Review

NHL 26 elevates the franchise to new heights with profound advancements in gameplay mechanics and player engagement. The introduction of ICE-Q 2.0, powered by NHL EDGE data, brings a level of realism and strategy that allows players to replicate the playing styles of their favorite superstars. The addition of X-Factors further enriches the gameplay, offering a staggering array of 28 abilities that provide personalized play styles. Players will especially appreciate the overhaul of the Be A Pro mode, which now allows for a more life-like career progression from rookie to superstar, making every match feel significant as you shape your own hockey journey. However, some players may find the integration of monetization in HUT Seasons a bit daunting, and occasional server issues could impede the overall online experience. Despite these minor drawbacks, NHL 26 stands out as a must-play title for fans looking to experience a thrilling and dynamic hockey simulation.
