Gameplay and Reviews
Rematch Elite puts gamers in control of athletes in a fast-paced 5v5 match, where players make positioning and timing decisions to score goals and execute effective tackles. Unlike traditional football games, gamers control a single athlete rather than an entire team.
Metro reviewed the game, noting: 'In Rematch, there are quite a few skills to master, among them dribbling tricks, nailing the timing of button stabs to intercept balls passing nearby (the ball acquires a diamond-shaped highlight to indicate when that’s possible).' They added: 'Timing and directing your dives if you’re in goal, and even lobbing passes over incoming players – which requires a modifier rather than a single button press.' However, the review highlighted potentially annoying in-game purchases, stating: 'As with its rival online games, Rematch contains a vast array of cosmetic items and skins which can be purchased using real money (somewhat expensively, in our opinion, especially given that it’s not a free game), although as you progress you do slowly earn currency with which to buy them.'
Customer Feedback and Alternatives
Shoppers at Argos have described the PS5 disc version as having 'smooth and quick' graphics. One shopper said: 'It has great game graphics and game play' and called it 'fun entertainment'. Another noted: 'One happy boy at Christmas. Perfect present for my son who was been asking for this game.'
Another football-inspired game popular with fans is Rocket League, which is free to play across Xbox, PlayStation, and Nintendo Switch consoles.
