    Once again another game ruined by Epic.
    The company is full of greedy sods honestly, can't think of anything original and anything they see that has popularity, they take. And that's what happened when they partnered with Psyonix, that just worsened everything.
    But overall with Rocket League, not the greatest game either considering it has crappy ball and car physics, a toxic community

    toxic community, too many boys that call teammates noob all the time, they are ruining the game. its only fun when you play 1 vs 1 or with some friends you can trust. i got 400+ hours of playtime, i mostly played with random teams, and now 1 vs 1 i have a higher rank than playing with teammates, this says enough. it always pisses me off to see people acting like this, when thetoxic community, too many boys that call teammates noob all the time, they are ruining the game. its only fun when you play 1 vs 1 or with some friends you can trust. i got 400+ hours of playtime, i mostly played with random teams, and now 1 vs 1 i have a higher rank than playing with teammates, this says enough. it always pisses me off to see people acting like this, when the other team is pussing and fighting i always tell the toxic player he has to shut up against his own teammates.
    if my random teammates are noobs and i am keeping the goal save all the time.....but they dont score, they still get mad and call me the noob..... its ridiculous, there should be a penalty system against these toxic players.

    3rd party sites take the same cut as steam
    70/30% and epic or steam don't make any

    It's a fun game, but on PC with it being removed from Steam and the new Pay2Win RocketPass it's no where near as good as it used to be.

    Do not buy this game.

    It's a terrible publisher that issues bans left right and center with no warnings.

    This game is bad, community is horrible, and their support team is a joke, you're treated like a pig and no one cares, if you speak up against other mishabits by players you get banned immediately, horribie community handling, happy at least that its no longer on steam, should be removed from any other platform aswell, disgusting game

    From 16th September players on Steam platform are unable to enter game unless they connect to some other niche platform. So this is dealbreaker as initially game didint required this.

I'm DISAPPOINTED in Pysonix. Not to mention the fact I paid for this game and without any compensation whatsoever they are gonna give it to millions of others for free. That part isn't even so bothersome to me, what pisses me off is that single skins cost MORE than the entirety of the base game did, WTF is that?? I have over 600 blueprints in my inventory that add up to well over $1000, THAT IS DISGUSTING! Expand

    It's an excellent, beautiful game with hard yet addictive gameplay! Or, at least it was. ..until Epic Games locked it behind a screen forcing me to link my Steam Account to an Epic Games Account or close the game. I chose to close the game and uninstall it.

    It may be going F2P but I highly DON'T recommend it, by doing so you're only supporting Epic Games and their terrible Anti-Consumer

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Since Epic’s acquisition of Psyonix, not a single positive change has been made. There’s been a consistent trend of updates solely focused on coercing players to actively engage in their microtransactions. Now that it’s gone F2P, this change has become even more damnable. They’ve now explicitly gone back on their initial promises and are preying on player data as we are being railroaded into accepting hidden terms of service, now that players are uneable to play without an Epic Games account. Epic has now fully integrated the Fortnite system into Rocket League, and it’s pathetic to see. Hold off on this game and let’s wait and see when this predatory system reveals yet another EA. Let’s hope our laws will continue to evolve to actively protect the safety and integrity of videogame players, if only to preserve what’s left of the interactive experience as an artform. Expand

Пришли эпик геймс, а вместе с ними и лаги на серверах (живу и так далеко от Европы), все мои купленные машины теперь бесполезны, они ничего не стоят. Изменили качество и редкость предметов. Теперь многие из них тоже ничего не стоят. В игре ухудшилось коммьюнити, в рейтинговых играх теперь регулярно люди ливают прямо посреди игры, потому, что они новенькие, им без разницы на команду. Рокет лига со своим уютным коммьюнити умирает прямо у меня на глазах ото дня ко дню... Цены на валюту и предметы стали скупердорогими. Спасибо, Rocket League 2015-2020. RIP Expand

    Sold the game to the devil themselves. many of us paid for this game for it to turn free with nothing in return. ABSOLUTELY disappointed. Epic deserves to be shut down for anti-consumer. we have the right to choose the platform to play our games from. well, not buying anything psyonix makes going forward.

    NOW if they let this stuff on steam and had price wars that's another story at least we have the option TOO CHOOSE.

    Rocket league in it's prime days was a 10/10 title but I had to reorganise my thoughts after Psyonix sold it to Epic.
    After this "shift" in "ownership", price and DRM you have to sit through a painfully long and insulting cutscene that they sell as a tutorial and then they notify you that you MUST HAVE an EGS account in order to play it as you would've normally done.

    You then have to accept EGS TOS, which they won't let you read in-game before agreeing, and after this you can finally play the game.
    It's not that bad you might say, but for someone who spent money and time on this game it can be quite irritating and insulting, as EGS didn't even thank the player for having supported the game when it was on Steam.
    EGS has also messed up the servers as I spent 30 minutes trying to set up a private tournament, only to get the "Could not connect to server" error.
    After all the game was pretty nice but you had to practice a lot to get the hang of it.
    It's a real shame that this game is going down the drain (imo) as it was fun to play competively and with friends.
    so for the rating: 7/10 pre Epic

    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.

    The idea of the game is one of the greatest i have ever seen,
    the mechanic seams fun and the firs hours are awesome.
    BUT the more you get into the game you must watch tutorials and spend hour in he practice tool, because the meta system and match making is so horrible you will get opponents way above your lvl. and there is absolutely nothing you can do about it. you jus get slaughtered

    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.
