Critic reviews
- "It's in the game", again.
- 7.0GOOD NHL 27’s on-ice action may have become smarter, but the overall product has barely changed at all. A copy of this game was provided by Developer/Publisher/Distributor/PR Agency for review purposes.
- NHL 27 (PlayStation 5) Review – 6.5/10: It’s evident NHL 27 is a leap year for the franchise as it doesn’t innovate on the modes and immersion already present.
- NHL 27 is the best version of console hockey in ages. New gameplay improvements and a refined presentation produce a stellar result.
- 6.0After a week on the ice, this is the best-looking roster update EA has ever shipped. Come read our full NHL 27 review!
