If it were up to me, we’d all just go back to Pro Evolution Soccer 2. Peter Brackley on commentary. The ‘We Will Rock You’ opening FMV. Hammering in free kicks with Del Piero and Roberto Carlos. But the world of football games has moved on. FIFA has separated from EA, heralding the arrival of FC 25, and my beloved PES has mutated into eFootball, which hasn’t been good since the 2021 season update. I like the look of Rematch, the stylized, almost beat-’em-up-style alternative from Sifu developer Slocap, but for a real simulation game, right now it feels like the FC series or nothing. But wait. After a handful of tests on other platforms, fresh rival UFL is finally playable on PC, and it’s free, too.
