However it’s not long after the game’s opening – an exciting race to first place in the dying stages of the US Open interspersed with insightful words from McIlroy himself – that the cracks begin to show. The new open world nature of each course also eliminates the load times between holes, and means poorly placed shots can now be played from out of bounds rather than just incurring an automatic stroke penalty as before, which adds to the realism. The Prologue also introduces you to the new Frostbite 3 engine-powered courses, which look appreciably superior than the links of the last generation – even if some of the textures are a little flat and a lot of the course features tend to pop in around the path of the ball’s flight. This is a golf game that allows the player to effectively determine their own handicap, as opposed to 2014’s The Golf Club which had a more unrelenting focus on serious simulation. You’re given the option of choosing between a classic ‘three-click’ swing timer, and two variants on the more contemporary analogue thumbstick-based setup – one a simplified system augmented with arcade-style power boosting and aftertouch spin controls, the other a more realistic method with all assists turned off and a more sensitive reception to the aim and velocity of your swing.I especially like how you can heavily customise each of the three mechanics to suit your own skills I ended up settling on the latter more realistic setting only with the putting path aid toggled on (because my short game is terrible). The Prologue that opens the game does an excellent job of introducing the three new control systems. It’s a shame too because Rory McIlroy PGA Tour gets off to a great start.
