    The amount of players leaving the game because of 1 goal in casual is ridiculous.

    I feel like I should love this, but it left me a little cold. Fails to be as fun (or fluid) as either driving or football games somehow.

Which is another lack luster in the game only one mode but you can choose between 1v1 2v2 3v3 4v4. A capture the flag could be so cool and ramps other crazy **** to the maps would be fun but maybe I'm all wrong maybe the game is meant to only be played on a flat surface with the same repetitive gameplay don't get me wrong I loved this game but after 29 hours i moved on.… Expand

    I give this game 5, but it deserves a 5 after epic bought it, the game went down hill. Before that it's a solid 9 or 10 in my opinion. The game is fun with friends, community is very toxic but that's fine. Game lost it's spirit when battle pass was added.

    Rocket League is a great game at its core, but the lack of a free camera mode and the crappy matchmaking system take away a lot of the fun. You get matched against pre-made parties that are a lot stronger than your own team all the time.

    Absolutely brilliant game and a game of the year in my opinion. Graphics and game play are outstanding and the local multi-player is my favorite part of the game. worth every cent of my purchase and hope they bring more to the game such as game modes and unlocks. Overall the game is outstanding and definitely worth getting!!

    Perfect example of easy to pick up and play, hard to master. Rocket League is basically Re-Volt meets football and it’s a sequel to Supersonic Acrobatic Rocket-Powered Battle-Cars, a rather unknown gem.

The major achievement of Rocket League is how it offers something for both casual and competitive gamers. As a casual gamer, you can play it with your friends and have great fun. If you are more competitive, you can go into ranked mode and see the extremely high skill ceiling that Rocket League provides. Watch some youtube videos and you will see the ridiculous moves the more pro gamers can do, which obviously comes with a lot of training. So, if you enjoy getting better as you spend hundreds of hours on a video game, Rocket League will please you. There is basically no limit to how much you can improve your skills.

    In addition, the game has very tight controls and fun gameplay. I hated the music, but that’s personal taste. The only reason I did not love Rocket League as much as many others, is that in my opinion, the game at its core is very basic. I did enjoy it for several hours, but I could not take it seriously for longer than that. There is absolutely nothing wrong about making a game with basic gameplay especially when it was executed perfectly like in the case of Rocket League. I just can’t justify giving it a higher score, taking into consideration all the other video games I’ve had more fun playing.

    Nice epic dynamic game, but also has a lot of problems, which can ruined all fun. Servers are in really bad condition - it's almost impossible to find match, where nobody has problems with packet loss or ping jumping. Another problem is physics, which can be totally random sometimes. That's why IMO this game never be good e-sport title.

    It can be a really Fun game but sometimes the physics are just way to inconsistent! For example: You drive straight into the ball and one time it flies up into the air and another time it goes straight on!
    Plus it needs a free cam!
    So it would be ok for 10€ but for 20€ its not good enough in my opinion.

Very smart move to make the game free to play but not nice to make steam users use epic client. . Some nice game modes but no punishment for leavers and joining a lost game or a full team of AI it`s not fun. Maybe they can add a more realistic gravity mode so the car will only be able to do small jumps and reduce the hang in the air time to make it more realistic. Some players use some dumb strats like passing the ball to the center of their own goal post when they are defending or as an attaker they pass the ball to their own goal post:)

    Rocket League es un juego que en cuanto a jugabilidad es excelente y trajo un aire fresco a los videojuegos en cuanto a juegos competitivos.

    Otra cosa es su comunidad bastante lamentable, de las peores hoy en día en los videojuegos.

    Fun game, but it doesn't come close to reaching its potential due to irritating camera controls and a distinct lack of options. For one, I would have liked the option to play without aerial rocketry or the option to play with smaller goals. You can't, there are no options at all.

    Need to unzoom because the ball is high up behind you? Too bad, you have to either see your car or the ball, not both, in this situation.
    Also, the game is made to be played with a controller. You do have the ability to rotate the camera slightly with a controller, but still barely.

    Overall, the game is absolutely amazing but looses 3 points for the terrible camera, it's really that bad.
    And it isn't worth taking off points just because it's made for a controller or because the bots even on All-Star difficulty tend to be rather stupid and mix teams.    … Expand

    Do you remember “Top Gear” episodes in which football matches were played using hatchbacks? The same idea is the cornerstone of Rocket League – one of those jewels that do not care for bells and whistles (though it does look great) and Kevin Spacey in the credits, instead focusing on squeezing every last drop of fun out of a simple concept.
