Michael Kitchin writes, "With a name like eFootball PES 2021 Season Update, I was expecting last season's game with updated leagues and kits. Cosmetically, it's exactly that but the action on the pitch has seen some interesting changes. The matches are a touch more physical and new animations show that some work has gone into the engine. It plays differently from last year and is compelling to learn. Away from the pitch, things feel largely stationary and it's clear that's where the compromises lie. I enjoy it but it's clear this falls short of feeling like a fully-fledged sequel."
"With FIFA's fanbase in open revolt, the continued irrelevance of PES and neither soccer title serving the single player particularly well, now would be the perfect time for 'This is Football' to return." - TechStomper
Neil writes: "When Konami delivered the eFootball PES 2021 update across all formats back in September 2020, many fans were left disappointed that there wasn't the usual annual update for their favourite football game. But credit where credit is due and those behind the game have continued to update the experience with multiple Data Packs and features. Today, just as players get ready for the upcoming UEFA EURO 2020 tournament, Data Pack 6.0 rolls out, alongside confirmation that Data Pack 7.0 will soon follow."
Neil writes: "Konami have gone all out with the introduction of many new team partners over the last few months, and today they are adding another to the group - and this time round we see Lazio and Paul Gascoigne arrive."
