The score you’ll see right below here is more reflective of where I think the game will end up than where it is right now, but Big Ant’s earned the benefit of the doubt and until they fail to deliver, I’ll continue to give it to them.

Was this game made by blind children that have only heard rugby being played on the radio?
Can someone please forgo the outrageous licensing fees and use the budget to hire people that know how to make a solid rugby game?! I think it's fair to say we'd enjoy Arnold Savloy and the Semi blacks take on the White Roses with Mario Itegi if the gameplay didn't make you want to gag.

They release a patch every week to try and fix their very broken and incomplete game, but cannot seems to understand what is expected of this game. They cannot handle people calling them out on their forums, people who feel like they have been robbed. I would never recommend buying a game developed by these people!

He jugado al rugby durante cinco años y me he comprado este juego por nostalgia. No esperaba un gran título, ya que soy de esas personas que se aburren rápidamente si un juego no me engancha desde el principio o resulta demasiado repetitivo. Sin embargo, me he llevado una gran sorpresa. Es cierto que, al principio, recibió muchas críticas por los bugs y la falta de contenido, pero en menos de un mes han logrado mejorarlo considerablemente. Aún tienen que pulir algunos detalles para que sea un juego redondo, pero el avance ha sido notable. Llevaba tiempo esperando un juego de deportes que realmente me divirtiera. Mis colegas, que son aficionados al fútbol, tienen el FIFA, y ahora puedo decir que, como amante del rugby, Rugby 25 es mi opción. No es por hacerle la pelota a los desarrolladores ni mucho menos, pero tenía muchas ganas de un nuevo juego de rugby, especialmente después de tres años desde la salida de Rugby 22.A lo que quiero llegar es que, si eres fan del rugby como yo, lo vas a disfrutar. Eso sí, no esperes un juego idéntico a los anteriores, porque ahí entra en juego el factor nostalgia. Es como comparar los Assassin’s Creed antiguos con los nuevos: que sean diferentes no significa que los actuales sean malos, sino que buscan evolucionar y evitar la repetitividad. Por eso, las empresas de videojuegos apuestan por innovar con nuevas mecánicas y dinámicas en el gameplay, lo que les permite ofrecer cada año un título único en comparación con los anteriores. ***Text in English***
I’ve played rugby for five years, and I bought this game out of nostalgia. I wasn’t expecting a great game because I’m the kind of person who gets bored quickly **** doesn’t hook me from the start or feels too repetitive. However, I was pleasantly ****’s true that, at first, it received a lot of criticism due to bugs and lack of content, but in less than a month, they’ve improved it significantly. There are still some things to refine to make it a perfect game, but the progress has been remarkable.I had been waiting for a sports game that I could truly enjoy. My friends, who love football, have FIFA, and now I can finally say that, as a rugby fan, I have Rugby 25. I’m not trying to flatter the developers or anything, but I was really looking forward to a new rugby game, especially after three years since the release of Rugby 22.What I mean is, if you're a rugby fan like me, you're going to enjoy it. However, don’t expect a game identical to the older ones because nostalgia plays a role. It’s like comparing old Assassin’s Creed games to the new ones—just because they’re different doesn’t mean they’re bad. The thing is, they can’t be exactly the same, or people would get bored due to repetition.That’s why video game companies focus on innovation, introducing new mechanics and gameplay dynamics to make each year’s title feel unique compared to previous releases.

A broken game and completely unplayable. I honestly believe that it is fraudulent to charge for this in its current state. It's advertised as a rugby game, yet I have been unable to complete an 80 minute match, with several attempts, due to crashing. The developers are on Twitter telling people that glitches are only occurring because they haven't updated, but that is simply untrue. I’m playing on PS5 with the latest patch: the very patch being touted by the CEO of Big Ant as the fix. Do not waste your money. Do not be tempted to buy this for the rugby fanatic in your life. Wait and see what they do in future updates. At present, it is a genuine 0/10, with impressive graphics and licensing. I will happily amend my review with based on future updates.
SummaryWelcome to the ultimate rugby video game experience, Rugby 25! From club sides through to the world’s biggest international tournaments, every detail has been meticulously crafted to bring the excitement and intensity of the sport to your hands.
