Another year. Another Pro Evolution Soccer. Another FIFA. The leaves are falling and soccer balls are in the air.
Where most sports games have their sub-genre locked up (when’s the last time Madden had to compete with anything but its younger self?) soccer is one of the few where there’s still competition. That means fans are faced with the annual conundrum of which to choose. PES usually has more robust underlying mechanics and strategic depth, but FIFA can rarely be beat when it comes to the overall package. Comparing granular differences in how one strike traps the ball compared to another is interesting, but sometimes you just to play as your favorite licensed team and run up the score.
It’s nice to have options though, even there are still only two. Outside of sports simulators, there are plenty of other options, with Cuphead, Danganronpa V3, and Gundam Versus all pulling into the station in the next few days. Variety is the spice of life, after all.
Here’s everything else coming out over the next couple of weeks.
