Summed up, the story of Football Manager 2023 is one that might put the game in a strange position for series veterans. It's an incredible game, and there's no way that fans won't get hundreds of hours of addictive enjoyment out of it. From managing your squad and keeping your players happy to developing the next batch of wonderkids into a team of world-beaters, the experience of building up your club and transforming its fortunes remains as rewarding and engaging as ever.

In fact, multiple iterative improvements and tweaks come together to make Football Manager 2023 the best game in the series. At the same time, however, this is also very much a case of diminishing returns. The gap between yearly FM instalments is feeling smaller than ever, so even though this year's game is an accomplished management sim in more ways than one, it might not necessarily be one that you absolutely have to get if you've already got its immediate predecessor in your library.
