Server instability and unfair matchmaking undermine player experience

Most players enjoy REMATCH's tight, satisfying mechanics and strong teamplay, and sentiment is improving. A significant minority say online play is ruined by server instability, unfair matchmaking and toxic opponents, producing many negative reviews despite solid core gameplay and presentation.

    What players say (2)
    • Terrible state of the game, same mechanics being abused over and over again having nothing to do with football.— English review
    • Fix the servers, 80–90 ping makes the game unplayable, otherwise it's okay.— Turkish review, translated
  2. Matchmaking and ranking place players unfairly
    37 reviews · 12% of all negative reviews
    What players say (2)
    • A difference of even 10 ping feels like one player has 50 and the other 200.— Russian review, translated
    • Changes are made to core mechanics every season due to the player base playing differently than from the developers "vision", making it increasingly unjustifiable to spend time refining mechanics.— English review
  3. Toxic players and weak reporting/moderation tools
    44 reviews · 12% of all negative reviews
    What players say (2)
    • I have to admit that although this is basically a fun game, playing it with random people online is one of the worst things to do.— English review
    • The report system does nothing and sloclap doesn't care, because you already gave them your money.— English review
  4. Broken ball physics, goalkeeper and hitboxes
    28 reviews · 9% of all negative reviews
    What players say (2)
    • They changed the movement way too much and too many times; the attackers feel too slow and the goalkeeper just doesn't jump right as it used to.— English review
    • They made defending as easy as possible and now dribling its shit, if you like a football game with no dribles and only passing this is the game for you.— English review
  5. Lack of modes, training and solo features
    18 reviews · 6% of all negative reviews
    What players say (2)
    • No team/party/all chat— English review
    • This game has a terrible matchmaking system, so I don't recommend buying it if you're going to play alone.— Portuguese (Brazil) review, translated

    • Rematch takes the Rocket League concept with its walls, decorations, and explosions behind the goals — we know all that — but it works wonderfully, because this time, you really play football!— French review, translated
    • The important thing is not to be selfish and to know how to play as a team (if you want to win a match, of course).— Portuguese (Brazil) review, translated

    44 reviews
    What players say (2)
    • very fun mechanics and super satisfying when you score, especially when setting up good goals with teammates— English review
    • Rematch stands as a rare specimen of disciplined competitive design, where core mechanical interactions are stripped clean of stochastic variance.— English review
  3. Easy to learn yet skill‑based / hard to master
    18 reviews
    What players say (2)
    • A superb competitive game for football fans where skill decides everything, and true mastery comes after hundreds and hundreds of hours played.— Ukrainian review, translated
    • The fundamentals—movement, passing, shooting and defending—are approachable.— English review
  4. Chaotic/random fun and social humor
    16 reviews
    What players say (2)
    • Messi is a toy - Ronaldo is a cannon— Russian review, translated
    • I'm a rebel and always have been, and now it doesn't matter to be enemies — be the second best alongside me!!!!— Spanish (Spain) review, translated
  5. Appealing visuals, art and presentation
    15 reviews
    What players say (2)
    • It has an aura, but if you get blur the lion against you you're finished playing.— Italian review, translated
    • I liked it; it's a very realistic football game and it's also multiplayer.— Portuguese (Brazil) review, translated

Don’t change

  • Strong teamplay when playing with friends
  • Satisfying core mechanics: passing, dribbling, shooting
  • Approachable but deep skill ceiling
