The football arcade Rematch from the creators of Sifu became successful even before its release – testing of the project attracted an impressive audience. Immediately after its release, it was able to acquire an audience of over a million people.
Just a day after the release, more than a million gamers around the world played Rematch, as reported by the developers of the Sloclap studio. However, not all of these people received a comfortable gaming process: there are often complaints about connecting to the network, performance drops, as well as an abundance of cheaters who have flooded the game.
As for the players’ reviews, over 10 thousand users left reviews with a total rating of 77%. Here’s what they write about the project:
The huge company EA has been doing the same thing for years, raking in money from microtransactions. A small French studio just goes and makes fun, interesting, simple and cool football for the people. Have French developers had a gaming renaissance in recent years?
At the moment, this is the best session PvP game. It is simply impossible to tear yourself away, after the first launch I came to consciousness only at half past two in the morning. I have had this only a couple of times in this decade – when playing Factorio, Mount and Blade 2 and Crusader Kings 3. Probably, now, while everyone has not yet learned, is the best time to fly into the game.
Guys, the game is not bad overall. But you can’t ignore such netcode lags, everything is jerky and unpleasant. Judging by the fact that the game got through several tests to the release in such a state and with such lags, I understand that this is considered normal. It’s very painful.
I played two betas, endured all the crashes – after all, it’s still a beta. I thought they’d fix it on release, but no: they’re releasing a raw game that crashes every 7 goals. They still haven’t fixed the desync. The game itself is addictive in terms of gameplay, but from a technical standpoint, it’s a complete [disgrace].
The game is pretty cool and I haven’t played anything like it. In Remtach, the first time you play, you don’t understand anything, but after 5-10 games you already have an understanding of the game itself, and you play without stopping.
The developers promise to fix all these flaws in the near future, as well as add more competitive modes and crossplay – this will take some time. Not all improvements should be expected this year.
