Reception
Metacritic has assigned Rugby 22 a 59 score, indicating "mixed or average" reviews.[5]
In a mixed review, Wales Online called it the best rugby game in "15 years" whilst also having some criticism. They said: "Gameplay-wise, this game is probably the closest any title has come to capturing modern rugby, and is certainly the best on-field game since Rugby 08."[6] "While it's not perfect, and the game can either reward you or the computer for essentially breaking it with long, looping miss-passes from rucks, it does flow better than previous iterations."[6]
