GameSpotEddie MakuchOct 20209/10EA's NHL 21 is a success thanks to its improved story mode, exciting new skill moves, and excellent controls.

Digital ChumpsBenjamine BranscumSep 20179.1/10While it holds up some similarities to NHL 20, there is enough to go into the rink, lace up your skates, and hit the ice.

StevivorSteve WrightOct 20208.5/10There’s no denying NHL 21 is a tight little package — in fact, it’s been years in the making (click that and thank me later) — but that’s because EA Vancouver is doing everything it can to refine a polished hockey game year-on-year. NHL 20 introduced or improved most of the items that feature inside this, so unless you’re super into single-player modes like Be a Pro, you could get away with buying it instead of this. If you’re into multiplayer, well, you have to upgrade; I don’t need to convince you. I’m ultimately rather pleased with NHL 21, but still have to throw some shade at EA for choosing not to support this on next-gen consoles in any way. Boo.

Prima GamesOct 20205/10If you’re heavily gameplay-driven, you’ll probably have a love/hate relationship with World of Chel and Hockey Ultimate Team that’ll leave you scratching your head. And with no next-gen version of the game coming later on like Madden 21 and FIFA 21, it might be a good time to take a year off from “Chel.”
