    Many years ago, PES was the football game to have. Not even FIFA’s license could pull me away from it. I had been with the series right back to the International Superstar Soccer years and I loved it.

In 2008 PES released a shocker of a game and many loyal fans, myself included crossed over to FIFA.  FIFA has been my go-to footy game ever since but I always kept an eye on PES wondering if that year’s release would mark the second coming of a legend. Well with PES 2017 I’m pleased to say that we finally have a PES game worth buying again.PES 2017 may well be a return to form for Konami’s football game but it bears the bruises from the pummeling it has taken from FIFA over the years. It has a lot to prove and isn’t without issues but all in all it’s like seeing a good friend after years of absence. Playing the game, I sighed a breath of relief as the speed and balance of the gameplay felt smooth and natural. With PES 2017, Konami have created one of the best football games ever, in my opinion.… Expand

    'Gameplay is too robotic and arcade-like'? Nonsense. Totally the opposite. I've only played the demo of Fifa 17 which I did enjoy (particularly The Journey) but the difference in gameplay is like night and day. This is buttery smooth compared to Fifa. The animations, the collisions, the amount of different ways to finish - all superior. The presentation will never be able to compete with'Gameplay is too robotic and arcade-like'? Nonsense.

The animations, the collisions, the amount of different ways to finish - all superior. The presentation will never be able to compete with Fifa with all their official licences and their Sķy Sports match day atmosphere but where it counts, on the pitch, is head and shoulders above. Maybe the full release of Fifa 17 will be a lot better but as it stands PES 2017 is so far in my opinion the best football game ever. I'm not against Fifa either as I'll buy that game too as I have done since Fifa '99 as I'm footie mad but last year Pro Evo took over the reins from Fifa for the first time since Pro Evolution Soccer 6 in 2006. This year the gap could be widening significantly.… Expand

    Pro Evolution Soccer vuelve a su esencia, no tendrá todas las licencias que uno quisiera pero a la hora de jugar es diversión pura, donde la jugabilidad lo pone como uno de los mejores juegos de futbol de ultimo tiempo.

    PES 2017 works wonders on the pitch. Its smooth controls, various great game modes and attention to detail make PES an enjoyable football experience. [Oct 2016]

    The most realistic football simulation yet: PES' depth and control are simply stupendous. [Dec 2016, p.88]

    PES 2017 is in many way the game that PES 2016 should have been. It shares the same deep mechanics, but the AI – especially the goalies – is so much better. PES 2017 may be a let down for those who want as many licenses as possible, for everyone else this is one of the best soccer games ever.
