Despite being a rival football game, Rematch is no simple recreation of FIFA, according to devs who argue that the two titles are trying to capture completely different parts of the experience of playing.
Speaking to PC Gamer, creative director Pierre Tarno explained that Rematch is all about making players “feel like an amazing athlete.” Developer Sloclap, he explains, wants you “to feel the high-stakes pressure of football. We were trying to get to that core essence of at least part of what makes football so much fun and a beautiful sport.”
That’s the aim behind Rematch, which puts you in control of a single player in small-sided football matches rather than overseeing an entire 11-person team. That oversight, Tarno says, can make FIFA seem “so disconnected from how it actually feels to play football” – something that Rematch doesn’t suffer from.
