Rematch Reviews
Rematch is a breath of fresh air in soccer games, with a fun, fast-paced arcade style and lots of potential. But it's also a demanding game, with complex controls and a steep learning curve. Plus, the lack of cross-play and various bugs detract from its brilliance in other areas. If you're willing to overlook some issues and put in the time, you'll end up hooked.

Sloclap’s Rematch kicks off with exotic flair and gripping gameplay that brilliantly balances tactical depth and arcade action for hours of fun, but while it scores high on innovation and replayability, flaws in matchmaking, sparse battle pass content, and chaotic random teammates blow the whistle on what could’ve been a Ballon d'Or-worthy football game—though with a few solid seasons, it might still become the undisputed champion of the genre.

It’s too early to understand the ramifications REMATCH might possibly have on the industry as we won’t be able to see them for 5-10 years. Sloclap proves you don’t need to follow trends, but can set your own. That studios don’t always need to play it safe with sequels or known IP, that studios can sustain themselves with unique ideas, smaller teams, and it shows that live service success can be found when done right. REMATCH has obvious Rocket League inspiration, but in the football genre that has largely been dominated by EA for decades with minimal competition, REMATCH is a disrupting the norm and the early sales prove it. REMATCH is unique, innovative, demands skill, but most importantly, fun.
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.
