    Rocket League is one of the most entertaining and fun games I think I have ever played. Surprisingly deep in its mechanics, everything works perfectly as every game, online or offline, is as ridiculously fun as the one before it. There's also replay value here in abundance, surprisingly, as it's very, very addictive.

    95/100 (rounded to 10/10).

    I think the one word I could use to describe this game is that it's just plain awesome. I am not a huge fan of soccer (football), but when you mix it with rockets attached to cars, you get something unique and fun. I can't tell you how many times I've played this with my buddies late at night or simply starting a single player season and hopefully making it to the championship game.

    If you're looking for a fun, repeatable, competitive, sporting experience on console, and FIFA doesn't take your fancy, give Rocket League a try. Football may not be for everyone, but who doesn't love flying, super charged, remote control cars?

    Rocket league is the most addicting game I've ever played before. The game play is fluid, fun, and fast.

The only issue I've come across is skill-based matchmaking which at early levels makes the game fun to learn how t play, but the longer you play and the better you get, The better your competition gets. This would be good, but that means that regular games become try-hard sweat fests and the game has to search a larger area of the world to match players to your skill which means that you do have to deal with bad connections as you are playing players from across the world. Other than that, this game is seemingly perfect.… Expand

    Rocket League is an immensely fun game, centred around the concept of cars playing a giant game of football, that I originally got with PS Plus in July. I, along with many of my friends, were originally skeptical of the game, but eventually warmed to its fun gameplay!

    Single-player is great in itself, with the AIs' of some of your opponents testing your skills. That said, the multiplayer mode takes the game into a whole new dimension in itself, with fun co-op play testing your teamwork skills and even sometimes destroying friendships! The amount of customisation in the game is also mind-blowing, with the player able to choose from a wide selection of vehicles, make them whatever colour they want, add fun and quirky accessories and much more!
    Rocket League has also frequently been updated with DLC, adding new pitches and vehicles, all of which are reasonably priced.
    The game is a great play with very little negatives, and with an Xbox One version in the works and set to release in early 2016, more people will get to enjoy this fantastic game!    … Expand

    With Rocket League, Psyonix have taken such a simple concept and hit a home run with it.

    Let's Break it down.

    Balanced:
    Every car is cosmetic making sure everyone is on the same level no need to Nerf anything. This fact alone makes it the best online game for a long time. Then when you are online there is a solid ranking system that actually matches you quickly to game of similar skill level.

    Fast Paced:
    At 5 minutes a game your attention span is held & it makes for adrenaline filled game play knowing your just a few mins away from loosing or winning. Now let's add in boost for speed altering fun & mayhem adds a dynamic to the game that keeps every moment of the game fun.

    Addictive:
    At 5 min's game who can honestly stop at one? You find your self hooked trying to unlock all cosmetic items that you receive simply by playing a game. This feature alone rewards you to play more, couple that with short games & fast loading times why would you say no to more.

    Simple:
    My dad picked up this game and knew how to play, the rules are simple, the controls, simple. Anyone can pick up and play and have fun. That being said it doesn't stay there. There is enough tricks & abilities such as flying, to give all those who invest time more to achieve & seek.

    Brilliant:
    Rocket League is just the definition of a fun game. Games originally made for leisure & fun, it brings an arcade feel into the 21st century. With constant free updates & tweaks to the game will ensure this game is fun for years to come.    … Expand

    I'm going to revise my launch review from a 9 to a 10. My main quibble back in July was that the AI was terrible, because I was sort of expecting solo play along the lines of Tecmo Super Bowl or something, and that was a bit presumptuous and misguided. Yes, the AI is garbage, but who cares? This might just be the most fun and addictive multiplayer game of the year, and probably the last XI'm going to revise my launch review from a 9 to a 10.

    I can get burnt out on it and take two weeks off, then come back and spend another week's worth of free time playing the hell out of it. Even better, aside from DLC stuff (which is completely optional and not required by any means) there is no need to put more money in the game and still get full enjoyment out of it. It's actually depressing how that is a highlight in this age of gaming, but there ya go.

    More recently they launched a new series of game modes, with some taken from the first battle cars game, that really added a sufficient amount of variety to the game and is heavily utilized by the player base. The only downside is the mode is completely random. I'm not a big fan of the low gravity mode but the big ball and cube ball modes are insanely fun.

    Yes the player base has dropped quite a bit. You won't see 50K players online at low peak times anymore and sometimes you can wait 5 minutes late at night (PST) for a 4v4 game with only 150+ players hanging out in that lobby, but going on six months of life there's still no shortage of games and no game modes that are abandoned. Probably the only downside of Rocket League is being a west coast US nocturnal player (9pm-4am PST), which unfortunately I am.

    This is easily the best $20 you will ever spend. When it goes on sale, it's an absolute steal.    … Expand

    Rocket League is a great game at its core, but the lack of a free camera mode and the crappy matchmaking system take away a lot of the fun. You get matched against pre-made parties that are a lot stronger than your own team all the time.

    It's a sports game for people who don't like sports games! Although there were broken servers at first, the game has a fantastic matching system. AND the game's community hasn't gone to **** like Counter Strike or Minecraft so buy and play it before it does!!!

    Terrific game! I have spent more time on this than almost any other game to date. And to think i got it free on ps plus. Its so simple to learn but will take you weeks to get the proper hang of it. Perfecting your moves comes next - so addictive.

    As far as 20 dollar games go, this is close to a 10. But this game is fun enough to compare to the best of them so I rate it as a premium game. It's a driving game and a sports game melded together. So gratifying to get a last second goal or a dramatic save. If you have the slightest suspicion that you will like this game, you probably will.

    Ruined by the last patch, Matchmaking is broken, the lag is horrendous, rubberbandings, the game is a source of frustration due all this, be sure you get friends to play with, otherwise the game will be boring by the time and after you join into ranked matches you won't be just bored but also frustrated due the one of the worse matchmaking system ever made.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Best game I have played on PS4! Very addictive, in a good way. Considering the simplicity of the game and the developers continued improvement with patches being released, I would rate this a 10. There is room for improvement however, with the developers maybe adding a live tournament knockout mode possibly. 10 teams in a lobby, teams knocked out with a winner decided. I think a lobby would definitely improve the replayability aspect of this game. The ranked seasons mode is okay, however I do think that teams playing a tournament would be way more fun. Teams can be random as well, just like the 3v3 mode is now where you play with random teammates. Still a 10 out of 10 even without this lobby however, as the developers took a simple concept and made it really fun.… Expand

    If you are on the fence, hop over it. This game is one that is easy to pick up and you never stop learning how to improve. There are few games that are so dependent on the user becoming skillful at execution. There are a ton of training modes to help you improve. Seriously buy this game.

The game has a basic premise, control an RC car around a football pitch scoring goals with a giant football. But the game isn't as simple as it appears. Skill comes from hours of practice and playing against the many other online players. Games are 5 mins long and can be played 1 vs 1, 2 vs 2 and 3 vs 3. Games are fast, frantic and brilliant fun, there's nothing quite like scoring and epic goal and watching the replay, which you can save at the end of the game.

    The soundtrack is awesome with a number of unique songs playing as you wait for a game. The community is very nice and people often have fun banter during games. Most people are decent and I've only ever got one negative message after a game, most will congratulate you if you score a great goal.

    The controls are fluent and work well, car designs are cool and can be customised. Levelling up works well and gives you a reason to keep playing. Online it works well, now and then there is lag which is frustrating but 90% of games I've played have been absolutely fine.

    It feels weird to rate a game this highly when on the surface it has very little content and variation, but the amount of fun and playtime I've had with it entirely justifies the score. The controls are very smooth and intuitive and the game runs very well. You get occasional lag spikes when the cars explode but that's about it.

    On a side note, who came up with the idea for this game? Seems like it wouldn't work but it totally does. Making incredible goals and epic saves really gives you a nice adrenaline rush and a sense of achievement. Some of the games get really competitive too and all you can think of is how to make the winning goal and gain everyone's respect. Obviously the game is at its best when you play with friends but a lot of fun can be had even when playing alone.

    I wish there were more cars and customization options though. The devs are making DLC's that add these but this is the case for now. It feels silly that you can unlock all the customization options randomly. I think some of them should be locked behind certain achievements. For example you need to make 3 saves in one game to unlock some specific type of boost.

    But enough with the review, I'm off to play some more Rocket League!

Los desarrolladores de hoy en día tienen que tener en mente que los jugadores esperan nuevos IPs no convencionales.
    El mercado esta atiborrado de lo mismo: Shooters futuristas, simuladores de carreras de circuito o callejeras, representaciones de ligas deportivas y hasta RPGs de mundo abierto representando épocas místicas medievales.
    Es el caso de los desarrolladores indies que han logrado diversificar el mercado con desarrollos no convencionales que retan al jugador a experimentar nuevas formas de entretenimiento. Es el caso de los desarrolladores detrás del éxito comercial de Rocket League tras su lanzamiento en PC y PS4 de forma gratuita para los suscriptores de PlayStation Plus en el mes de Julio, ellos son Psyonix. (Background)

    Rocket League desafío al mercado ofreciendo una semblanza entre el deporte competitivo y las carreras del tipo surrealistas; centrando su objetivo en esta primera, Rocket League pretende llevar acabo una simulación de fútbol soccer pero con una dinámica interesante: a diferencia de simuladores como FIFA de EA Sports o PES de Konami, aquí controlas un sólo personaje (esto anteriormente no les ha funcionado a los AAA dado el poco dinamismo de los AI a la hora de ejecutar jugadas para favorecer el gameplay) en un equipo de entre 1 y 4 integrantes. Lo más interesante de todo es que los jugadores son coches del tipo "tunned" callejero-futurista donde con las habilidades de "jump" o "doble jump", "boost" y derrapes o "steering" se pueden llevar acabo piruetas y trucos para llevar el balón que tiene propiedades distintas a un juego convencional de fútbol, por su excesivo tamaño y levitación prolongada al elevarse, proponiendo la premisa que las leyes de la física se desestiman por la facilidad de poder hasta 'volar' con tu vehículo por la cancha.
    Adicionalmente Rocket League ofrece una gran variedad de personalización a tu coche para presumir en el modo online como para destacar de los oponentes del modo individual con un muy apremiante modo 'temporada'.
    Cabe mencionar lo visualmente atractivo que es el "lobby" del juego con una gran variedad de canciones adecuadas al estilo de juego, y un fondo visual de espectadores en la arena que cautiva al jugador a continuar jugando.

    De esta manera Psyonix otorgó al jugador el combinar la competitividad del juego de pelota con la velocidad de los autos de carreras para proporcionar un modo de juego nuevo y divertido.
    Rocket League es un juego ambiciosos que atraerá tanto a los amantes de los juegos deportivos como a los de carreras hasta el punto de pretender llegar a la portería en NFS y de acelerar con nitro en FIFA.    … Expand

    There are 3 different ranked modes, 4 normal game modes, each mode is a different amount of players. 1 vs 1, 2 vs 2... a.s.o.

    I found 1 vs 1 or 2 vs 2 to be the "easiest" mode because I am quite skilled by now and in 3 vs 3 or 4 vs 4 matches a lot of times, your own team mates are your worst enemies, by "crossing" the ball in front of your own goal and things alike. Servers, need to be mentioned, are pretty stable and games are found quickly in typical gaming hours (not 06:40 am).

    What makes this game feel so great? The outstanding atmosphere is to be mentioned first, nice stadiums in day/afternoon/night light, customizable cars and car types which differ each but are perfectly balanced in strengths and weaknesses. Also while the game is UNREALISTIC, it's PLAUSIBLE. The way, the ball is moving after impact is predictable. Even though you hit the ball with a CAR it's more plausible than some strikes in FIFA. Props to the devs for that.

    I recommend playing with a game pad, although you can play it with a regular keyboard. Steering on a gamepad feels very precisely and compact.    … Expand

    Very addictive game! It very hard to do anything with the ball at first, but the progression curve is pretty steep. The season (campaign) and exhibition options are good features if you prefer to play offline. Online matchmaking is fast.

    This action-packed, fast-paced, 'Top Gear' type car football/soccer game is a thrill! It is pure enjoyment for everyone in the sofa waiting for their turn as well. The ease of play and limited game mechanics lend itself to a steep learning curve to which even the smaller family members can enjoy.

    This is what a sports game should be!! Rocket league was a huge surprise. When I saw it on the Playstation plus free games list I scratched my head becuse I had no clue what it was. I am so glad I downloaded it because this game is so addicting. Im not giving it a ten or nine yet because the server issues can be terrible some times. Great game!

    Best game ever. I owned supersonic acrobatic rocket powered battlecars on ps3 and loved that, but this is just a huge improvement and overall more polished game. To get this game for free justifies buying ps plus subscription, the mechanics are the same as it's predecessor but perfect.

    Awesome multiplayer experience! The game is fast, intense and has great gameplay. It's both hilarious and challenging, and it is purely skill based. At first it seems quite simple and narrow, but as you improve, you realize its depth and why this game has become an official eSport.

    Such a simple game where you play as a RC Car that plays soccer with a bigger sphere but be careful there are a**hats on your team that bump into you, even when you are not the enemy its okay to bump into other players if there on the enemy team not if they are in your team. Also matchmaking is great it takes you like 10 seconds to get into a match on the PS4.

    I've never played a game which is just so fun before (And I've played a lot) This game experienced a hiccup when it was first released with regards to the poor server quality but even then me and my friends laughed like a bunch of giddy school girls. I despise football games and I'm not a fan of racing games but by some miracle both of them put together makes the best multilayer game ever.I've never played a game which is just so fun before (And I've played a lot) This game experienced a hiccup when it was first released with regards to the poor server quality but even then me and my friends laughed like a bunch of giddy school girls.

    The customisation is cool with the cars looking sexy as hell but there is no technical difference between them so there is no reason to use a small thin Paladin when the Merc makes it easier to hit the ball, customisation is cool with my car having a top hat and a peace antenna but I would like some more options like window tint and different bumpers to make the car truly mine.
    The gameplay is far from solid but that is a good thing it can be frustrating when a car flips in the wrong direction but it can also be funny, one thing that gets on my nerves is when your team mate bumps you out of the way for no reason or when you're going for the ball they friendly collision could be toned down a bit.
    The ball is Rocket League's biggest issue with regards that it take way too long to drop especially when it hits the wall, your team mate will attempt to cross it and you just sit there and wait for it to drop so you can score by which time the entire enemy team has set up a position in the goal and the person who crossed it has done a full lap.
    Despite those problems though this game is so damn fun, I play it after work everyday with my friends and I don't see myself stopping any time soon.

    Soccer and Cars, some of my most favorite things in the world, and rocket league combines them brilliantly. This game is pure fun, it looks great, plays great and am so glad they put in split screen. What is a bummer is that the servers are really laggy and you there could have been some more modes or some sort of penalty shoot out if a game ends up a draw.

    I think that' the game I was waiting for. It is just simple fun, just like good old games :)
    I will not write a lot about this game, because there is no disadvantages, for real. It is no some kind of Dark Souls, where you are dying every second and shouting: "The Best game ever! So hard!".

    This game is tremendously overrated. The visuals are boring. The online experience is garbage. The single player gamemode is forgettable. Don't waste your time.

    This one of the purest most fun games I have ever played! Soccer with jumping, boosting cars?! Front flips and spiral hits?!?! Hell yes! I've been on this game every night since it came out and I'm still as excited as my first game. Great job Psyonix

    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.
