Captain Tsubasa: Rise of New Champions
I have played this game first on Switch for 2 weeks, and then on Steam, and the problems are similar;
This game suffers from frequent crashes, specially if you go online and play multiplayer, where at times the game will lag to a halt, and then it’s up to one of the two players to voluntarily agree to shut down their game and take a loss so both players can be done with it and continue playing.
On the one hand, I thoroughly recommend this game to fans of the anime/manga, as this game is beautifully animated and accurately goes through the main story of the manga. I love that even after 200+ hours of gameplay, I still manage to find new scenes hidden within the very intricate friendship mechanic this game has, it’s like the only time i’ve ever truly enjoyed a visual novel type game. The gameplay itself is fun and I can’t put it down, despite the game’s glaring flaws.

I kinda wish Steam had a “mixed” review opinion, but when I remember why I decided to write this review in the first place anyway, the thumbs down is kinda deserved. Don’t get me wrong, the game isn’t bad, in fact, it has so much potential, but sadly the potential it has is kinda limited by really bad design decisions. Normally, this review was more informative about Captain Tsubasa series, but I hit the character limit so kiss bye bye to those.
I won’t really go on on positives and negatives (actually, I will rant about the bad game design after this paragraph), but I will just tell why and when you should buy this game. The game’s an action-sports game, and like I mentioned before, it plays according to its own mechanics, and it’s nothing unlike feefur or PESbabs. Now the mechanics are pretty straightforward, and truth be told, they are fun to pull off as you dribble through the entire opponent team and pull a flashy shot. However, it does get kinda old by time and there are not that many teams or even story modes, so you have been warned. I also think the game is a bit pricey, especially if you are in a 3rd world country, but hey, I mean… it could be a Paradox game with 500$ worth of DLCs. WHEEZE

Ganbare! Super Strikers
Basic rundown
Ganbare! Super Strikers is a fun little game that focuses on the strategic layers of football, rather than fast action and quick decisions. It features XCOM-like turnbased gameplay, where you have a limited amount of actions per character, that you can use to move, tackle, pass, shoot and do other things that are common in football.
Clearly inspired by the old Captain Tsubasa nintendo games and sports animes/mangas, you have individual characters and teams with certain signature moves and/or behaviors/themes, that the player has to overcome. Those themes are mostly based around certain status effects like freeze, sleep, poison or simply increased stats and therefore higher chances for shooting, dribbling and so on.

Simple yet quite fun to play. However, there’s a an annoying bug, which freezes the game whenever you apply multiple debuffs to your opponent. Only get this game when it is on sales.

Chibi Volleyball
Full review at: https://thegamehoard.com/2019/08/04/chibi-volleyball-pc/
While perhaps not what a fan of the chibi art style would want or a good adaptation of volleyball, Chibi Volleyball is instead a bit of a polished up and more brightly colored version of the kinds of extremely retro sports games where it was more about the physics of the objects on screen than being a true simulation. The gameplay is simple, reliable, and accessible, making it easy to play for a bit, and with AI opponents who put up a good fight despite being slightly robotic at times, it’s quite possible to get a decently challenging volley going in either 1 on 1 or 2 on 2. Some tinkering with settings will help with aspects like the hit limit, but Chibi Volleyball’s amount of customizability allows you to set up matches that feel different and have extra considerations like floating blocks and different ball weights. It does feel like an orphaned minigame rather than a standalone title, but its fundamentals are sound even though it would definitely have benefited from more content to prevent the inevitable staleness.

This is a very simple yet very fun game for me, I controls are smooth and it may take a little while to get used to but they are soooo cute I don’t even mind losing…I would love to see this become a online PVP game with rankings and tournaments and with the ability to create your own Chibi but for now this is still very fun. Thank You Very Much to the game Devs. I don’t mind supporting this game and I would love to see even more content somewhere down the road, I am going to give this game Two V’s UP…thank you for this game…Ja Ne VV

Street Power Football
A few things here. First, it’s nice to see a Street Sport game again. It feels like it’s been too long since we’ve seen a solid attempt at bringing this kind of fast action, arcade style sports title back. Second, as much as I did enjoy my time with this, how are there so many oversights and it still sells at a whopping $50? Anyone who grew up playing the original Street series knows that playing with controller is the way to go. And yes, the game supports controller. But no, it doesn’t give controller button mapping in it’s interface and tutorials. This huge road block might be enough to discourage new players from sticking around. Figuring out the controller scheme on the fly is NOT fun. Especially when you consider all the game mechanics at play here. Tricks, shooting, passing, Panna (which is humiliating your opponent in a rhythm-based minigame) are all extra challenging when you’re programming your brain to press a certain button aligned with the onscreen key prompt.

Street Power Football has a lot of ups and downs. The different game modes are fun. The music and art style are great. However there are a lot times where i feel like the game doesn’t live up to the price it sets. Animations can be tough at times and there are some jarring visuals with the Green screen presentation of Sean Garnier.
There is a lot of fun though to be had, but i would say be cautious. You may not find exactly what you’re looking for here.

Madden NFL 21
If you’re looking for a realistic football simulating video game that gives you a half-way authentic NFL experience….keep looking. This year’s installment of the annual abortion that is Madden is BRIMMING with impactful bugs, scarily consistent crashes, and (assuming you’ve successfully navigated thru all of that) an entirely bland and unsatisfying simulation of the typical NFL game. Not only has this game been horribly adapted to PC, but it is entirely consistent with it’s long line of predecessors. The gameplay can only be described as “The Game of Football” according to what a native resident of Bangladesh heard of American Football was like from his Pen Pal in Saudi Arabia. Yes, you are technically running and passing the football against some character models that vaguely resemble (that’s an understatement…there’s really 0 resemblance among all of the players) NFL athletes, but the comparison to how a normal game of football plays out stops there abruptly. Without wildly changing the “Gameplay Sliders” (yes you can literally alter everything about the gameplay which to me is the Devs admitting “hey we really don’t know how impactful any aspect of this sport is so we’ll let you figure out that little detail) the game is wholly inauthentic. Adjusting the sliders makes the game a tad more realistic but overall this title is the epitome of why Madden is one of the shining examples of bare minimum effort put into a game for the sake of raking in annual sales. If you’re not one of the chumps like me who bought this game I implore you not to. The only way these games can become even halfway realistic is if EA takes a hit to their sales and recognizes that minimal investment will yield minimal return.

For years, football fans have yearned for a game with NFL licensing made by any company other than EA. The most cited competitor is generally 2K, who last made an NFL licensed game in 2004 - ESPN NFL 2K5 - one of the most well-received sports games of all time. ESPN NFL 2K5 was almost the nail in the coffin for Madden. The game received more critical acclaim than Madden 2005, while being priced $30 cheaper at a mere $20. I received the game as a Christmas gift that year, and played it for hundreds, if not thousands of hours. I can attest that its ambitions even 16 years ago were way beyond the scope of anything Madden has done since then. It is truly a tragedy for someone like me, who saw so much potential in football games back then, to see what football games have become today.

TLDR: Controls badly. Xbox pad not working. Cheaply made for a low quality experience.
Controls are not intuitive. Audiovisuals are bottom of the ladder. Mechanics are simple. Might make you smile because of art direction but it can only entertain for so long. Xbox360 pad was not behaving in any coherent manner with this title. If this had proper controller support and maybe some tweaked mechanics it might had been funny as a couch game to play with buddies but I somehow doubt it. Removed for declutter.

Free Kick X
Attractive young girls + footy = fun for Rod from Hull.
– Real player with 8.9 hrs in game
Information / Review English
Free Kick X is a Sports game that was developed by Seito Games and is still in the Early Access Phase.
Gameplay / Story
In Free Kick X, your task is to master challenges in the form of free kicks through tactical thinking, in which you convert free kick goals directly,as we know it from the normal soccer game. So you shoot a soccer ball by moving the mouse around the wall, through the wall, over the wall, etc. You can choose from several nations. It’s not men, but scantily clad women in bikinis who accompany you through the game. As an introduction, there is also a training mode available to learn about the game. The whole thing is accompanied by relaxed music.

eFootball™ 2022
I can’t recommend it at this state
PES turns into Efootball and joins the style of a Live service game, where updates can happen more frequently over seasons & years.
A quick pro’s and con list after 4 hours of play.
PRO’s
-
The idea of the new dribbling
-
The concept of the new defending mechanics
-
Instant play from ball boys without cutting away
-
Some Quality of life changes (Like Condition arrow stat updates shown in game plan)
-
Some ‘‘immersive’’ clean extra (pre match) cutscenes

Ok. i will leave a Honest review on This. First of all sorry for my bad english, is not my primary leangue. This game is Worst then i originaly thoutgh. First of all you will notice an extreme LAG. secound of all i have not found many elementary settings like changing the control combo presets. They said that this is with a new engine and from the ground up. It is litaraly worse then pes 2017 and FIFA mhm let’s say 2005. This is not “the ultimate e-football experience” by far! Now i want you to know that this is a day one review so a lot can change but the simple fact that u have 20 fps is absurd. IT IS very blury and pixelated. probabaly wont buy any DLC or career mode for this.. is litaraly unacceptable. Konami shoud sell they liciences and go make a flash game. Please just don’t expect much from this. if they dont fix the absolut lag and bad looking graphics.. i mean dude the PITCH looks like its litaraly drawn on paint on windows 98. If they don’t fix this game witch is pathetic pes is oficialy dead!
