PES 2019 is an evolution of the previous title improving what was seen and offering one of the best experiences of the saga.

An essential slice of football heaven, but some neglected game modes are going stale. [Nov 2018, p.72]

PES 2019 is the best game in the series for this generation. It has the most realistic football, but it also lacks significant licensing and has a slow pace that may not please everyone.

PES 2019 is probably the best football game around once you're on the pitch, thanks to its great gameplay, great variety and tactical options; unluckily, though, the whole package feels outdated due to the lack of important licenses and new features.

PES 2019 is the ideal game for the football purist, but don’t expect to be blown away by new stuff.

The only way to ensure that players don’t forego buying PES 2019 in favor of FIFA 19 is to hope that they stick with the controls long enough for them to appreciate the deeper mechanics that make PES 2019 so good.

Pro Evolution Soccer 19 is a fun one to play. Unfortunately, I’m already thinking of ways Konami can improve it for next year’s version (I’ll still be playing PES 19 though!).
