Pro Evolution Soccer 2018 Reviews
Pro Evolution Soccer 18 is another viable competitor to EA's FIFA dominance, though the same familiar shortcomings continue to plague the franchise.
In general we have to say that we have found ourselves in front of a clearly good and well-structured title that makes interesting changes to the past, both at the technical and gameplay level. A title that simulates his main work, leaving the game too arcade and focusing instead on a more studied and strategic game. In short, a really worthy note that we are sure will be able to hold our rival.

PES 2018 is an amazing experience without any doubt. Sure it still has some bugs and issues - and I’m not going to lie they are a pain in the neck sometimes - but the game is still enjoyable. Konami has used the good old formula for this game again and with making some improvements they have made this game a more enjoyable experience than the last one. PES is getting better and better each year but there is still a long path ahead of them to become exactly what the fans want.

Pro Evolution Soccer 2018 retains its crown of offering the best gameplay in a football game this year. The lack of new content is disappointing although the improvements to the gameplay somehow make up for it.
I can't recommend it enough, and I urge everyone to give it a try because it's the kind of title that can provide a lot of fun, even if you are a fan of other similar football sims. And you can't get better praise than that.
To sum up, PES 2018 is divided into 2 sections. The first one, is related to the matches and the gameplay, where you take control of the players and start the game. In this part you'll face a magnificent aspect of a football simulation. On the other hand, the second part, which is out of the field, is where you're supposed to be amused by the modes and cases like this. But weak servers, outdated offline parts and the same old issues about the licenses has caused PES 18, not to reach it's full potential. Even by ignoring the inevitable license problem, the modes being not so amusing at all is an unforgivable matter.

Konami didn't want the Pro Evolution Soccer 2018 to be a great leap forward, or a great evolution for the series. But instead they focused on making the game's strengths even better and this decision totally pays off and PES 2018 is the best in the series so far.

Pro Evolution Soccer 2018 picks up where the last iteration left off but fails to make the same impact. On field improvement mean PES retains top spot as best football game on the market but there's still something lacking
PES 2018 is an exceptionally successful simulation of the football match. Better physics of the ball, the better physics of the players and slowing down the match came out to be a good idea. Unfortunately, it's Konami - the company had to break something.

You definitely can't go wrong buying Pro Evolution Soccer 2018, as it plays as good as ever, but those who bought last year's game might want to wait until next year's installment if they're waiting for that next evolution. That's not to say that there aren't improvements, as the subtle tweaks and additions do add up to a better game, but these are more quality of life fixes rather than changes that'll sweep the player off their feet. Ultimately, PES 2018 is yet another great football game from Konami, but that might not be enough when they're trailing a behemoth.
Pro Evolution Soccer 2018 is, simply, the most realistic rendition of the beautiful game so far. While the atmosphere is lacking and game modes are in need of some improvement. Konami still desperately need to overhaul the commentary and fix the licensing issues. Fortunately, the on-pitch action more than makes up for any problems you may encounter.
PES 2018 it's the confirmation that the franchise of Konami is evolving into the total football, with a gameplay that captures amazingly the details of this sport, and where the stars, the players, are astonishing real with a photorealistic style. It's a shame the lack of licences, but if you really care about soccer, PES 2018 should be your bet this season

PES 2018 almost reaches perfection in gameplay, but its offer of licenses and game modes is still not enough for an outstanding overall.

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.
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
On the pitch Pro Evolution Soccer 2018 is the undisputed football king, but around that there is too much stagnation.

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.
The best football game FIFA fans have never played. Period.
PES 18 is a sublime football game and will forever more having you say “one more game"
