Sep 14, 2017On the pitch, Pro Evolution Soccer 2018 is the undisputed king, but all around it there's far too much standstill.

Oct 19, 2017Looking at it negatively, you could say that PES 2018 is torn between two ideas, even seems to have some kind of identity crisis. Glass half full types will see it as a lovely soccer game, that can even be more fun than FIFA when played with friends. The added realism even gives it the credibility needed to give it an edge over FIFA.

Sep 13, 2017Finally PC players too can play the game in a next-generation version.

LEVEL (Czech Republic)Jan 2, 2018The new episode brought some evolution. Greater inclination to realism is not always beneficial. Counterweight to great gameplay is missing licenses and poor visuals. [Issue#280]

CD-ActionDec 19, 2017This year’s edition of PES is a really good game (the PC version is at last on par with the consoles) that has one major problem – it appeals to people already won over by Konami’s series and has almost no chance to convince FIFA’s fans. That doesn’t change the fact that I can honestly recommend it. [12/2017, p.56]

Sep 25, 2017PES 2018 is Konami’s classic back at its strongest on PC, and the small changes to the feel of the gameplay have genuine ramifications on the pitch. It might lack the big budget feel of FIFA, most keenly felt in the match atmosphere, commentary and the lack of TV-like production values, but it plays a damn fine game of football.

Sep 17, 2017Good football dynamics are overshadowed by the lack of licenses and some buggy scripts. All is fine, except those things.
-
Sep 15, 2017When you get onto the pitch, no other football game feels as good as PES 2018.
-
Sep 20, 2017The definitive PES on PC, if you can get a game online.
-
Dec 23, 2017Finally, after two years of waiting, the PC version of Pro Evolution Soccer is on par with current console offerings.
