Having played other golf games in the past such as Tiger Woods PGA TOUR 12, I know firsthand about the struggles associated with playing sports games that require patience and precision. HB Studios has succeeded in creating a core golfing title that’s easy for anyone to pick up and play.
The Humble 2K Mega Hits Bundle just launched recently. It includes eighteen items including Borderlands 3, XCOM, Civilization VI, BioShock: The Collection, Mafia Definitive Edition, and more.
First time afaik that the complete BL3 with all DLC has been available <$33 CAD. Then to throw in the complete Bioshock collection, Mafia Remastered, a bunch of XCom games, Civ 6, etc. This is by far the best deal HB has had in recent years. Reminds me of the old days, before they got greedy.
Definitely a good deal. However, for those interested in BL3, it does not come with the Season 2 Pass (that's the Ultimate Edition). Not saying anyone is missing much, but just to clarify.
That's a good pack, but I already have almost half of those games and the remainder isn't compelling enough for me to fork out for it (plus none of my friends will take the extra game keys).

Neil writes: "PGA TOUR 2K21 is quite possibly the best golf game currently on the market. As realistic as you can get, but with that realism interspersed with the old bit of humour and arcade feel, if you're looking to take in a round or two, it is very much your best bet. Today though PGA TOUR 2K21 brings forth a variety of new options with 3 brand new DLC packs that will have you filling out your bag like there's no tomorrow."
I miss the more arcadey Tiger Woods series. I had such a great time playing those on PS2/3, being able to add spin to tweak shots after being hit, mashing the power button while swinging, building up my golfer. I play golf in real life - even work in the industry - but I don't need 1:1 realism in the golf games I play.
I played PGA 2k21 and really disliked it. Poor analog swing controls, shots that went way shorter than other shots for indiscernible reasons, no arcadey option to do after-effect shots on the ball. It's definitely a simulation game, but it also feels like it needs to be more consistent if it wants to wear that badge. I just didn't have fun with it. If this is what the best golf game of today has to offer, I'm really bummed.
Yeah this is why I stayed away from the pga games. Personally I prefer the fun ones I originally got into golf games with Mario golf and the GameCube one. Played a few of the tiger woods ones and loved. After they started feeling boring. Bought everybody's golf on release and never played it because I felt I probably didn't like golf games anymore. But then I did earlier this year, and actually enjoyed it. Thought about buying the PGA tour to see if it's just a refreshed mindset with em. Reading what you said makes me realize that's probably what it was. It trying to be more realistic than arcade fun
This year's entry is definitely a great pick up and play title for anyone remotely interested in playing golf.
