Devs don't give a single F about players. The Netcode makes it unplayable and Exploits get Promoted as "techniques". Every Update is just some Cashgrab Cooperation with a Company. Unplayable and dead game with greedy Devs who don't care about the game and the playerbase. Edit after additional 50h Most "Techniques" have been adjusted. Here's what still makes it not worthy of a positive review: Ping You will play with …

The downfall of this game has to be studied - as I'm typing this review right now, the number of players currently online is only sitting at a whopping 930 players. Undeniably, there are issue that needs urgent fixing. I can never understand how with every update introduced, new exploits come along with it - people who constantly abuses "tech" which makes it hard to defend or attack. This makes the game very much …

no game has further proven to me that humans are selfish creatures. the people you encounter solo queuing simply do not understand football, nor that they are on a team of 2-4 other players. There HAS to be a bigger punishment for leaving ranked games, and there HAS to be some kind of dodge mechanic. Losing a game and losing elo because a teammate quits within the first minute is a pretty good reason to simply stop …

Brilliant Concept, Undermined by Exploits and Solo Play Rematch has enormous potential, but right now it’s held back by some deeply frustrating problems. The core idea is brilliant: take the precision and feel of a third-person action game and drop it into a 5v5 football format. When everything clicks, it genuinely feels like the competitive sports game many of us have been waiting for. Unfortunately, the current …

TL;DR A genuinely great game that was cursed with a terrible player base. I do really love this game, I think what they devs are trying to achieve here is awesome, and already has a fantastic basis, but largely due to player base, enjoying this game is a coin-toss sometimes, you'll have an intensely competitive, exciting team-work heavy game, with highs and lows that will leave you feeling great. Unfortunately thats …

60% of the 290 Steam reviewers we collected recommend REMATCH. The complaint that keeps coming up: teammates often selfish and uncooperative. Deal-breaker or nitpick?
Critics, per Wikipedia
Rematch received "generally favorable" scores according to review aggregator website Metacritic. Fellow review aggregator OpenCritic assessed that the game received fair approval, being recommended by 51% of critics.

Other reviewers were more critical of Rematch. Ben Sledge of TheGamer took issue with the game's live-service elements, citing server issues and lacklustre battle passes. Sledge said that "the game has serious issues that border on rendering the game completely unfun." The game attracted more than 1…

They did such a great job with the cover and some of the nicest people said the nicest things. If you enjoy video games and reading about me humiliating myself, this comes out April 1st!

Time to be selfish as the world burns! *I* don't need anything, but if you want to get *yourself* a gift for my birthday, I'd say pre-order my book Good Game, No Rematch (coming April 1st). It's either self-promotion or facing the dark hallway that is the rest of my life.
neutral · AI labelView post →Completely ruined the game since Beta, care more about putting skins in the game than fixing their servers, constant lag, constant teleporting of players and the ball. Character will do inputs that were not pressed. Making character move in one direction will sometimes make them go in the complete opposite direction on the other players screens. IE if you are goalie, and dive towards the ball, sometimes the game makes you dive "backwards" not on your screen but on everyone elses, and the ball…

This is an online game, cost money (a lot), and still have to pay for stuff in game. Also, from my country, there're a lot of people like football game, but most of them dont want to pay, specially for an online game. Please make it free !!

He has no idea on how to cheat in this game, we as a team HAD NO IDEA CHEATS EVEN EXISTED, let alone find them publicly. This is a joke and a theft of his 25 euro. Steam has refused a refund (which is expected, he is long past his 2hrs of playtime), so this leaves us with voicing this injustice through a negative review. If anyone from Sloclap reads this, PLEASE TAKE A…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Gameplay wise, this game is great. However, the lack of strict penalties for toxic behavior is ruining it. Playing in Silver is a nightmare because someone throws, griefs, or leaves in almost every match. Since the game doesn't punish them properly, they just keep doing it. The developers need to add severe punishments for bad behavior, or solo queue will stay unplayable.

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Did I ever tell you what the definition of insanity is? Insanity... is... adding more cosmetics that you need to pay with real money on a game that is suffering from low player count.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I've been playing REMATCH since the early days, back when it was a fun, fast-paced, and (most importantly) fair rocket-powered soccer game. It was a clear but enjoyable homage to Rocket League, with its own quirky charm and models. The core was solid: you had the ball, you made a play, it felt competitive and skillful. That game is dead. The current version of REMATCH is a shell of its former self, mutated into a frustrating, sluggish, and deeply unbalanced mess. The Core Gameplay is…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I really wanted to like this game, i loved the beta and was hopeful, but the game just gets worse with every patch. For every bug, every exploit they fix, atleast two new pops up. Fixes and changes for the meta are slow or non existent, same goes for dev communication. But hey, atleast we're getting FOMO battlepasses for real money! And there's a store aswell! Anyway, the game is fun when it works, i like the art style (the arenas are awesome), but it's been 4 MONTHS since release. I think…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Highkey wish I could get a refund on this game, keep hoping there is a change in the community and the devs actually fixing exploits that people love calling "Techs". In the beginning the game had insane potential and I literally had so much fun because everything was casual and still skill based. Game knowledge was rewarded and good positioning too. Now it's just a waiting sim to join a lobby filled with almost everyone abusing exploits to make up for their lack of actual skill. Shame what it…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game had so much potential. I played both betas, purchased the pre sale elite version and regret it to this day. The devs just fluked the game hard on launch, it came out unstable and still is to this day, well, it doesn't crash anymore, but there are many things that haven't been solved since launch. There are some jersey textures that are actually low res and pixels flood into the details and look bad overall. I still get ABSURD net coding issues, tackles not registering, adversary…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It truly pains me to leave this review. I absolutely love this game and truly want what is best for it. I played this game during the early access and ever since, the game state has just been going downhill. As of right now, there are way too many frustrating mechanics: header/rainbow spamming, keepers holding onto the ball seemingly forever, keepers diving out of the box to pick the ball up, and a lack of forced urgency while on attack. I doubt the devs will see this review, but I have ideas…

neutral · AI labelView post →Absolute trash game. The concept, gameplay, graphics, and sound are all incredible. But none of that matters when the actual experience is complete garbage. You simply can't have a multiplayer game infested with exploits, god-awful desync, and a matchmaking system that feels like it was coded by a toddler. Amazing potential, completely butchered execution. As someone else said in the reviews: ‘Exploits are promoted as "techniques."‘ That’s exactly what’s happening with this ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ game.

neutral · AI labelView post →Prime example of what listening to the wrong community gets you. A game that was once burning with potential is still as solved as it was in Season 0, and has no way of improving its skill ceiling barring executing glitches that the players call "techs".

I don't know who makes the decisions at the top of this company, but despite clear feedback, bug reports, and cheaters, they haven't given a damn about making this game, which takes an original, fun, and rather unique idea and fills it with ♥♥♥♥ to absurd levels, ignoring the community's opinion. Sure, they've tried with a few bug fixes and nerfs to certain exploits, but the pace of bug fixing and adding new content doesn't…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A gamebreaking bug that exists since the game's release is still not fixed. the devs don't give a ♥♥♥♥ about the game (your character randomly can't interact with the ball and only pass, shoot, etc)
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game felt way better and promising in beta. Devs don't seem to know what direction they want the game to go. This game was first promoted as a skill based team oriented game, which they have clearly abandoned. Every update adds more and more random chance and broken mechanics into the mix. The ball will travel through you, you can't get a diamond when the ball is right beside you, but you'll see an opponent who is 10 yrds or more away get dragged to the ball, which makes absolutely…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I've been apart of the community since the beta - Enjoyed it, pre-ordered it, etc After nearly 100 hours, all I have to say is how utterly disappointing this game has turned out to be. It's so incredibly saddening as I am a huge fan of SlowClap's other work. To summarise: - The store seems to get more updates and focus than the core game. - The server instability and lag is abhorrent; Just before writing this, I was kicked from a ranked match and and demoted due to server connectivity issues.…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I used to basically play this game almost everyday, I found it funny and this has everything to be huge and become competitive. But its so obvious the devs are not caring about fixing the game's issue. Everyone I play with says the same thing, even randoms on the in-game voice chat. Devs keep putting more effort into comestics that all look the same and horrible, and completly forget about the core of the game itself.

The game was full of ridiculous bugs and glitches that make it almost unplayable, and the studio preferred to keep them rather than fix anything. If they are responsible for this decline, congratulations — the game has become a complete disappointment. Can anyone recommend another game like this?
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Best feeling when you get a teammate who thinks he is Ronaldo and never pass, and just nonstop spaming for pass. When he is a goalkeeper just randomly shooting. So you can just decide to never pass either an look at him raging and leave the match 10/10 experience Legit 90% of playerbase is like that
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I love this game to death, but even though i recommend it, i advise you to enter this game with the idea of what it is, and the player base in it. Most people do not play this as a team based game, rather a "Blue Lock" or "Main character syndrome" infestation is what populates it. Despite that, when you manage to find an active team that seeks to play it like a proper football game, that's where the game shines. Its a blend between real football adding some arcade elements to it, but not…

I mean it's already bugged but now there's this weird animation dive where you dive a millimeter to the left or right and jump slightly up like you're giving a high five to casper. It just doesn't make sense why they would even add that dive in the first place or why it's so sensitive to simple left and right inputs which ruins the reads on strikers.…

Based on their hidden rating system the game basically decides what league they want you in. I exclusively play with the same 2 people but for whatever reason they decided i should get 17 points for a win and lose 23 for a loss. While they receive the opposite scoring system. So I'm below my starting league while they've moved up about 7 divisions. tldr: i play with the same people and they rank up in…
