Rematch, the challenging new online football game hitting Game Pass, immediately transported me back to my school's playground
A look at Rematch, the new football game that changes the perspective to capture the hectic pace of the sport.
It's most memorable for me in FIFA 97 (the one with legend David Ginola on the European cover art), although unlike in Rematch the gameplay on the 32-Bit systems of the time is viewed from the side of the pitch, with you essentially possessing whichever player has the ball. You're always playing with and against other humans online in Rematch, whether it's a bunch of friends who you regularly party up with or a group of randoms, and thus the school playground feeling is thrust front and centre. I've got to grips with the fundamentals of passing and shooting so that I'm not a complete embarrassment, but I still find myself diving in comical fashion as my hands flail nowhere near the ball, with replays confirming I was beaten by shots even the previously lambasted school children could have saved.
