    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 The PC version suffers from very outdated graphics.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.

  1. 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.

    Some people are utterly butthurt by this game's graphics and presentation but the fact still remains that it's a very good football gameSome people are utterly butthurt by this game's graphics and presentation but the fact still remains that it's a very good football game compared to what we've ever had before in this genre.

    What really matters in a footy game?
    Gameplay, gameplay and gameplay.

    Does PES2017 have good gameplay?
    Yes it does. Very good, in fact.

    Do I really care about graphics?
    Yes, but it's not as important as gameplay.

    9/10 - Best footy game ever. Goodbye PES5 and PES6.
