    Unique mechanics and the ability to win alone, not found in most competitive games. If you lose, you know who to blame.

    Decent game and you can have fun with it, but the match making systems needs a serious update, because it's broken as hell.

    A very fun game to play at any time.

    I originally started playing Rocket League on the PS4 back when it came out in 2015, and to this day still enjoy playing this game very much. The only thing I don't like about the game these days, is the fact that Epic Games decided to take over. The whole imported seasons and store idea from Fortnite really haven't done this game much good.    A very fun game to play at any time.

    Rocket League is a great game, however playing on PC gives you a disadvantage as kbm is not as easy to use and has less control ability than controller. The only other real issue is lag but other than those two things it's incredibly fun.

    Yeah I can do a ceiling shot and I'm still in bronze so what. Honestly it's because my teammates are holding me back, and don't even tell me to play the 1v1 gamemode because the devs forgot to make that gamemode fun.

    This is the "sequel" to the awesome Supersonic Acrobatic Rocket-Powered Battle-Cars from the PS3 in 2008.

However, that is not an insult. It means that Psyonix know how good their game is, and not to break something that's already gameplay perfection.

    It is hard (or impossible) to overstate how much fun this game is, because you get no assistance from the computer. Everything you get in this game is earned through skill. Lucky shots exist, but you'll find that the only way to perform consistently is to master control of your car and collisions with the ball.

    There are only minor differences between the myriad cars you see in the screenshots, so everything comes down to player skill, not choice of car. "Play balance" isn't something we have to worry about here.

    After over 300 hours with this title, I can say they have done the original game great justice, and created something that will last for many years to come. It only gets to be more fun as you get better at it.    … Expand

    Rocket League captures the feeling of a soccer match far better than FIFA, PES or any other soccer title out there thanks to it's action-packed, physics-based gameplay where all the players on the field are actual people. The skill-curve is perfect for a competitive game and there are no glitches/exploits to take away the fun. This is hands-down the best sports title available on any platform.

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.

    Despite not caring about soccer or the NASCAR scene, Rocket League, against all my preconceived notions, pulled me into its addictive matches and reward system, ensuring that hours upon hours would be lost not in search of cosmetics or perks but pure unadulterated fun.

    Play a few Rocket League matches and you see more than a few similarities between the game’s RC-car action and pre-K    Despite not caring about soccer or the NASCAR scene, Rocket League, against all my preconceived notions, pulled me into its addictive matches and reward system, ensuring that hours upon hours would be lost not in search of cosmetics or perks but pure unadulterated fun.

    Play a few Rocket League matches and you see more than a few similarities between the game’s RC-car action and pre-K level soccer. A mass of players follows the ball wherever it rolls, teammates steal from each other, and accidental own-goal shots are almost expected. Even after your skill level advances and you’re able to make exhilarating mid-air saves and coordinated attacks, your car (and team) looks adorable in post-goal replays. Its game face may be set in a goofy grin instead of an intimidating snarl, but Rocket League’s beautifully balanced gameplay is one of the best competitive games I’ve played in ages. Whether you're rushing back to get on defense or trying to poke the ball out of a crowd, the controls never let me down in a single instance save for the times of my own incompetence. The tutorial ensures that you get these basics down and before long you'll be wanting to wall ride and using your boost for aerial strikes, both of which are difficult to master.

    When you’ve finally gotten the hang of driving, Rocket League is an absolute joy. The rules are the same whether you’re playing 1v1, 2v2, 3v3, or 4v4 matches: earn the most points in five minutes. You nudge, slam, bonk, or bash the ball into your opponents’ goal. The arena walls are banked into high walls, so the ball is in play no matter how exuberantly it’s been hit, which keeps the action moving. The arenas are sized nicely, too. They’re small enough to where you can assist on defense if you see an opponent tearing toward your goal, but they’re large enough so players aren’t unnecessarily trading paint just driving into position. The sense of momentum is exhilarating and every moment feels like a highlight reel, thus I'd recommend a controller since it is slightly easier to get a hang of the controls. As the case with any of these multiplayer games, having friends along to coordinate with is just an added layer of fun, although the ingame text options do a good enough job of communicating information.

    Matches are short and players are given a steady drip of cosmetic upgrades for their vehicles by simply participating. None of them affect gameplay, but a variety of hats, paint effects, body types, and smoke-trail designs let players show off their personality during the slow-motion replays. This sort of progression isn't a highlight, but still serves as a reason to continue outside of the adrenaline rush. On the audiovisual spectrum, the in-game action goes by too quickly to appreciate the visual details, from the textures on the arena floors to the flecks of glitter in the paint. It’s all beautiful without being distracting, and is performance friendly. This is supported by the ability to save replays, something I care to admit doing at least a dozen times by now. The electronic music is saved for menus, but the in-match audio capture that same atmosphere you would find in actual soccer matches, making even 0-0 matches thrilling from start to finish.

    The only few complaint I have with Rocket League are the bot AI who fill in when not enough players are in the match. They perform decently, but you'll be yearning for some real teammates after a single match with them, they seldom play offense and their defense is passable. This sort extends to the season mode, where you can face off against the AI in a sort of regular season of customizable amount of games and teams, all of which can keep you busy, but closer on the lackluster side due to the relative easiness of it all. Don't play Rocket League to have fun on your own w/bots, which is possible, but you'll be doing yourself a disservice. Luckily the matchmaking is solid w/only a few instances of me getting frustrated at the lack of getting connected to a server.

    Rocket League is a tight package that managed to convince me that cars and soccer are the best thing to happen to either one. It's visual appeal, responsiveness, and replayability showcases that you can have fun without a sodium overdrive or need to kill something, something plaguing a good amount of online games today. Don't expect any appeal in it's single player experience, the multiplayer will keep you up begging for just one more.    … 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.
