FM is back in it's 'final' year and better than ever. The changes may seem small on first look, but they make all the difference.

The tactical changes, the squad planner improvements and other things polish off what was already a decent game last year and make the final evolution of Football Manager as we know it one of the best.

FM25 is going to change a lot of things, especially system requirements, so going forward this version might well be the best version for those with lower end systems. Plus, with it being the first on a new graphical engine, there may well be a number of issues and ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ that FM25 onwards need to resolve, so FM24 might again be the better game to stick with until things settle down.

Definitely worth picking up, especially if you can find it discounted.

The same again for another year really.

Is it massively different from FM22? No. But then successive versions typically arn't.

The new features are nice enough, and the game works as well as I expect it to. There are signs of improvements being made, which we'll probably see the full flourish of in a few versions perhaps. This seems to be the development model SEGA/SI choose for the game. Is it great? not really. But it does give some stability across versions.

Whilst I'd love for there to be improvements in key areas, and maybe SI exploring AI in things like the press and player interactions, I've enjoyed the game enough to say if you like FM, you'll like FM23 for the most part.

FM returns again and is on form once again. The changes made, whilst not all huge, add up to make the game a little more interesting.

I found FM21 a bit lacking, but I couldn't figure out quite how. FM22 so far doesn't feel like that.

Loved both games in this collection when they were first released. If anything, Red Alert a bit more as it was just that little bit more fun.

The graphics improvements look good, though the video cut scenes still look cheesy as they ever did.

The updates to the game are good overall I think.

Only seems to work reliably using the DirectX 9 mode. Constant random crashes under Direct X 11.

It means I can't get the enhanced features to work, but I don't mind. The game itself is as good as I remember from years ago playing it.

Fun, as to be expected by Civ games. Great for online/lan multiplayer with friends. Rather enjoy it.
