    Laser League is a masterclass of videogame design. As simple as playing with one button, but its depth is perfect for a competitive game. Roll7 has delivered one of the most addictive proposals of this generation.

    Beneath all the trimmings and little things that this game does so well, and outside of the intense competitive nature that keeps driving me back again and again, Laser League does something even more important: it reminds you, like all my favourite games of yesteryear, that gaming is supposed to be fun.

    Fast-paced and fun, Laser League is simple to play, yet challenging to master. It's super addictive and has all the hallmarks of a competitive multiplayer game that could well have a future in the world of eSports if the community embrace it.

    Laser League is phenomenal. It’s easy to pick up, thoroughly appealing in its style, and dangerously captivating.

    As I played Laser League people walked by my desk, saw the vibrant colors and figures scurrying around, and told me that they had no idea what was going on. Play the game for just five minutes, however, and its addictive frenzy will become readily apparent. The future is dangerous, chaotic, and unpredictable, but it's full of exciting possibilities.

    This fantastic future sport is easy to learn but difficult to put down, and the very agreeable price point makes this a title that you won't want to leave on the bench. Rocket League has a rival. [Issue#150, p.86]

    Laser League is an exciting competitive title that is–cliche incoming–easy to pick up and play, yet full of enough nuance that it’s tough to master. The fast paced frenetic nature makes it a game that can be played in short bursts, but also begs for just one more match.

    Surprising for the simplicity of the gameplay, and incredibly addictive, Laser League is an unmissable title for lovers of competitive multiplayer.

    Laser League is a great game, with a very original and fun concept and greatly executed. It needs new modes, but if the community remains active we’re sure they’ll arrive.

    This game lets us rediscover the pleasure of enjoying ourselves plunging into a lively competition, thanks to repetitive and easy techniques besides many different tactics, so as to keep us really concentrated, almost hypnotized. It will warm up the hearts of those who are longing to rediscover a local multiplayer gam, whose contents are undoubtedly beautiful.

    The team behind Olliolli try something new and produce a hit, Laser League could well be a new eSport darling.

    A quick, fun game, with a lack of content, for now.

    Laser League is fast and fun. It’s not an exclusively multiplayer game, but is enjoyed much more in company. Focused on skill, reflexes and the "easy to play, difficult to master" mantra.

    When you find yourself in the zone, Laser League is a joy to play. Controls are as straightforward as they come and the game's rules are easy to follow, meaning anyone can pick up a pad and join in. However, the depth that comes with the various character classes, their abilities, and power ups is surprising. This is classic "easy to learn, difficult to master" territory, in other words, and whether you're playing online or offline, it can be excellent fun with a few friends.

    Laser League is a really nice craft sport game. Roll7 had created a one button game capable of grabbing you and having you playing for hours.

    Is it addictive? Yes, but at the same time it could be even more addictive. High speed is always mentioned but for me at least, I wouldn’t mind it being even faster.

    Laser League is easy to play but difficult to master. Despite some online matching problems, it has great potential.

    The lack of players might be its undoing, but Laser League is well worth looking into if you’re a fan of arena style multiplayer titles.

    A brilliantly-designed and executed multiplayer thrillfest.

    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.

    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.
