    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.

    Finally something new. Not another zombie-survival-shooter. I like Rocket League's simplicity and how much fun is playing it with your friends. I also didn't find any cons of this game, it's amazing!

    i am dissapointed with the customer service and security standards of the game itself because they are not able to put items into an account when there are a lot of people getting scammed and hacked which is my case

    This is a very fun and very simple game. Grading a game like this is difficult. Its soccer with cars that becomes more fun when playing with friends vs. real players.

    An okay game but the servers are always down and gets boring after a while.There is a big selction of upgrades though so if youre a completionist dont worry. P.S. You cant complete this game.

    Its amazing! the game has everything... It's very well done, has a fantastic devs, the online competition is incredibly, offline still being super fun, has split screen, cross plataform and the more important "You are free to do what ever your skill cap let you to do and inject your own style into the game"

    everything in this game is bad. physics are unrealistic, comp matchmaking lets you play against players with 2-9 times more playtime, the controls dont work sometimes and the servers are pure **** i played over 250h and i still cant say this is a good game.

    Huh? How good can a game with football and cars be?

    Answer: Damn fu&%ing awesome! This game is ultra fun, combing skills and brains. Plus the online multiplayer experience has been solid for me.

    Snatched by Epic Games, now forces you to make an Epic account to play. Epic is notoriously awful with even the most basic of things, security is a big issue, and I'm not accepting being suddenly forced to make an account with this extremely scummy company in order to play a game I've owned for years.

    Epic's not getting my details. Tencent can burn in hell, and so can Tim Sweeney.

    Love it. It provides challenge and is a great combination of cars and soccer. It seemed like an odd combination but it really works and is very addicting.

    I have more than 2000h invested in this game and I've been enjoying it a lot. However that 'heavy car' bug that was introduced around 2 or 3 months ago has been daunting me. Psyonix are too busy swimming in their pool of sweet, sweet, crate money to fix the game. Oh, and you can add horrible optimized servers and a disgusting community to the pack.

    A very fun game, i have never played anything like this and that's what makes Rocket League fun to play. I wish they got more better servers so i didn't lag because playing bots is quite boring.

    OK, got this on PS plus, had no idea what it was and no expectations.
    First time I booted this up I had 3 other friends over, and we played the **** out of it for 6 hours straight.
    It has since been the primary party game for my friends and I.
    You don't have to like soccer, you don't have to like cars...it's just a really fun game.

    Gameplay feels simple but is actually surprisingly deep, lots of players and fun customisation. Whats not to like. Plus ranked servers and unranked as well as a party system that works well with matchmaking, making it easy to get you and your friends all into one game quickly.

    However needs a better tutorial

    you can create parties with your friends when it works
    duel in 1 v 1, 2 v 2, 3 v 3, and a hectic 4 v 4
    this games wasn’t designed to be anything but pure fun,
    no challenge, just fun and very simple.
    Anyone can hop in and instantly understand how to play
    there is a season mode with various difficulties to choose from where you try to win the championship from ai controlled opponents and partners.
    If your team isn’t full by time the match starts online, you are also teamed up with ai partners.
    The ai however can occasionally do more harm than good, hitting the ball in the wrong net, and overly just not aggressive enough when it comes to taking shots to be all too helpful
    I understand that this is to prevent ai teams from being over powered, but when youre the one stuck with the ai team, it can be a little frustrating.
    Match making is great though, even if you have a crappy connection, matches are a breeze to get into
    if you find yourself getting your but handed to you, there is a training mode to teach you have to effectively use your boosts and tricks, and how to effectively make shots and block shots as a goalie.
    The game features 11 cars and thousands of combinations to make your rocket car yours
    however I find it highly annoying that you cant customize each car individually.
    your settings carry over to each car, which sucks considering each cars style is different and has its own personality.
    it sucks having to go in and change things every time you want to drive a new car.
    Also good or bad depending how you look on it, all cars handle the same.
    there are no perks to use to your advantage.
    everybody goes into each match steroid free.
    A very even playing field.
    There a few minor annoyances such as ai and a few pretty big annoyances such as party creation not always working and customization not sticking to individual cars.
    but overall Rocket League is a really fun and addictive game to play both online or at home with a friend

Rocket League's gameplay an get to be very repetitive to the point where it only takes me a few rounds before I get bored of it. It tends to be a game that I will play for a few minutes, then put down for a while. This does have some benefits, however, as it make the game very easy to play after a long absence from it. Although, I believe this can be rectified by the addition of some alternative game modes. I would absolutely love to see what these developers can create via this engine.… Expand

    This game very amazing and funny. In this game clever bots, can play multiplayer with friends, vs random opponents, good animation graphics, epic goals and in beginning this game seems hard, but then this game seems easy . This game hasnt got storyline (but this game isnt needed storyline) . This game one of the best game of 2015, very amazing game .

    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.
