    At first when i got it, it was good! The graphics were the best, Gameplay is kinda hard but when you get used to it, it becomes easy! But the problems that the game said i should "verify my account" or something like that, and i don't know what to do, so i archived the game and now i don't play it anymore. Overall this is a 9/10

    Le jeu est trop bien et trop amusant, il devient exigeant lorsque l'on monte dans les rangs en ranked.

    Rocket League es un juegazo. No se le puede pedir más a un free to play: Buena jugabilidad, divertidísimos modos de juego y un gameplay que, aunque al principio puede parecer muy difícil, acaba siendo realmente entretenido. El competitivo de este juego es muy bueno y el sistema de recompensas no está nada mal; y la música del juego también es de reseñar. Si que es cierto que se le echa enRocket League es un juegazo.

Si que es cierto que se le echa en falta algún modo de juego más, o por lo menos que los modos de eventos sean permanentes (como el de Halloween). También, a veces da algunos bajones de frames en esta versión de switch, pero aun así no se nota mucho. Eso sí, solo el hecho de que se pueda jugar fuera de casa gracias a la portabilidad en esta consola hace que el juego merezca la pena. Juego muy recomendable. 8,8/10

    I play mostly on PC and PS5 but have this installed on my Switch for playing with my kids. It runs well! Just, obviously, at much lower resolution.
    The only way to pull a negative from this game is to say its just not your cup of tea. Skill matters, monetisation is light and the fun component is high. Even if your skill is low, and trust me, mine is low, you can have a blast if you love

    Rocketleague is one of the biggest skillgames that has ever been created. The amount of tech and the skill ceiliing is almost infinite. To give this game a fair shot you need to really put in multiple hours and get over a steep learning curve which might detere some players. But once you get the high once, it is extremely hard to put down.

    Very good game, the music goes exactly with the game, the design is very noice, the gameplay is good,
    Just one thing I thought missed was kind of a “chill” place where you could meet other players without a match in some kind of small open world place, where you could idk duel people in a match if u want or trade

    This game is actually really good but Pysonix and or epic games just needs to put in more time and invest more into the game because it has so much potential .They should invest is designs for the website and also add CROSS PLATFORM TRADING! Yes i am emphasizing that.

    Rocket League is one of the best competitive online games of all time, it has great mechanics and the overall gameplay is just addictive.
    Not to mention they usually add some great piece of songs to the game from MonsterCat.
    I guess it's worth giving it a 9.

    Controls are better than kbm, other than that there isn't much difference between pc besides some free hats and a car and also more lag.

    This game is actually really fun, I think it makes it better when your playing with your friends, but I’m not really a fan of playing online, but it’s overall a great game in general

    The highly addictive and exciting gameplay of Rocket League on the go. The Switch is perfect for this game. Everything works exactly as it should, it’s the same gameplay that’s easy to pick up and play but has an incredible amount of depth along the learning curve.

I haven’t been a fan of how the game has been doing micro transactions in recent years, but luckily all of the unlockables are all cosmetic - and there is a ton of it. Expand

    This is the goat of all games. When you have 400 hours in most games your in the top percentage of the community while in rl you are gold. Deserted island gaming.

    This game is pretty good, 8 because I think there's not much options. I mean, that's over week/two you gonna think (I want more), but you can't get this.

    Good.

    Amazing soundtrack, OK controls, really feels good to win, not so much to lose, nearly endless creative customization.

    The game is very entertaining, one of the best in multiplayer, they add new content all the time, the best of all free and without the need to have an online switch

    Tout simplement génial et très additif! J'adore le système de saison comme dans Call Of ou tu gagnes des choses plus tu augmente de niveau ! Super sur switch , beau graphique et gameplay

    The same experience as PC and PS4. I put hundreds of hours in it. Well done Psyonix!!

    The game is awesome! The idea of soccer with jumping and flipping cars inside of a fishbowl is pure genius. However, I wish there was switch only player rankings and matchups as other systems/computers have frame rate/ input advantages over switch players.

    Surprisingly fun, hard to put down for the first 200hrs. You're a car, and there is a ball. You can fly for short bursts. Plenty of laughs, a few chirps, one or two cries.

    Sure there are some salty dogs,but they won't bother you as long as you rotate. Seriously...R-O-T-A-T-E.

    There are hidden layers of depth to this one, I know it. This is some profound stuff, right here. If you’re the sort of guy/gal who can spend hours in art galleries oohing and ahhhing over a painting of a big red dot, seeing all manner of hidden meanings that are lost on the rest of us mere mortals, maybe you can explain this one to us.

    What is ‘fork?’ How does one become fork? Will

    What is ‘fork?’ How does one become fork? Will this, in future generations, become the standard by which all greatness in video games is measured? I couldn’t possibly tell you, because I’ve got no freaking idea what’s going on here. All I know is that you are either fork, or you are not fork. Rocket League, the game in question here, seems to have the potential to become fork.

    The Good: Portable Rocket League, Graphics are impressive for a portable game, frame rate is surprisingly consistent, a massive online community, gameplay feels fresh - something different from the usual online sports games/FPS', soundtrack is great and captures the games atmosphere really well

    The Bad: Switch Version sometimes can dip in and out of good connection, for a pro the switch
    The Good: Portable Rocket League, Graphics are impressive for a portable game, frame rate is surprisingly consistent, a massive online community, gameplay feels fresh - something different from the usual online sports games/FPS', soundtrack is great and captures the games atmosphere really well

    The Bad: Switch Version sometimes can dip in and out of good connection, for a pro the switch port isn't the best, prices of in game items (wheels, decals ect.) are way too expensive, online communication tedious

    Other notes: The Switch version of Rocket League is a great port, and for more casual players is a great way to play the game. For someone really interested in accessing all of the games features and potential in a serious manner, the switch version isn't the definitive version. Personally, I don't really care about online communication or if the switch isn't the 'best' way to play the game, so I'd give it a 9/10, however the score drops 1-2 points if you are looking for the best way to play.

    Great sports/racing game! So you're basically playing soccer with cars. The main objective is to shoot the ball into the goal by driving a car. The graphics are great, but the Nintendo Switch version has been a bit resolution-reduced. Good gameplay and fun multiplayer. A must-play.

    to be honest, i have absolutely no idea how to get good at this game, but perhaps that's the point. I think it's supposed to be chaotic. it's fun

    It's an incredibly fun game. There isn't a grand narrative, but that never stopped me from liking Smash 4. The game is the game to play with friends. I recommend it to all gamers

    Even if you're not aiming to lead the League, I still consider this a must-own for Switch owners. [Issue #31 – January/February 2018, p. 24M]

    While I did notice some occasional rubberbanding on the Switch while playing on the go – which is likely a symptom of having to use WiFi in handheld mode – the majority of my online matches were smooth and consistent and all platforms.

    Overall, there’s a lot of fun packed into Rocket League, and this port to the Nintendo Switch manages to keep all of that intact. If you’ve never played, you absolutely should, and the Switch version of the game makes for a solid addition to Nintendo’s ever growing library.
