Rematch Reviews
"Go gung-ho and you swiftly lose match after match, along with your patience."
Rematch has everything it needs to become the ultimate arcade soccer game, but it's in desperate need of a technical overhaul. The ideas are there, the fun is there, but the issues overshadow the virtues. Hopefully, with a patch or future updates, the game will resume after this hydration break, or else we'll be forced to go to overtime.

Rematch can be fun in bursts and over time it should grow to have a decent community. The emphasis on player skill over unlocking perks and skill points is refreshing, but can be hindered by the control scheme and camera. Some issues also need to be sorted too. Rematch is a nice distraction as an arcadey football game, and it has its place, but it is a small club that needs to build over time to challenge the bigger ones.
Its end-to-end matches are exhilarating from the first whistle to the last, full of punch-the-air moments and tense, tactical battles that get the blood pumping and palms sweating.

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.
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 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.

A worthy alternative to FC—Rematch is fast, flashy and endlessly replayable. Let’s just hope Sloclap doesn’t red card the momentum with bad post-launch support.
Rematch stands as a rare and bold attempt to faithfully translate real-world soccer (or football) into the online competitive gaming space—and it pulls it off really well. Though it can feel rather punishing to learn, this competitive game is there for anyone looking to experience the thrill of a real-world sport in an online space.
"Football reimagined with style" Rematch is a bold, refreshing take on football with an arcade feel. The studio has clearly succeeded in integrating the precision of fighting games into the world of football, resulting in a fast-paced and dynamic experience. Its engaging gameplay makes up for some of its shortcomings, particularly in the variety of modes. With continued support, Rematch could make a significant impact on the competitive multiplayer arena.

In the end Sloclap has unintentionally put a lot of roadblocks in the way of both your ability to enjoy and desire to purchase Rematch, but behind all that is one of the best feeling soccer games ever made waiting to blossom and be discovered, as long as you can see past those roadblocks and don’t mind paying up front for the potential this game has for the future.
