Cool! It's by the devs of Sifu. I was keeping an eye on it until I found that it multiplayer only.
May still give it a try if all friends want to get it but seems less likely.
How are liking it?
It's very fun. I have played football all my life and always wanted a game like this to play virtually with other people at home. A couple of years ago I had to give up the sport due to a bad knee injury, so to be able to play again albeit in an arcadey video game is so satisfying.
It's probably not as fun for people who aren't football fans or players, as I think a lot of the enjoyment comes from aspects that are unique to the sport rather than traditional video game elements. A good comparison is the Camelot Mario sports games on the N64. They weren't hardcore simulations or anything, but were still focused largely on the core principles of the sport, as opposed to newer Mario sports games or the Mario Strikers series which are very silly and not really designed for sports lovers.
I am not a hardcore football fan, but have played a bit here and there, also used to play Fifa a lot in my younger days. Haven't played it much recently, but I did try FC24, since they gave it away in PS+ monthly games.
