The first Tsubasa game in around a decade, I love this type of shit so I can overlook a lot of the game modern flaws. You only buy this game for the story mode, which is an adaptation of the 2018 anime and it's divided into 2 parts; the National Tournament being Tsubasa story and International Junior Youth Tournament being the career mode. The latter being really fun, being able to create your own character and befriend your teammates to learn their skills. There's some FIFA bullshit they tried to implement with card openings and stuff, thankfully it didn't really have any impact on my playthrough.

It's fun to play and it looks great, quite frustrating at the beginning with a lot of cheap shit such as unblockable shots, especially in the Tsubasa story. However once you get to the Career Mode, you're pretty broken, considering you have the best players in the national team and they keep learning/getting better skills so... you just fuck everyone up, unless they have a good goalkeeper, then it can get pretty exciting.

And that's about it, you have a VS mode and a multiplayer with weird FIFA mechanics which I could not give a shit about, specially considering there's barely anyone playing it and it runs like ass. Had a lot of fun and it took me around 15 hours to beat, but I can't really recommend unless you're heavily into this type of games or Tsubasa in general.
