I honestly cannot suggest this game, even having got it for only about 19 dollars. It's a buggy piece of crap, crashes frequently playing across most modes, crashes when loading user created teams, drafting players, user created rosters, and more times than not you'll never be able to use a created teams alternative jersey option. Very few people have been able to use it let alone create one that stays. The game constantly freezes up for several seconds (not really a giant game breaking type of issue, but certainly something that should've been addressed by now. The core gameplay is certainly worse than 17. It's choppier, players make impossible shots nearly 100% of the time, yet miss wide open shots/layups/dunks. The graphics are sub par at best on a great day for this game too. Especially for a giant game like this one. The company literally doesn't give two ♥♥♥♥♥ about it's community except how to lie and steal our money. As a note, I ONLY bought this game because I wanted nothing else and I got it for under 20 bucks. and I still refuse to suggest it as a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ buy. It's one of the shottiest and buggiest AAA games I've ever played. And I've played Skyrim.

Okay, I barely played this. I honestly didn't give it much time, the gameplay offline was certainly solid, fun, so on. Online I am of no help to anyone since I only did two things. Quick match and creation. Sorry to say, I love creation games and this is literally a very VERY SLIGHTLY upgraded version from pes 2018 let alone all other "next gen" pes's. The visuals otherwise are really stunning, especially for a PC Port of a sports game (since no one likes to do these games well... just look to NBA 2K 18 and 19). The creation is identical on every stage, except for ever so slightly upgraded visuals. Barely noticeable to 17 AND 18. You want realism of any degree with your own self created in game? Learn how to port in/upload you own face mesh. Blender (creation tool that's standalone) is great for this... give it a try if you want. Still the same crappy hair, face, and facial hair visuals for create a player, and I mean crappy... I got better looking of these things in the sims 2 and elder scrolls IV oblivion. if you don't care about creation as I do, this game is definitely worth the look, especially since PC means modding community and PESSmokePatch does a fantastic, professional quality mod for the PES games.

I F*******G LOVE THIS GAME. Sims meets RollerCoaster Tycoon ON STEROIDS... Seriously, it's not without issues, but this game is so much random fun I have to recommend it. Main 3 modes are "career" (set missions in various parks at varying difficulty) Sandbox, and Challenge. There are a couple others I have not messed with yet, but so far I have never been more pleased with a game purchase. Bought roughly 2-3 days ago, have almost 10 hours already (note I work 8+ hours a day), and I've just loved everything. Looks good, so much freaking content, dlc's are great, and it has a WORKSHOP... yes you heard right, CUSTOM CONTENT!!! (Angelic Choir singing that), and there are well over 200K items in the games Steam Workshop page. It also runs really well, can be a little slow sometimes, but hey, it has a LOT of content in game so that's going to happen. I fully recommend this game at full price, 9.7/10 so far from me. (Also full price is 44.99 so not even the normal full price of 59.99 :)

WHAT I REALLY WANT IN THIS GAME, APART FROM BETTER CREATION STUFF (AND FOR EVERY DAMN RACE THEY PUT IN) IS AN UNARMED CHARACTER. I'd love to have a legit original martial arts fighter in this game. Not like that one SC5 guest character, devil jin, but an original one. Or maybe bring an awesome guest character, like maybe RUBY's Yang. Someone like Yang would be fricken' awesome in this game.

As a side note. It says a lot when the only creation set dlc that isn't negative overall is still barely passing the 50% mark. They've truly done a terrible job with the amount of item content and such in this game. That is this games main flaw. I don't understand the point of having unique races like Lizard men, angels, and so on if they barely have any content to create them with. All the content is for the humans. That does piss me off a lot. The game is so much fun, and the characters themselves are made fantastically. The creation system is so lacking though it makes this game a huge disappointment overall in my eyes.

I am rewriting this for obvious reasons. Do you want this game? Only get it on sale. Do you want all the DLC? Well, do you only care about the DLC characters? Then ONLY get those as they come out. Don't bother with the creation sets unless you happen to get the season passes, but honestly they are complete ♥♥♥♥. The creation sets are pathetic. At the very least the time and effort put into the gameplay and characters are certainly there. It's a good game over all. They used Tira as ransom (yes, she was in base game but locked until you paid for her, she is not a character made after the initial launch of the game). and because of the lack of creation content, and the poor dlc creation content, and the fact Tira was held literally at ransom at launch, this game will NEVER be worth full price. Get it only on sale! You play this game for the visuals, if you like 3d fighter games, and the characters. No, they are not as polished as DB Fighterz characters are (they went frame by frame), but the work put into this game in terms of characters and gameplay are awesome, the DLC's that aren't characters... ignor them unless you get the season passes, because frankly, they suck ass.

So, I am not reccommending this game simply due to the learning curve for beginners. It's a well put together game, certainly has a lot of positives, and has decent visuals. I never played tennis, and the games I used to play on console's are not full tennis games (like Mario Tennis, Wii Sports tennis, and the like). This is a really nice mixture of simulation and arcade, but I always start at the lowest difficulty and I could barely get 1 point (15 in tennis terms). Again, lowest difficulty and still could get passed 30. This is a similar reason I left other games, namely Madden NFL which is a game that loves teleporting the defenders to intercept/swat the ball (Madden 18 has improved a lot since the terrible games they put out since Madden 11). I have basic knowledge on tennis, I should be able to win matches/sets etc. but for some reason you really can't. You can all safely get the demo to try it out before purchasing, (I didn't see there was a demo until after I bought). BUT!!!! My personal reasons are not a reflection of the work put into this game. The creation is very extensive and unique, to the point of making stadiums, clothing, rackets, and characters. The gameplay and animations are decent looking and run smoothly enough, and the port as a whole is decent. If it wasn't for the sheer amount of customization and visuals I'd actually say, against everything, this game is not worth 50 bucks. All things considered I still think 50 is stretching it, but it fits it's price tag 1,000 times better than No Man's Sky does (yes they have fixed a lot in that game, still not worth the price though). So all in all, this gets a 59/100 from me, mainly due to the infuriating AI difficulty leveling at the lowest difficulty.

So let's review the better soccer franchise. First off, if you judge this game solely on it's graphical quality being worse than Fifa, I got news for you... FIFA isn't on the PC. Don't compare PC to Console's, it just won't end well. Over all this game is very well optimized for PC, not perfect, but a lot better than so many other games I've tried, like all KOEI TECMO pc ports. Second off, you care about licensing? Really? PESSmokePatch. Get it, learn how to install/download and extract it, because with this being the PC version, licensing means literally nothing. Mods.

The Positives:
-decently optimized for PC
-Edit mode is still impressive overall
-Not using mods enables you to import/create your own teams/players/leagues
-Using mods nullifies all arguments on licensing
-The in match gameplay is objectively better than FIFA (To all saying otherwise, you really just like to chalk up your own failures to play the game up to the AI cheating lol).
-Holy ♥♥♥♥ are the goalie animations incredible, it's my favorite thing about this game. That fact that your goalie looks amazing while saving shots, yet can make the simplest of mistakes adds to the realism. Also a note, I play with a bluetooth controller which means I have lag just in that alone, and I do not have issues (I have NOT played online) with the AI "cheating" their way to goals or wins, and I slide tackle perfectly fine. Sure I get called on them, but not when it's completely and irrefutably not a foul.
- It's not EA, and it's not choppy, slow moving player, EA FIFA bull crap. You really think the way FIFA players move are realistic? You don't pay attention. FIFA went with flashy and good looking, PES 2018 went with realism and smoothness on the actual gameplay. And again, FIFA is not on PC. Objectively in most respects the console version of PES2018 pales to FIFA18. PC PES though thrashes FIFA. If it were on PC, PES would still come out on top. It's all about gameplay, not pretty eyes and 4k armpit hair lol.

This game is not without issues. Especially since it is PC, it takes some getting used to. It has full controller support, but go into the settings under controller and edit the button mapping to be what it would be on Consoles. The button maps by default are not quite right. Some glitches online, some glitches in game, but what games don't have these? It's normal for issues to arise and get fixed and then new ones to appear. Ever play Skyrim? or Skyrim Special Edition which was the edited version that somehow had more glitches on launch than the original launch of Skyrim? Yeah, the AI doesn't cheat, it follows an algorithm, which at times can seem like cheating, and all teams do not pass like Barcelona, seriously? I have yet to see a team pass a specific way... they pass to the best open option at the time they decide to pass. You can close them down, intercept the ball, score off a goalie's bad pass, just like they can do the same if you screw up. The AI doesn't cheat nor all teams pass like Barca.

I really hate Yugioh. I mean, I REALLY hate the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ game. It's an inbalanced, unregulated piece of crap game. Watching at a 2 dollar TWO DOLLAR!!!! buy in tourney held at a kmart for local kids, saw multiple adults there (like middle aged adults, 40's) playing 500 dollar high tier competitive decks against 5 year olds learning on basic structure decks bought in store and loving themselves as they beat a 5 year old. Only one of them toned it down and help the kids learn to play. If you say "but it's a tourney" no, that's still not okay. I lost all respect for the game. But that all being said, no real microtransactions, teaches you the game, easy to get packs of cards (which actually limit how many of each card you get. I mean you can't get ten packs and 10 of one card and 1 of another, each pack set contains a max number of each specific card). This is a good thing for those of you who are curious. This is a thought out Yugioh digital TCG game. Even with it being Yugioh I enjoy it. I give it an 8/10. It's as close to free to play as you can get in today's ages of gaming.

Okay, so first and foremost, this is not a hard business simulator game. I know it sucks, I'd love it all the more if it was one, but it's a SOFT business sim. The devs, I hope they get the go ahead in the future to make JWE 2 and get to do everything they want (If you play their new game Planet Zoo) this game could be hands down the greatest Dino park game ever made. Yes it still lacks some things, but this is a fully licensed game, and Frontier needs to abide by Universal to keep the rights to make this game. Blame Universal Studios, not Frontier for the lack of specific things. They do listen though, Frontier has gotten us so much in the way of new content, and I'm excited to continue playing and see more from them. Right now, while everything is on sale, just by it. Seriously worth the prices for the current discounts. At full price, it's still worth the money, but even my biased buttocks knows on sale it's 1,000 times more so.

So, I really enjoy beat em up games, and RWBY is one of my favorite shows. I love what Monty Oum created with RWBY, and even though his friends and family are doing a fantastic job carrying on his legacy, this game is a very choppy game. Not that I don't like or enjoy it, but it feels clunky, and you constantly get killed by an enemy interrupting your attacks. Still needs some work, but for only 20, it's by far worth giving it a go!

**I returned the game** Now before anything else, it was returned because my controller died on me and I decided to get the game on my PS4 instead of buying a new controller. I did not like using the keyboard.

THAT being said, this game (played just under an hour) is flipping fantastic. Now I am not a fighting game fan (this style at least), and Injustice 1 and 2 I got because DCU, and this one is DBZ!!!!!! My first Anime show and favorite. That's not why it's good though.

*PRO'S*
EAsy to learn
Good tutorial for beginners
Amazing animations (I believe they went through the show frame by frame to get the moves and fighting styles as perfect as possible).
Smooth and well optimized in every way.
Near seamless keyboard defaults
CAN MAP YOUR KEYBOARD BUTTONS WITH THEIR RESPECTIVE XBOX CONTROLLER BUTTONS DISPLAYED NEXT TO THEM!!
Has the competitive side with advanced moves and tactics for weathered players.
Every character is unique, from visuals to move sets, to the animations of each fighter as they fight. Krillin's Kamehameha (The quick version) is small, lower damage and quicker than Goku's same Kamehameha version. Yamcha for the first time ever is VALID, and honestly is the best character. His Wolf Fang style is beautiful.

*Cons*
Using the keyboard is annoying
Some sound issues with the speakers crackling and "shooting" crackling sounds as you run through cut scenes. (This may not happen to everyone, but it is there.)
Character roster, while amazing to it's own extent, lacks characters, but 8 more are coming soon!!!! (By lacks I mean that even though there are a lot of different characters, I'm excited for apparently Broly, Bardock, Janemba, Kefla, Jiren, Toppo, and two others.)

ALL in ALL, 9.7/10 overall!!!!! Whether you get it on Steam, XBox, or PS... it is 100% worth the price tag. I'd hold off of getting the FighterZ PASS (unless you plan on getting the FighterZ Edition version of the game) seeing as we haven't gotten the 8 additional characters yet.
