Those gripes and wishlish items are minor issues that would be nice to see Big Ant address in future titles, but I don’t want to take anything away from AFL 26. It plays incredibly well and has had a lot of effort put into it, despite being a game that only really has Australia to count on as far as marketability. What’s more, Big Ant’s still patching away. It’s going to be fascinating to see where this one ends up in a year.

Being a fan of AFL video games is a lot like supporting North Melbourne. You convince yourself that things are about to turn around. You latch on to bright spots and get excited about experienced talent returning to steer the ship. But in the end, you often have a miserable experience as you force yourself through each game. Thankfully, AFL 26 bucks this trend with solid gameplay bolstered by a variety of game modes, however there remains many areas for improvement. Holding The Ball AFL 23 had a notoriously bad launch.

AFL 26 is for the fans who love their footy enough to forgive the rough edges, push through the clunky gameplay, and accept the long-standing frustrations that have plagued AFL games for decades and likely always will, to chase their dream of lifting the Premiership Cup. AFL 26 was reviewed using a promotional code on PS5 provided by the developer.
