There’s a wider variety of shots and saves, and wing play makes a return with a buff to dribbling. PES 2021’s handful-or-so small changes add up a more complete experience. In PES 2021, the menus, player screens, team introductions, presentation and modes are all identical to PES 2020 apart from a slight colour change and the addition of a new soundtrack. All of these changes freshened up the look of the game dramatically and it was easy to spot the advancements from PES 2019 to PES 2020. PES 2020 introduced some bold tweaks such as a new camera angle, unique dribbling mechanics and an overhauled interactive Master League experience. Similar to a remaster of a classic title, sometimes it’s difficult to highlight non-visual changes or big mode expansions. It’s challenging to review a game that feels overly familiar. But new on-pitch refinements and added m圜lub content make PES 2021 a worthy entry in the long-running football game franchise and an excellent entry point for new fans – especially at the special ‘anniversary price’ of £25.

Yes, there are still areas that need to be improved, and the lack of a new mode might hurt the longevity of this year's edition.
