Goodness, it’s like Level-5 never let off the gas. After wowing us with Fantasy Life i earlier this year (an eShop Selects winner, too!), the long-awaited Inazuma Eleven: Victory Road finally launched in November after years of delays and name changes. And, guess what? It’s excellent.
Packed from goal-to-goal, Victory Road is a game that feels like you could play it forever. Heck, you don’t even have to engage with everything, because the central soccer RPG loop is so darn good that you might not want to do anything else. It’s a fabulous return for the series, and has us ever hopeful for that remake.
It’s another 8/10 in our books, meaning that Inazuma Eleven is worth the wait; the Switch 2 version is excellent, too.
