Pro Evolution Soccer 2018 Reviews
Pro Evolution Soccer 2018 is not just a simple soccer game, it is THE soccer game. The graphics are impressive and realistic, and a great number of teams that you can choose will guarantee many hours of fun, either online or offline. If the lack of license makes some players turn their back on it, it is the perfect and most close to reality gameplay that makes PES 2018 the best soccer game ever created.

Whether playing online or off, there's a huge amount to do here and a huge amount to love about it. Put the effort in and you're repaid with a genuine sense of satisfaction and a feeling of real accomplishment. Once again, PES has set an incredibly high level of quality for other sports games to try and match.
PES 2018 is almost a carbon copy of the 2017 edition... until the start of the match. Konami has improved the gameplay in every possible way. It's a pity that game modes and options at this point more than dated.

Overall, what PES 2018 lacks in authenticity, it more than makes up for in gameplay. Bettering its predecessor on the pitch, PES 2018 is another fantastic entry in the series.
Konami has done it again, they made a perfect football game even more perfect. The ball control feels even more accurate, animations are the best in the gaming scene, visually the game looks really beautiful and the overall presentation has been improved too. Football fans that like tactical and realistic play should buy PES 2018 IMMEDIATELY!
At times it seems indistinguishable from last year's game, but the slower play speed and improved controls work well and make this the best PES yet.
Everything we have seen since the announcement of this 2018's edition, is in the final version which will release this week. Konami has always mastered the graphic aspect of his title and really improves the technical part, although the management of contacts between players needs to be improved. Pro Evolution Soccer 2018 marks the beginning of a new era for the franchise, and we hope that Konami will be more reactive to transfers and that the atmosphere will improve in the future. Let it be said, the title is not here to play as an extra, but wants to make an impression with a long awaited revolution. PES 2018 restores the franchise's reputation.

While it doesn't address some longstanding degradation of ingenuity in certain areas, PES 2018 provides the best pure football found in a videogame, and the additions it has made only amplify that.
The new edition of PES does not offer a revolution. But you need to remember that Pro Evolution Soccer 2018 doesn’t need one – it’s a great sporting game that just got a little better. Ball control improvement and additions in Master League are welcome, but the small number of licenses is not (as usual). But all in all it’s still a very good game.

Not only is Pro Evolution Soccer 2018 the best football game in terms of graphics, it is the best I have experienced in terms of gameplay. The level of detail and player likenesses create a game that comes as close to you'll get to the real thing. There are still a few minor issues with presentation, and perhaps a few more changes could have been made to Master League and Become a Legend, but I'm clutching at straws here. The gameplay is near perfection, the AI and goalkeepers are improved, Konami have added further licenses to their product, and the graphics are amazing. Hopefully the servers are ready for online and with just a few minor presentation improvements to be improved on, PES really has set the bar of what a football game should be.
If you are a football fan but you are horrified by the last year's game, you can buy PES 2018 without thinking.

Pro Evolution Soccer 2018 returns to old strength with a solid portion of realism and a phenomenal visual presentation. The AI could be a bit better on the defense and also the tactical menu in-game feels kinda outdated but besides that fans of soccer simulations will get the series again at their best.

Konami have upped their game again. Your move EA.
PES 18 is a sublime football game and will forever more having you say “one more game"
The best football game FIFA fans have never played. Period.
Over the past many years PES series has improved vastly. Then again, there’s no end when it comes to improvements. There are areas where PES can improve in the coming years, specially improving the AI and addition off game elements to break the monotony.
On the pitch Pro Evolution Soccer 2018 is the undisputed football king, but around that there is too much stagnation.

The new gameplay changes and additions mean PES continues to be a great experience. The Master League, however, needs to take a similar step forward
PES 2018 is a solid performer in the world of football games, recapturing the wonderful game as it so often does. There’s, as always, room for improvement, especially on the aesthetic side of things, but with the gameplay as good as it is, with those incredible player likenesses and smooth animations.
PES 2018 almost reaches perfection in gameplay, but its offer of licenses and game modes is still not enough for an outstanding overall.
