    Way better on the switch or pc. The one thing I don't like are the physics in the air and the fact you can get matched with Platinum or Diamond as a silver at times. Still, great game.

    Fun and addictive. Nothing groundbreaking about this game, but there is nothing wrong with it either. It's fun and very competitive, easy to pick up and enjoy, but hard to master, fast-paced but also requires team work.. etc. I don't even like soccer, but soccer with cars? closest thing to a soccer game I'll ever play/watch, and it is well worth the admission fee.

    Pros:
    A game about pure fun
    Makes sports fun
    Robust ranking system

    Cons:
    Skill curve can be sharp
    Since the game is competitive it attracts horrible people
    Voice chat can be annoying

    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.

    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.

    A great, quick and addictive arcade esport.
    Easy to understand, incredibly tough to master.
    Cars + rockets + soccer = FUN

    A must, with a low price (0 for who had psplus some month ago, still a good price for new players.)

    Rocket League is a fun game to play with friends. My best friend described it best: "an emotional rollercoaster at every turn." It's a game with depth and longevity, which will save its sometimes shallow gameplay.

    A exceedingly fun game with a great amount of customization. The game could use a few more games modes instead of just the one but it till serves to be fun enough. I have had connection issues online on the PS4 but not on the PC version. Worth a pick up but more content should be added so it doesn't become stale soon.

    It's a very fun little competitive game. Once you get to learn the mechanics, you can really turn this game into a complicated struggle against other players online. Anyone who's played this game can at least tell you it runs, plays, looks great. The rest comes down to whether this game is for you.

    This is one hell of a fun game. Everybody who says indie titles are crap should give it a try.
    It could be a bit more diversified - I would love some power-ups or even weapons. Maybe some grease spots or something. Also the ball sometimes acts really unnaturaly (it hits the corner and hangs in ther for god knows how long), and the camera is actually not really helping to see what is

    this games wasn’t designed to be anything but pure fun,
    no challenge, just fun and very simple.
    Anyone can hop in and instantly understand how to play
    there is a season mode with various difficulties to choose from where you try to win the championship from ai controlled opponents and partners.
    If your team isn’t full by time the match starts online, you are also teamed up with ai partners.
    The ai however can occasionally do more harm than good, hitting the ball in the wrong net, and overly just not aggressive enough when it comes to taking shots to be all too helpful
    I understand that this is to prevent ai teams from being over powered, but when youre the one stuck with the ai team, it can be a little frustrating.
    Match making is great though, even if you have a crappy connection, matches are a breeze to get into
    if you find yourself getting your but handed to you, there is a training mode to teach you have to effectively use your boosts and tricks, and how to effectively make shots and block shots as a goalie.
    The game features 11 cars and thousands of combinations to make your rocket car yours
    however I find it highly annoying that you cant customize each car individually.
    your settings carry over to each car, which sucks considering each cars style is different and has its own personality.
    it sucks having to go in and change things every time you want to drive a new car.
    Also good or bad depending how you look on it, all cars handle the same.
    there are no perks to use to your advantage.
    everybody goes into each match steroid free.
    A very even playing field.
    There a few minor annoyances such as ai and a few pretty big annoyances such as party creation not always working and customization not sticking to individual cars.
    but overall Rocket League is a really fun and addictive game to play both online or at home with a friend

    This game was alot of fun. There isnt much in terms of objectives other than to put the giant ball into the opposing teams goal. And sometimes, thats all you need to do in life. Its easy to boot up and get involved in some quick games to relieve stress or to go on a rocket league marathon. The graphics and gameplay are great. Car customization is good, but could be improved.

    This game really shines in multiplayer. And by multiplayer, i mean having your friends online to play with/against. Its hilarious or competitive depending on what you prefer. Only comment I have is that if your not very good (like me) after a while it can feel like it lacks depth in options/customization/single player seasons. Also the trophies were very easy, and could easily be boosted.

    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!

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.

    Es un juego bastante adictivo, tal asi que si yo fuera bueno, lo juegaria más todavia. Muy divertido, para jugar con amigos, buen soundtrack y lo mejor es que tiene una jugabilidad facil para cualquier jugador. Recomendado.

    Rocket League is a game that every once and awhile can be very addicting during the weekend. I love this game but even I know there are noticeable flaws in this game. Before I go over flaws about this game. Just know that my overall score for this game is 8.4 - 10. This will be tough for me, but its for the better of those that found this that want to get into this game. #1 - TheRocket League is a game that every once and awhile can be very addicting during the weekend.

This will be tough for me, but its for the better of those that found this that want to get into this game. #1 - The Community, oh lord the community, though its obviously not entirely bad, it's still incredibly and unbelievably toxic for car soccer standards. You would think that people would just have fun as they work up the ranks but nope, toxicity everywhere, especially in the higher ranks. #2 - Though the match-making in my opinion is overall pretty solid, Its really bad in detecting smurfs and can give you pretty unfair matches, especially in doubles. #3 - Sometimes the servers can be almost unplayable at any given time, some days you'll be fine and other days psyonix tries to sabotage you. #4 - In my opinion, I feel like rumble is a gamemode that you can only enjoy when playing with friends. In fact, I think it's probably very fun and addicting with friends, but when you're playing with random strangers, its either just not fun and kinda boring, or annoying with strangers spamming their items or boosts. #5 - Unless I'm missing something, why does camera shake exist? #6 - Sometimes it feels like I can get demo'd no matter how slightly my car is touched. There has been a couple of occasions where my car has been slighty swiped or door'd and It registers a demoltion. Might as well tickle my car with a feather and then quickly run before I explode. #7 - The cpu cars in this game are probably the easiest a.i. I have ever faced in a video game because they weren't coded to be able to boost in the air to hit the ball while its in the air, they basically just wait until the ball drops. The all star and "unfair" a.i. difficulties can easily get blown out by double digits if you tried. And that's it. Those are the only noticeable issues that I have had with the game. Again, my overall review of the game is 8.4 - 10. I love this game, don't get me wrong, but I have seen these things happen and I want to warn newcomers of this of you come across this. Please keep this in your mind if you get into the game. Thank you for reading. Expand

    Football/Soccer with cars? Count me in! So many tricks to do and ways to play, it's very easy to pick up and incredibly addictive!

    Car customization is decent, you can make your car look pretty stylish, quite edgy, or very goofy.

    I find the fact that the cars look like toys very charming, it gives the game its own personal art-style in a very creative way.

    Final Rating: "Great" ~ 8/10.

    The fact that this game is cross plattform is the only reason i like it. If you like cars its mediocre, if you like soccer its a disaster. But if you like fast paced games where you can fool around with your friends its a blast.

    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.

    If you have PlayStation Plus, this game is a no-brainer, as it's free right now. For everyone else, it's not a must-buy at its $22 asking price (least on Steam).

    The game itself controls relatively well, though with a few bits here and there that break the intense gameplay. The ball spends way too much time hanging in the air, especially when flying up the walls and corners. It also doesn't help that the "Ball Cam" is not exactly the most reliable angle to get you into the right position when the ball is high in the air.

    The AI in the game can be pretty brutal at times for those playing offline. Your teammates will often get in your way, they love to hit the ball to the side when you had a straight shot at the goal. They are coin-tosses to how well they play, one minute they make a spectacular save or shot to score a goal, the next they take the ball for the opposing side and direct it all the way into their own net. Would suggest playing on Rookie only when first learning the game, after 2-3 games switch to Pro as you can score way too easily off the center line.

    I can't say much for online just yet, the servers have not been working for me since I got the game today, which is a downer for a game that clearly has potential to have some staying power, perhaps even a small amount of players to create some sort of an e-sports scene. It does have the right mixture of video gaming wrapped in a sports bubble, it can definitely attract attention beyond the typical e-sports crowd that would normally watch Starcraft or LoL/DOTA.

    At this point in time, unless you can get it free off of PS Plus, I'd wait for the game to drop in price a little bit, I can't say I would happily pay $20 for this given its current state. But if you're really interested in a soccer game played with cars instead of human players, this is a very solid effort at creating just that.

    Like I said, the difficulty problem is the biggest con of this truly fun game. I played one full match with the CPU, the others, I raged quit. I truly loved the online experience. I played a hundred matches on launch day.

    This game sounded good on paper, but didn't quite transfer well to the game engine

    Why don't I rate it higher after praising it so much? 7 is actually an excellent rating. Just I mentioned, I'm not a fan of sports games and a 7 is pretty much the higher I can rate a game within the genre due to its repetitive nature and lack of campaign mode. It is also true that I really sucked at this game and the community can be pretty toxic at times.

    Basically, do you want a worth-while experience that blends racing and sports perfectly and deliver some tense PvP moments? Definitely give this one a try. The learning curve to master it might be steep but if you're patient you might become addicted to it.

    The proposal of the game is good, but the execution is not satisfactory. The game is very repetitive and there are no differences between the cars although it is a free game it could be better worked with more game modes. Overall it is a game that you will play once with friends and then forget about it.
