    An incredible game created by incredible developers that care for quality and their fans. Psyonix have put so much effort into creating this car football sequel and have delivered exactly what fans from the community have asked for. (And more!)

    The visuals are colourful, over the top and impressive.
    Physics and gameplay are perfect and the game plays just how it should.
    Loads of customisation items. Literally millions of different combinations.
    The online is very very stable.
    Various ways to play with friends including up to 4 player split screen.
    Cross play for PC and PS4.
    A season mode for offline play.
    Replay editor which also acts as a photo mode is a very welcome feature.
    Future support for the game confirmed, including DLC and free stadiums.
    Day one release on PlayStation Plus for free is a wonderful bonus and a very loyal move from Psyonix to their fans.

    This game is tons of fun and is the most fun I've had with a game in ages. You won't regret picking this up. Although you may never put it down.    … Expand

    Absolutely in love with this game. The learning curve is fairly steep when it comes to actually playing well, but the game is a blast. Next to Outlast, this has been the best game to release so far for Playstation Plus. Having a lot of fun with my friends online when it is working and I cannot wait to play it more.

    Ok, I'll be the first to admit, I didn't think this game could really be very good.

It's accessible, has steady graphics, no lag, and the matchmaking is phenomenal most of the time. If I had to find a complaint it would be that the AI players who sometimes get slotted in are overpowered and dont make many mistakes.

    If you have PS+, you have no excuse. Go download this game. If you don't, you still have no excuse. Take $20 and download this game.    … Expand

    Roll-on to 2015 and the spiritual sequel (perhaps redux), Rocket League arrives, and to say its a step in the right direction is perhaps understating it!!

    A host of different single-player and multi-player options should cover everybodys tastes, and this perhaps is the icing on the cake to the gameplay. The concept of football using cars is taken to its most fun and competitive and even if you think that you can't play this, you will, thanks to really well-thought controls and presentation that doesn't confuse the player, rather it assists whilst delivering all the necessary punch.

    The only negative point right now is the online (server issues), but they are improving, and in this weekend just gone I've spent a fair few hours playing this online.

    Rocket League is perhaps a game that is devoid of words to elevate it anymore or debate it: for if you are then you're missing the point. Play it for goodness sake, enjoy it, and see you online!!    … Expand

    Rocket League is a must have for all the competition lovers out there! It's great fun and even more: local multiplayer! So many new games don't have this feature anymore, with Rocket League it's a blast to play with up to 3 friends.

    Simply put, this is the most fun and exhilarating game I have played on the PS4.

    It's got a great split screen so you can play with friends on the couch, which is something I feel is sorely lacking in games today. The gameplay is simple enough to entertain first time players but complex enough to allow experienced players to refine their skills and pull off incredible plays.

The game is $20 on Steam / PS4, but it's currently free with PS+. This game will have you jumping out of your seat and screaming at the TV, I haven't had this much fun with a game since Halo 3.

    A fun, addictive and gorgeous video game. It's fun to play with friends and even if you don't have friends online it can still be a fun game. The visual customization is pretty extensive and the controls are quite challenging (which is a good thing). The game is constantly updated with new content so the game never gets too old. Rocket League is awesome.

    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.

You unlock cool new things after every game, regardless of how you performed, so even if things go badly you're never left feeling too hard-done-by. All of the features are really intuitive, even the little things like being able to find a new game without having to back out to the main menu, all go a long way in making an unbeatably fun experience. Certainly worth playing, even if you're not into sports or cars!… Expand

    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.    … Expand

    You can play offline 2 vs 2 split screen or even 4 vs 4 online (with 3 of your friends sharing the same tv as you). Simply put, any combination works for this game. and that's a really cool feature especially considering how many devs are leaving the Split screen options behind in favor of pure online experiences.

    Great game, hope they continue to make more improvements on it.    … Expand

    Everything is so perfectly executed. Rocket League is extremely addictive and an extraordinary sequel to the good old ps3 classic SSARPBC. It's fast paced and every match is incredibly intense. The controls are smooth and it just feels awesome navigating the stadiums with your car.

    The sense of speed causes adrenaline to surge constantly. So challenging and fun. Your car possesses so much power, but the more you use, the harder it is to keep things under control. You are limited never by unlocks or equipment, but only the insanely high skill cap.

    Here is a quick description: Halo 'Griffball' meets Fat Princess 'Soccer-mode' meets Twisted Metal meets soccer. This game is mechanically sound and you will not have any fundamental complaints in regards to control, camera, and responsiveness. Very fun with friends. It is free on PS+ currently. Do not miss this game.

    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.
