Rugby League 26 (Xbox Series X)

The career mode progression actually makes you feel like you’re grinding through the ranks, and the tackling physics are brutal in a good way. Took me a few games to get the hang of the defensive timing, but once it clicks, it’s incredibly satisfying.

The 'Pro Team' builder hooked me immediately—spent hours crafting my squad before even hitting the pitch. Tackling feels solid and the AI actually adapts to your play style. A must for any league fan.

I've been playing through the career mode for a few days now, and the "Pro Team" building system really lets you create something unique. The authentic feel of the gameplay, especially the tackling mechanics, pulls you right into the match. It’s the most fun I’ve had with a rugby game in years.
