    Not gonna Lie, its a very creative game with an original idea by Psyonix!! Literally the game is Football (Soccer) with cars! Amazing game and I am proud to have played this game back then.

    Infinite fun, lot of mechanics, a nice variety of mods, cool practice maps, and community creations, definitely the game I enjoyed the most playing, tryharding, and getting better in.

    It's bad.
    I've been playing this game since 2019, and oh boy, it has not aged well.
    Back when I bought it, I originally intended to play this game with some friends of mine. It was a blast, because Rocket League, at its core, is *really* fun. It all goes downhill the moment you go play competitively. If i had to give one piece of advice, TURN OFF CHAT. This Community is some of the most    It's bad.

    It all goes downhill the moment you go play competitively. If i had to give one piece of advice, TURN OFF CHAT. This Community is some of the most annoying to deal with. You can't save the ball?
    Prepare for 3 to 9 instances of "What a Save!" in the chat from the enemy team! You missed a shot? "Nice Shot!"
    And you must not say anything back, because if you say something slightly offensive, the other person who talked trash first WILL report you and get you game or chat banned.
    Now, this would all be tolerable if it didn't tie into my next point: The Developers, Psyonix.
    Psyonix, the team behind Rocket League, got bought by Epic Games in 2019.
    This brought:
    -A Fortnite-esque item store where every part of the previously established Market for Items was changed
    -A lot more strict chat rule enforcement (which would be good, but literally any trash talk will get you banned, and the type of ban is handed out randomly.)
    and many more, but the worst of them all:
    Epic Games Store exclusive. This meant that the game would be no longer on Steam, would become free-to-play (one actual positive), and would require downloading the horrible mess that is the Epic Games Launcher and Users were forced into using an Epic Games account.
    This wouldn't be so bad if the Epic Games Service as a whole wasn't a terrible experience.
    Your issue didn't get resolved the first time you opened a ticket with our quite frankly, terrible support staff? Too bad, now you wont be able to request help with the same issue again, because you will actually get ignored.
    Rant over.
    I'm giving this game a 3 because the game itself is good, but the people behind it and the community are terrible.    … Expand

    What great game with an actual pretty obvious concept: combine soccer and car racing. As simple as it seems, the complex it can get by learning mechanics and getting into the real details of controlling your car and the ball! Evergreen game!

    I don't like the concept of the car + the ball at all, it looks like the free-to-play Roller Champions (game which is not liked by the players in the majority) ...

    One of the few multiplayer games where you can play and sometimes win, even if you're not that good. The matchmaking and progression system is really good. Wish you could play it on SteamDeck/Steam (well you can, if you bought it for some years ago, but still)

    The only way to pull a negative from this game is to say its just not your cup of tea. Skill matters, monetisation is light and the fun component is high. Even if your skill is low, and trust me, mine is low, you can have a blast if you love what its doing. It nails the sound, the feeling and the replay-ability.
    Thank you for reading. Enjoy Gaming.

    Muito bom.
    Não tem o que falar de entrar no jogo chamar seus amigos e rir dos seus gols contras e erros, não tem outros jogos para comparar e tipo o "único" jogo de futebol de carros.

    For a game about smacking balls with toy cars, this is surprisingly competitive. Good for a try, but lost interest as soon as I was assigned a rank and began getting matched exclusively with players above my skill level.

    Rocket League is a Sports-Action game developed by Psyonix. This game was very enjoyable for car lovers and football lovers. Rocket League(PC) can be downloaded in Epic Games for free. In this game, we control our car to hit the ball on the field and in the air too to score the goal like in football. A football field in this game was built so that there is no way for the ball to go out either side, top and back, or in other words, a closed indoor football field. There are only goals from both sides that are used to score goals only.
    The rules of this game are like a normal football match the team that has the most goals within 5 minutes wins the match if the goal was a tie after 5 minutes there will be an extra time the team that scores the first goal will win the extra time and win the game.
    Let's talk about a mode in this game so basically, there are casual mode, rank mode, tournament, and event mode(Holiday, Festival, Collaboration) and, on each mode, you can choose what you want to play you can play alone in 1on1 or play with your friends or random teammates for 2-4 players.
    Next, for the graphic and sound part in the game, all of the maps, sound, songs, cars, skin, and effects in the game are not that bad for a sports game, and users that have a low-quality computer can be able to play this game in a mid-graphic setting. In addition, you can play this game for free I mean this game is not a "pay to win" game all of the skins, cars, and effect you can use free items to play the game without any disadvantages because I am a free player and I still feel enjoy with the game.
    The mode that I like the most and very helpful for a player like me who like competition is the Tournament mode. This mode is not as same as the rank mode because the tournament mode feels more competitive than the rank mode. The champions of the tournament mode have a record for themselves and win the prizes, and it is open every week.
    The main point that plenty of people did not like Rocket League because Rocket League is a skillful game, the mechanical in this game is different from other sport-actions games, so the newbie that started to play this game will be tired and give up on this game ,but if you play it every day and practice basic gameplay you will have fun with it. To be honest, I am not good at this game that much ,but I have played this game a lot so I feel accustomed to the gameplay.
    My suggestion for the newbie or gamers that want to try this game, does not to force yourself to be good instantly you can play the game continuously and take your time to learn about the mechanic of this game. The most important thing is to have fun and enjoy the game.    … Expand

The controls are very precise and direct, giving you a real feeling of controlling the strength and direction of the ball. The basic controls are reasonably quick to learn, but difficult to master as there are many mechanics that can give you an advantage in game. But sooner or later you get stuck on the same rank season after season, which can take away some of the fun in the game. It costs nothing, even if it is unfortunately only available exclusively on Epic.

    Sick gameplay.

    Awful cosmetics and style in my opinion. I really dislike that. But that's a personal preference.
    Also rough community. Better use that "mute all chat" functionality.

    Rocketleague is one of the biggest skillgames that has ever been created. The amount of tech and the skill ceiliing is almost infinite. To give this game a fair shot you need to really put in multiple hours and get over a steep learning curve which might detere some players. But once you get the high once, it is extremely hard to put down.

    Fun but repetitive. That's Rocket League summed up in 3 words. It's like eating fast food: it's really enjoyable in small bursts every once in a while, but if you do it too much it starts to drag and hurt more than anything.

    Thats why it got nominated into best esports game of the year

    One thing that they definitly need is CROSS PLATFORM TRADING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    They also need to invest more in the game and get more devs and publishers to enhance is

    and my biggest one yet is "UNREAL ENGINE 5" if they add that the game will go from a 7.8 rating to probably a 8.9 rating

    Easy to get into, but hard to master. It can provide an endless amount of fun (especially if you have friends to play with). The skins are goddamn expensive though which is F****** stupid. The game used to cost 20$ and now you have to pay that much just for ONE skin. God forbid you want two of them. Other than that the game has a ton of smurfs and toxic 12 year olds.

    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.
