    Most fun game of the year, easily.

The replayability (it's easy to pick up but quite difficult to truly master), the fact it really does replicate the chaos of what an actual indoor soccer game feels like (something no other sports game has truly done with their sport choice).

    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

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

    An original game with decent gameplay, and would be fun if it wasn't full of cheaters. The game is ruined by people who can fly with unlimited boost and hit the ball midair from any angle and have it magically go straight into the goal every time. It's sad that these people have such poor quality character that they derive enjoyment from doing this.

    I dont understand the high scores. Desent gameplay but not all that fun and after every frigging goal a replay that you cant turn of but must klick a button to not see.

    Seems a lot of ppl think its replicate indoor soccer well not any of the 400+ games I played irl.

    Since the F2P update, I need an Epic Games account to play this game that i've paid for.
    Used to be a great game, but Epic is always ruining everything they touch.

    Was a good game up until Epic bought them out - now it's a MTX riddled mess with server problems, match making issues, and forces you to make an Epic account (Epic's store has many security issues related to identity theft in China - very well documented). Very sad to see what's happened to a once great game.

    The gameplay itself is quite addictive, but unfortunately the player experience is completely ruined by its silly matchmaking system, which is the worst I've ever seen. It will let you play streaks of up to 10 unwinnable games against game champions, and then you will have a much too easy match against complete noobs who can barely touch the ball.

    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.

    The game is fun to play. Though as soon as you start to take it seriously the developers have done so little work. The inconsistency in connection,touches,ball touching the ground in the 1 second,connecting to wrong servers,difference in latency between players. Better find another game to spend your time because all these bugs are irritating and not acceptable for a competitive game.

    First and foremost, RL is pure fun from the moment you pick it up just due to its fast pace and physics. It seems easy on the surface - just drive around and hit the ball.

    Pese a haberle costado encontrar un hueco en el mercado, Psyonix lo ha hecho y por la puerta grande. Nos ha deleitado con un título frenético, viciante y entretenidísimo.
    El juego más divertido del año probablemente. Y al que la empresa le sigue dando soporte y han anunciado muchos planes y contenido para él.

    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.

    This is probably the best multiplayer game out right now. This is a skill based game, and it's refreshing to see such a game achieve this level of popularity. However, I have a hard time recommending this to casual players. The game has a steep difficulty curve, so be warned. This is a great game.

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

    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

    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.
