    Laser League is like the world's most flavourful gum. When you start chewing, it tastes great but after about 15 minutes, you'll be happy to spit it out and put something more substantial in your mouth.

    This high stakes laser light show by no means is perfect, but it is a blast and one hell of a way to kill an evening online or locally.

    Laser League is typically the kind of game which is enjoyable for a few minutes, before it reveals its own weakness: repetitivness, mostly due to a lack of depth. Which is sad, because its main idea is really cool.

    Laser League is, quite simply, an excellent game. It is very easy to grasp the basics and have fun, but the gameplay also holds tremendous depth. Multiple classes with unique abilities and perks leave room for much strategizing and synergizing, but it is the gameplay at its core that is so thrilling and tactically brilliant. No two matches will ever be the same, despite utilizing the same maps. As laser-nodes change hands, the battlefield morphs in intoxicating and surprising fashion.

    This is a game where you must always be on your toes. Reflexes are important, yes, but what the game rewards more than anything is quick-thinking and awareness.

    On PS4, the game runs great and does not exhibit performance issues of any kind. My only real complaint is player-count at launch. In the evening, it is pretty easy to find matches, but at off hours you can find yourself matched with some AI. The AI puts up a real challenge, but this is a game deserving of a serious following. One can only hope that this game gains the traction it deserves.    … Full Review »

    Made a account to counter the needlessly bad reviews- This game is a absolutely compelling and unique multiplayer experience!!! It isMade a account to counter the needlessly bad reviews- This game is a absolutely compelling and unique multiplayer experience!!! It is refreshing to see something different multiplayer wise as innovation seems to be lacking, usually, in this category of gaming. Laser league nails the "easy to pick up, hard to master" of games like rocket league, with visuals reminiscent of Tron, and plenty of customization and unlockables. Disregard the 0 from "ColbyTurkey", the game runs perfectly. Give this game a shot, it is GREAT!… Full Review »

    When it works, this game is amazing! However, it is ridiculously glitchy right now, which makes it virtually unplayable. What a shame.
