Arcade sports titles are not nearly as prevalent in the games industry as they used to be, largely falling by the wayside when the sixth console generation ended. Thankfully, smaller developers have begun recognizing how underserved the market is, resulting in projects like Sloclap’sRematch.

The French developer has taken its trademark gameplay complexity and grafted it onto the world’s most popular sport, creating an experience that is easy to understand but hard to master. Achievement hunters will have their work cut out for them, with 36 to collect, as well as the PlayStation platinum trophy. Here’s how to make the most of your time on the pitch.
