Rematch Reviews
Were it a bit more feature complete and fine-tuned, Rematch would be undeniable in its claim for Rocket League’s long-held crown. There’s a high, albeit achievable, skill ceiling here, but intuitive controls means anybody can header, rainbow flick, or bicycle kick goals from the box’s edge in short, exhilarating, and most importantly, moreish games of soccer.
Rematch is an interesting game. Even losing a match makes you want to try again, and when you team up with players that like to cooperate, it can be one of the most beautiful gaming experiences. I think even gamers not keen on football can find lots of fun here.

Rematch does a good job of providing a bite-sized arcade football experience that's backed by smooth performance and simple controls, making it easy to pick up and play. While its early access period brought matchmaking issues and a bit of lag to the table, SloClap has committed to resolving these issues in future updates. As it stands, Rematch is certainly worth a go, for both casual and veteran football fans.
Rematch is a wonderful reinterpretation of football with just enough innovation to make the sport its own. Thanks to an amazing gameplay loop and beautiful art style, every match has been unforgettably fun. Unfortunately, some current issues with server performance and limited, restrictive content stop Rematch from becoming a must buy. Still, anyone looking for a hot new multiplayer game like nothing else should keep a close eye on Rematch's future.
If Sloclap can rightfully be considered a small forge of ideas, then Rematch is undoubtedly its most ambitious project to date. However, this ambition, when confronted with the reality of execution, sees the game struggling to shine as brightly as hoped-at least initially. That said, it provides a solid foundation to build upon, update after update, with the goal of engaging and growing a community-something that is essential for a project of this kind.

For football enthusiasts, Rematch is certainly worth a try, but for those looking to dive deep, it may not be the right fit for most players. Its mechanics and systems lean far more toward the hardcore end of the spectrum compared to something like FIFA, turning even seemingly simple actions into daunting tasks. While the skill ceiling is impressively high, reaching it requires a serious investment of time and dedication.

The creators of Sifu have made a game even for those who don't like sports. In mid-April, testing of Rematch began, and at that time, the peak number of online players on Steam exceeded 120,000, and some gamers are already calling the new game the future of virtual football. As soon as the game is released, it has every chance of becoming the new gaming discovery of the year. Despite some minor flaws, REMACH is a game that definitely deserves attention. With these shortcomings addressed, it could become a real hit, winning the hearts of millions of players.
Despite some technical issues in the beginning of its life cycle and concerns about its longevity, REMATCH delivers a very fun experience that constantly makes you want to play one more match.

Even in its current state with plenty of issues, Rematch is the closest thing to a street football simulation. Despite all its flaws, it's been a long time since I've played a game this addictive.

Currently Rematch feels like an early access game. Great engaging gameplay is paired with wonky servers and lack of basic features.

Rematch is an addictive blend of Rocket League and real football that's sure to prove a hit on Xbox Game Pass and beyond. The difficult controls might put some people off in the early hours, but its "just one more game" feel should keep most playing beyond the teething period - and that's when it really comes into its own. The developers have done a fantastic job with this one, and I can't wait to see how it evolves in the weeks, months and years to come.
While Rematch suffers from a lack of cooperative or competitive tools at release, the foundations are in place for an exciting football experience for many years to come – all without paying for a single stupid card pack.
Rematch brings a bold twist to a genre that's been playing it safe for too long, offering a fast, stylish, and skill-driven take on football. Its gameplay is both accessible and surprisingly deep, turning every match into a highlight reel. Still, technical hiccups, balancing issues, and missing features like crossplay and offline modes keep it from reaching its full potential. Sloclap has built something great, and with the right support, Rematch could grow into a true standout in the genre.

Rematch feels like a breeze of fresh air, a real gift for football fans. With simple mechanics that are difficult to master, you can be the star of heart-stopping matches that, as usual, are much more enjoyable with friends.

While it has quite a bit going for it, Rematch doesn't offer a stellar solo experience by a long shot. You'll need to bring some friends to get the full potential out of this one. If you have $30 to burn and nothing else to play, however, it'll tide you over for a while.
Rematch is the most interesting football game to come along in years and plays with the rules in a fast and loose way that creates an enjoyable, easy to dive into and tricky to master loop. As an online only experience with no cross-play for right now and some hiccups, there’s definitely some challenges, especially as the core of the game is played with others and relying on them, depending on the teammates you end up with. But the long term potential is vast and we’re excited to see how each season unfolds.
Rematch is one of the most interesting soccer experiences in recent years, focused solely on fun while still maintaining a certain level of competition. Its foundation is solid, and there's plenty of room for improvement and new features. However, despite the guaranteed fun, this is one of those cases where it's worth waiting for a promotion, as its price, considering the content available at launch, seems a bit unreasonable for a live service. In any case, it's up to you to decide how much fun you're worth!

Despite its flaws, Rematch has a core that works and is fun to play.

REMATCH is the archetypal game that arrives with a clear vision, solid execution, but still stumbles over a few technical and structural details. It doesn't set out to reinvent everything, but it does so with such sincerity that we can only applaud the effort. The result is an addictive proposition that can appeal to neophytes and experts alike. If the developers correct the current problems and improve the offering, the game could well become a must-have on the competitive scene.

Rematch can either be one of the most entertaining experiences of the year, or one of its biggest disappointments, depending on your skill level. If you master its mechanics, get used to its camera, and be lucky enough to end up in a synergetic team, then boy oh boy, this thing works like a beauty. If not, this will easily become an exercise in frustration.
