    FIFA 22 adds some big improvements to the way the game functions, and better yet, makes the game feel even better as you play. Add to that some big changes to modes like Career Mode, and FIFA 22 is a huge improvement from past entries.

    Overall, FIFA 22 is more or less what you'd expect from the latest title in such a series. In some areas it impresses, while in others it falls short. The visuals look better than ever and the accessibility options are relatively varied, but the imagery doesn't always hold up and the removal of the single-player mode 'The Journey' seems like a misstep from the developers. While it may not feel as innovative as previous instalments, FIFA 22 is still a worthy sports game that scratches your football itch.

    FIFA 22 might tout next-gen visuals and solid gameplay, but there aren't enough exciting changes to differentiate it from last year's experience.

    Fifa 22 struggles with a massive identity-crisis. Does it want to be a realistic football simulation or as spectacular as possible? The result is rather disappointing. A soulless football game in which every game feels like a match for the Johan Cruijff cup: you can win it, but it really isn't about anything at all.

    Without much surprise, FIFA 22 is unfortunately the logical continuation of all its predecessors. For its first real opus dedicated to new generation consoles, EA doesn’t manage (and doesn’t want) to fix the repetitive flaws that have plagued its franchise for years and chooses instead to improve the gameplay and atmosphere which are major, but secondary aspects. Even graphically, the evolution remains insignificant and it leaves a sour taste. For FIFA fans, the 22nd episode should, however, be a satisfying vintage subject to a patch that could change everything. For lovers of simulation and real football, it’s best to heed the advice of the legendary Gary Lineker: “FIFA is a simple game: 22 clowns dribble with a ball for 90 minutes and in the end, football still manages to be the real loser.”
