eFootball PES 2021 Reviews
Aside from a handful of updates, PES 2021 is the same as last year's game.
Nothing less or more than what was promised. Still the best football game around but its problems feel more glaring a year later.
If you've already got PES 2020 and have found other means to update the squads and kits, there's very little of note here. The changes are minimal and this edition is likely just for those who decided against picking up the previous entry. But if a cheaper version of PES has you interested this is a great starting point. Yes, there are plenty of issues with the modes, commentary and AI but most of that just fades into insignificance when you're actually playing a game. Until the next-gen version arrives next year, this is the best representation of football you'll find.
eFootball PES 2021 Season Update offers a rather plain scenario. Returning fans will find nothing new here, except for rosters that still manage to be out of date, and thus present poor value for the purchase. But perhaps newcomers will use this opportunity to finally jump in at a reduced price and see what the franchise is all about.
eFootball PES 2021, as an annual update and priced at $ 30, still can not be a good option to buy. The game has been released in most parts without any changes compared to before, and in the parts that we are witnessing changes, these changes have been to the detriment of the game experience. The lack of licenses of Milan and Inter is also considered as one of the new shortcomings of the game. Finally, buying the new game is not recommended for 2020 owners at all, but if you have not experienced last year's version, the $ 30 eFootball PES 2021 could be a good option to experience the latest version of the series in the eighth generation of consoles.

eFootball PES 2021 Season Update reissues the same, excellent game of last year with updated players and licenses. Seen the budget price, it's recommended to soccer lovers that didn't play the previous game, while it's hard to suggest it to fans who spent tens or thousands of hours on PES 2020.

The eFootball PES 2021 Season Update is certainly not a brilliant version or even a good downloadable content, but it is acceptable for two reasons; One is to establish a formula that the author believes reflects the gameplay and the green rectangle, and the other is the honesty of the manufacturer and publisher not to produce new content and halve the final price of the product, which we hope will create a new wave and culture for sports games. Create annually. Of course, all of these interpretations are worthwhile if the PES and Konami development team pave the way for next year's next-generation version and fill the void left in this year's version with a stunning display.

eFootball PES 2021 share the same core components as its predecessor, the 2020 version, and other than some minor improvements in gameplay, there is no point in upgrading to the new version. If you really care about new kits, faces and updated line-ups, this seasonal update might make sense, but if you don't care about all this then you wouldn't miss much if you stick with the 2020 version.

eFootball PES 2021 Season Update is last years game at a cut price with mostly up to date rosters. It's a beautiful game to play, marred by significant presentation issues and the lack of any killer game modes.
Konami is effectively taking a year off because it knows it has the basis of something special here and it wants to ensure it makes an effective transition to the PlayStation 5; we can respect that. But with barely any changes and the abovementioned licensing shortcomings, we’d recommend you just pick up last year’s game for a couple o' quid instead.
PES 2021: Season Update is a great football game if you're new to the series, but veterans should just update their existing copies of PES 2020 with this season's squads and kits. Mid-table finish for me, Clive.
PES Productions' honesty is commendable. This is a package meant for football diehards that love the PES formula and want the latest rosters, without going through the trouble of downloading fam-made patches for last year's title.

Don't bother with PES 2021 if you can option file PES 2020, but if you're coming in fresh, PES 2021 is a decent shout at a decent price.
Unfortunately, all of the positives that stem from better gameplay are diminished a little by stale modes and lackluster online play. If you enjoyed eFootball PES 2020 last year, you'll have some fun with this update as it improves on gameplay. However, if you skipped last year's game and have to pay full price, I'd probably pass. There's just not enough improvements off-the-pitch to warrant $60.
The late version of the PES saga, eFootball PES 2021 Season Update is what we already expected, an update with slighty playable improvements, a facelift especially in color, but keeping all the good (and the bad) of the previous game. Fans will be pleased, but they deserve a 2022 title that breaks with everything.

With it costing half the price of a full retail release, it makes eFootball PES 2021 Season Update well worth the price of admission
