    Passing, scoring opportunities, tactical depth – PES 2017 is a soccer masterpiece. The PC version suffers from very outdated graphics.

    Fantastic gameplay of the new Pro Evolution Soccer is flawed by unamusing gameplay modes, terrible PC version and suspicious multiplayer. But the football itself is made so well that the rest almost doesn't matter.

    PES 2017 is an invitation to the best virtual soccer you've seen in years, if you're willing to overlook the lack of official licenses and some annoying technical glitches.

    It's a shame that PES has made so many worthwhile tweaks, only to deliver a lacklustre PC edition. PES could—and should—be as good as the console game in every detail, and if have a console you’ll be throwing good money after bad. Pity, as otherwise this ought to be a seminal football sim.

    Looks like Konami managed to create perfect gameplay for virtual football: it has the right tempo, the right AI, and even goalkeepers are great – in terms of realism of the matches PES 2017 came close to perfection. Unfortunately, everything else is just sad. For example, licenses – they were never Konami’s strong suit, but this time there are only three real teams in Bundesliga, and even Juventus was turned into some weird PM Black White.

    The changes in gameplay are welcome and the super-defenders need a bit more effort to beat, but overall the changes are minimal. We have again the same "last-gen" version of Fox Engine, while the console counterparts enjoy upgraded visuals. With this installment of PES, KONAMI makes a clear statement that it doesn't care about the PC community.

    The PC version of Pro Evo stayed way behind the console editions and obviously exists only to squeeze some cash out of fans. Don’t buy it – either try FIFA 17 or keep playing PES 2016. It seems we need to wait until Pro Evo PC’s corpse decays completely and turns to dust to see it thoroughly overhauled. [12/2016, p.67]

    The PC version of PES 2017 features most of the positive gameplay changes implemented in the console version but that's the only positive thing I can say about this game. You can't justify paying a full price for a product that hasn't changed technically since 2013. It would be better to have forgotten about PCs altogether. You should be ashamed, Konami.

    PES 2017 on PC is a mess, especially when comparing it to the PS4/Xbox One version.

    Pro Evolution Soccer 2017 is a fantastic football game, quite possibly one of the best ever. On the pitch, it plays spectacularly well, with both individual players and teams expressing themselves as recognisable entities, and Master League is a superb singleplayer mode, making player development entertaining and simple to grasp...Take it online, though, and things start to fall apart. And the PC port is an ugly downgrade in comparison to the current-gen console versions.
