Ever found yourself yearning to play golf while you're supposed to be playing golf? Well, enter the glorious world of video games! And what better game to dive into than PGA Tour 2K23 for the PC, snagged at a bargain from the digital haven that is Steam.
Step one in this pixelated golfing journey? Design your character. Admittedly, I didn't dwell too long here; I resemble every default character in video game history. A quick addition of a beard and, naturally, a hat to shield my digital scalp from any potential virtual sunburns. Plus, there's a treasure trove of downloadable content if you're keen on changing outfits or stepping into the digital shoes of legends like Michael Jordan.
Now, let's talk controls. Armed with my trusty Xbox controller, the mechanics felt comfortably familiar for a seasoned 2K game enthusiast like myself. Left joystick for aiming, a simple pull back and flick forward of the right joystick for the swing, and a tap of the "X" button for that precious putt preview. Quick note: you're only granted two putt previews, so wield them wisely. As for my game settings, I've opted for a standard difficulty level. After all, I'm here to revel in the virtual golfing experience without the real-life frustration.
With roughly 15 hours clocked in PGA Tour 2K23, I can confidently say it's been a delightful journey so far. Sneaking in rounds during those never-ending work meetings or squeezing in a few after a long day has been my routine. Naturally, there have been rounds that left me feeling like a digital pro and, well, some rounds where the virtual golf gods were not on my side. But on the whole, I'm holding my own. My crowning achievement? A sparkling 59. Take a peek at the screenshot below for irrefutable evidence.
Stay tuned for more updates as I navigate this virtual fairway. Who knows? I might even capture some gameplay highlights or record an entire game for your viewing pleasure. Until then, feast your eyes on my epic 24-foot putt!
