It’s tough for any football title to compete with the juggernaut that is
EA Sports FC
– but what
Rematch
has really got going for it is that, while it lacks real-world names, it’s probably the most authentic recreation of the game itself. That’s true right down to how much a match will make you sweat as if you’ve been running around the pitch yourself.
Instead of controlling a whole team where you switch between players, you control one person in a five-a-side setup, which in gaming terms is more like a team-based multiplayer such as Overwatch. You could even compare it to a shooter, because kicking the ball also involves aiming with a crosshair then pulling back the trigger. Just don’t expect any crazy gimmicky abilities: whether it’s simply passing the ball or aiming for the top corner, playing well is all down to your own skill – and also working as a team.
