PETER HOSKIN reviews Rematch: Part cartoon, part fashion shoot, it's blissfully free of sponsorship deals, extra credit card payments... and best of all, there's no Cristiano Ronaldo
Much like Sifu, Rematch has a pleasing animated style - part cartoon, part fashion shoot - that eschews the photorealism of other football games and is much better for it.
They’ve reduced football to sponsorship deals, big spreadsheets and, worst of all, hundreds of additional credit card payments so that you might get a limited-edition version of Cristiano Ronaldo in a fluorescent green kit designed by a YouTube streamer. That’s when Pipistrello and the Cursed Yoyo was released, just ahead of the new Nintendo Switch 2 and the brilliant Death Stranding 2 — but, even with such riches, I doubt I’ll play many more enjoyable games this year. Pipistrello’s modern urban world isn’t just unusual for the genre, it’s a joy to explore — full of weirdos, puzzles, secrets and genuinely funny gags.
