Match Point Reviews

Match Point is a surprising amount of fun, both to play and to spectate! I am completely unable to watch a game without being drawn in and becoming emotionally invested. The mechanics are simple - you can jump, kick the ball, and pull the ball toward you with a gravity-like tethering mechanism. One of my all-time favorite "couch co-op" games. Great while sober, great while not sober.

Don't let the simplicity fool you, this game packs a punch with its fast paced, action packed, and "wow" inducing gameplay. All packaged in a familiar, clean game. Is it Pong? Not quite. Mechanics like gravity, tethering, and goal shields add completely new layers to a game that's easy for anyone to pick up. Grab a couch and get ready to be a little too invested in this new local multiplayer experience, just like the old days. It's nothing short of a blast.

This game is p fun and challenging and stuff. However, the devs use special hacks to beat you at their own game. I say 9/10 with that one flaw.

I've been watching this game for a while since there are very few couch games that are both easy to pick up (particularly when intoxicated) and continue playing for a while. For me this joins legendary couch ranks of Nidhogg, Crawl, Lethal League, Rocket League and perhaps even Super Smash Bros. It's very unassuming graphics with an incredible level of polish and visual feedback/crunchiness. You'll be surprised and maybe even terrified at how invested and let down you become when it's the final match of the game and you narrowly miss the goal. In short it's Pong on steroids with several new mechanics inlcuding jumping, kicking, grappling the ball, and several different level layouts. Best played with several of your drunk friends. You definitely won't regret picking this flawless gem up!
