Burly Bird Media: Rematch is a sharp pivot away from Sifu’s stylised kung fu action, but developer Slowclap have resolutely subverted expectations across the board to great effect with a confident and challenging slice of arcade action. There’s much to be done in terms of polish; server stability was on shaky ground, and the game has a tendency to throttle CPU usage at inopportune moments leading to multiple crashes during our initial playtesting. But we’re two months out from release, and quite frankly, these are exactly the kind of problems this sort of open testing is designed to expose.
