golf course, minus the horrendous fees and slowpokes on the course.

Conclusion

In wrapping up, PGA Tour 2K23 manages to cater to both ardent golf fans and casual gamers alike. With its engaging gameplay mechanics and visual splendor, it bridges the gap between virtual golf and the real thing with the added joy of not having to wear those hideous plaid pants. If you are looking for a solid golfing title to join your collection on PS5, swing onto this one and give it a shot. Par for the course? It’s a hole in one!
