    A kinda fun game that can be a bit buggy at times... and is already getting monotonous after week of release.

    I never really knew what to make of this game before; especially as I declined the beta invite; but now that the game has released in some form; I can now say that it's not a complete mess like I was worried about it being, but it's also not something I would buy right now given the server issues I experienced in my time with the game. Though the style is admittedly pretty neatI never really knew what to make of this game before; especially as I declined the beta invite; but now that the game has released in some form; I can now say that it's not a complete mess like I was worried about it being, but it's also not something I would buy right now given the server issues I experienced in my time with the game. Though the style is admittedly pretty neat aesthetically, it looks and plays like a game that came out in the PS2/Gamecube/OG Xbox era. It's not the worst game ever, but I don't plan on spending more time with it until updates are released to deal with bugs and PVP balance; and I recommend others do the same. It's not the worst battle royale experience on Switch, but there's also far better to be had.… Expand

    I don’t make this comparison lightly, but Knockout City almost reminds me of the elegance of Rocket League – it’s that combination of simple and fresh, where it’s easy to understand but offers a sky-high skill ceiling. Only time will tell if Knockout City has as long a tail, but it deserves a chance.

    An addictive action-sports hybrid with plenty of customisation options, rotating gameplay modes and an exciting roadmap ahead, Knockout City earns its spot as a multiplayer mainstay in valuable Switch SD card real estate for the foreseeable future.

    With style to spare and refined gameplay, Knockout City knows exactly what game it is. That happens to be an excellent, highly addictive, online slugfest.
