- Ultimately, UFC 5 is in an interesting space – it’s a sports sim that also holds appeal for casual fighting fans. While not perfect, this is the best rendition of the sport to date, and a great launching point to take the series in exciting, new, more narrative-driven directions.
Brad Bortone · Jan 09, 2024 Reviewed on Series X|SRead full review - Bringing players even closer to the real thing, UFC 5 is by far the best MMA gaming experience available in the market.
Jake Su · Nov 01, 2023 Reviewed on PS5Read full review - Everything that happens inside the octagon in EA SPORTS UFC 5 is the best adaptation of the UFC that has been seen in a video game form to date. The game is violently beautiful, playing quick and tight with adding new ways to improve the gameplay of the series.
Cory Wells · Nov 01, 2023 Reviewed on PS5Read full review - EA Sports UFC 5 is a solid, if not particularly inventive, follow-up in the series. It can be fun, warts and all, but long-time fans will want for more.
Ravi Sinha · Oct 30, 2023 Reviewed on PS5Read full review - After a fairly great entry in UFC 4, EA Sports returns with another stellar entry in its fighting series. The addition of a deeper impact system, changes to the submission system, and new striking mechanics make UFC 5 not only more fun to play, but just as thrilling as its predecessors have been.
Anthony J Nash · Oct 30, 2023 Reviewed on Series X|SRead full review - EA Sports UFC 5 deftly combines elements from sports simulation and fighting games into the best overall MMA game yet.
Tanner Smith · Oct 28, 2023 Reviewed on PS5, Series X|SRead full review - EA Sports UFC 5 es un gran juego de lucha que recrea como nunca esta exitosa competición, tanto su puesta en escena como su lado más bestia gracias a un espectacular sistema de daños y gran modelado de los púgiles. Aunque en general es un juego continuista en muchos aspectos, el modo Carrera online es uno de sus grandes aciertos.
Alberto Lloret · Oct 28, 2023 Reviewed on PS5Read full review - EA Sports UFC 5 fulfills its premise and sets a new standard for the franchise through a huge leap in overall immersion and the debut of the game-changing Real Impact System. But the lack of attention given to other areas may underwhelm those who were hoping for something more.
Franklin Bellone Borges · Oct 27, 2023 Reviewed on PS5Read full review - UFC 5 is a must buy for fight fans and an easy entry point for newcomers to get into the action.
Philip Watson · Oct 27, 2023 Reviewed on Series X|SRead full review - UFC 5 is the best release in the franchise. The new submission system is a massive improvement on previous iterations and the cinematic knockouts never get old.
