PGA European Tour Golf on N64 nails that satisfying golf sim feel—it’s got weight to the swings, tricky wind physics, and greens that actually punish you for rushing putts. The first thing you’ll notice is how weirdly good the courses look for an N64 game; they’re blocky up close, sure, but from the tee box, there’s something oddly charming about those pixelated fairways stretching into the distance.

Tournament mode’s where I spent most of my time—it’s got that addictive "just one more round" pull, especially when you’re neck-and-neck with the AI on the back nine. Pro tip: dial back the power on your drives at first. The game doesn’t hold your hand, and overswinging sends balls into the rough way more than you’d expect. It’s the kind of golf game where a bad round feels like your fault, not the game’s.

Still holds up if you’re into methodical sports games—just don’t expect arcadey Tiger Woods-style antics.
