"But lacks the relatively big features that are usually used to justify a new version of an annually released game." "Through small tweaks and refinements, FIFA 21 plays as well as it has done in recent memory," writes the IGN reviewer. The main complaint is that there aren't enough significant new features. Interestingly, while IGN's FIFA 21 rating of 7/10 is solid, it is down on the rating the same reviewer gave to FIFA 20, which was 7.8/10. The Guardian's review is particularly glowing, handing the game a 4/5 rating with the observation that "football has been hard to enjoy in 2020, but FIFA 21 certainly makes it easier".Īnother high rating is given by Gamespot, which suggests that "FIFA 21 feels like a swan song for the current generation of sports games" in light of the impending launch of PS5 and Xbox Series-X consoles.
#Fifa 21 review upgrade
Reviews of FIFA 21 have mostly been positive, but the consensus view appears to be that it is a game that is essentially a minor upgrade on FIFA 20, with new skins and only few tweaks to existing features. 'A lick of paint on football's gaming behemoth' 'Have EA created a game better than football in the real world?' 'High-scoring fun marred by pay-to-win loot boxes - again' 'FIFA 21 is an ageing forward, limping towards retirement'

'Textbook finishes followed up with head-scratching own-goals'

'Small improvements with much to enjoy, but little to shout about.'
