But Psyonix have ways to remove messages that people have sent in game by disabling chat. But the games core mechanics and gameplay is great. Highly recommend this game. Expand

A combination of soccer, destruction derby, Mario Kart (Rumble Only), and other games related towards flying air crafts, resulting in a fun and enjoyable game to have fun with friends.

    All those pros will also come with some cons however. This game did start having a diversity of unique maps to play on early in the game's active life cycle, starting in Season 1 as of late, until roughly around Season 4, where they're removed entirely for moral reasons from competitive players. This results in the casual players to get bored more easily. There used to be micro-transactions in this game for a while, until fairly recently upon the re-reviewing of this game, which has been removed by the looks of things on Season 10, which is a good thing to keep the game healthy for the players. Another con to this game is, sadly, the toxicity of the game's community as a whole; as it's mixed of both positive and negative aspects, throughout my 3.7 years playing this game, which ends up being more negative than positive. Personally, I just hopefully in the future, PsyOnix should take the toxicity in their community very seriously, later going forward.

    Overall, a fun game to play either locally or in online, just try and get used to getting cursed on by over-competitive players out there. But personally, this game has a lot more potential in its plate, than it currently is using. If they were to let loose all of its limitations, then this game would be in a much better position than where it is at now.

    This has been Re-reviewed on 3/10/2020: Previous score for this game was a 7/10; updated to be 8/10, thanks to the removal of micro-transactions.

    It's alright. Fun game to play with friends but nothing spectacular. You can kill a few hours playing it and having some fun but all-in-all I think it's a forgettable game. Not bad by any means though.

Yes, of course you need some skills but why can't you take players in different divisions to balance online games. This is so easy to do. Well, that's the only one thing that I worry about. Because right now the Rocket League community counts around 500k people and I even didn't see any toxic people in online matches. Also good physicof the ball and the crash. You even can control different aspects of the game in local and private matches. Expand

    This game has completely broken balance, controls and physics. This is a geek vs geek game, no matter how many players there are in the team it only enough to be a PRO to score 10+ goals. Every PRO player has standart skin of the car, they all have. I guess it has some sense.
    Players are divided in 2 groups, one that keeps playing on the ground and other (elite) who are able to **** fly!

I knew Epic Games was a joke that doesn’t care about consumers at all, I just hoped it wouldn’t become this bad on my favorite game. The prices need to be adjusted, that’s a minimum. But Epic knows the prices are ridiculous so they’ll change them after community outrage and then play like they’re the good guy and gain fan favor. If you love video games do not fall for this, Epic know it’s ridiculous, they did it on purpose just to fix it later. Epic have proved again for the 100th time that we are a bottom line, not a human with a heart and soul that got into videogames as a kid because we thought they were fun. The days of coming home from school and getting to play your favorite game without predatory business practices being shoved down your throat are over thanks to EA, Epic, Activision etc. This is the pinnacle of what videogames have become, we are all numbers to them, please boycott Epic games or at least their predatory practices Expand

    Games are played either 2 Vs 2 or 3 Vs 3 and last for just five minutes. At first this may appear to be a fairly simple game but it soon reveals its hidden depths thanks to the fantastically responsive controls, that allow for all manner of skills and tricks, and the need to effectively work with your teammate(s) if you’re ever going to succeed in the competitive online environment.

    The manner in which Psyonix continue to support this title with free updates to the arenas, vehicles and decals also has to applauded, especially in an age where many of the bigger developers seem to want to wring every last penny out of their customers.

    Simple games are often the most effective and this is the case with RL. Although easy to pick up and play there is huge depth in the mechanics and you are always learning something as you go. Never gets old to pull off a tricky aerial goal or a last ditch save. Tremendous stuff.

    There's not much to say other than that Rocket League is one of the best titles on the PS4, and still holds a relatively large player base 3 years after release. I mean, I have a tendency to lag a lot, but that can easily be justified by lack of any kind of good internet connection.
    Basically, football+cars=amazing.

Combining football and cars is truly an original idea, and, more importantly, the result regarding its technical aspects and gameplay possibilities is quite good.

    If you do not like cars nor football, then Rocket League may not be your game. Otherwise, no one can deny how enjoyable playing it can be, especially if you do it online or with friends.

    Simply, I'll put it this way: I play at least 1 match, since release, every time I turn on my PS4. Its a joy to play a match once you get some skills. Every single match is unique. I think I will keep playing this game in the ps5.

    All in all, this game is incredibly fun, hard to master and great even to watch other (preferably skilled) people playing. The variety of options in gameplay (1 vs 1, 3 vs 3), the multiple scenarios, cars and challenges, give this game an almost unmatched replay quality. I've played this game consistently for a year and a half and I am still hooked. The addition of decals and other perks made it all the more interesting. Getting that random "Crate" drop encourages you to keep on grinding in Ranked (or free) mode.

    After playing so many great games on PS4 (Metal Gear Solid V, Fallout 4, FFXV, Skyrim, FIFA etc), this humble little game is, by far, the one I've played the most. Psyonix: chapeau! 10/10

More than a year after launch the game is still supported by the developer and they have added a new basketball-themed mode.

Meanwhile, my friend playing on a new account, gets no MVP and is last place on the team in nine of ten games and gets put into the same division as me.

    Overall
    Insanely fun and addicting for such a simple idea, particularly if you have a couple of friends to team up with. The frustrating ranking system keeps it from being a 10, but still one of the best games on the console and certainly the best PSPlus game to date by a long shot.

You drive an RC car capable of double jumping and using boost. Easy! Enter other players. OK WHAT NEXT? Two goals, a ball. Holy crap, let's fuc*ing do this ladies gentleman. 2v2 tends to be the populous favorite, and I'm right there with everyone. It's less dopey than having higher player counts, and not as pointless as 1v1. But hey, you've seen the reviews, you get the point, so here are the gripes - what needs to change.

    Maps get old fast, though this is hard to complain about after Pysonix introduced Rocket Labs - a mode where experimental arenas with crazy angles and ramps are used. I think this needs to be available for 2v2 play.

    The 'Quick Messages' need an update. They are cheesy, its why a fraction of them are actually used. Though, It IS kind of enjoyable how upsetting it can be when someone spams "No Problem. No Problem. No Problem." After scoring a shot. Still, less cheese, more eggs.

    RANKED. Time after time, fantastic players are teamed up with the worst of the worst. I'm not gonna try and explain how to solve network sorting, because I don't know how. But really. Players who do bad should not be put in a ranked match with players who are very competitive. I even (often) see people with high ranks play while intoxicated or high, and who wouldn't want to - just keep players who play poorly out of playing with me in a RANKED match.

    That's it. Those are the gripes that matter to me. For the future, I hope Pysonix offers us more vehicle customization, soundtracks with more than three decent songs, and MAYBE JUST MAYBE BABY some kind of perk system for your vehicle. Just to try it out. I'm not a fan of over complicating and breaking something that works, but I think a subtle booster of your choice could potentially up the strategics. Maybe you can't ever get demolished. Maybe your boost works slightly better. Maybe your can activate extra gravity so your vehicle falls to the ground faster

It is a must buy no matter the price.

    It's a blast to play and it only gets better as skills improve over time and as the competition ramps up. It's a game that everyone, whether they’re big into sports video games or just can’t seem to get into them, will really enjoy.

    I have no problem saying that this is the best and most original sports game I have played since at least FIFA 12. It mixes all the best elements of sports and online multiplayer games into one in an affordable and seamless experience that looks awesome in YouTube videos as well.

    Rocket League is an extremely well designed and presented game, a veritable feast for the senses at times, and an undeniably addictive experience.
