    Why is this on the switch? It's just a worse version with the small screen unless you hook it up with the tv and have to get a controller at Gamestop or online or whatever. I just prefer it on ps4.

    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.

    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.

    The camera system of this game is so bad. Also how stupid the developers are, they put players in the middle of the losing match where only 1-2 minutes left in the game and the scoreboard is 4-0/3-0. Even in casual matches, taking leave from the game in such a situation gives punishment.

    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

    Rocket league is fun for the first 10 or so hours, but it gets repetitive and stale after that. The only incentive to continue playing is competitive, and that can be very challenging. Although it is a unique concept and is fairly well developed, if you are not into competitive online games this is not your cup of tea.

    6 / 10 - Nice
    (after playing 15h (Nintendo Switch) and 200h (Steam))

    Unfortunately, the Nintendo Switch version looks pretty ugly and doesn't work very well. Still, it's nice to play with someone on a split screen and drink beer to it, but it will not work if we want to improve our playing skills

    How do you make soccer more appealing to a wider audience? You let them drive cars on the field, have the ball erupt in a massive explosion with every goal, and allow players to literally demolish the competition at high speeds. Making it free-to-play also helps.

    That last thing does open the door for a little microtransaction nastiness, but nothing too bad. There's a battle pass system    How do you make soccer more appealing to a wider audience? You let them drive cars on the field, have the ball erupt in a massive explosion with every goal, and allow players to literally demolish the competition at high speeds. Making it free-to-play also helps.

    That last thing does open the door for a little microtransaction nastiness, but nothing too bad. There's a battle pass system similar to Fortnite where buying a season will grant you unique rewards as you rank up and certain blueprints for things like cosmetic items require a purchasable in-game currency to build. You never need or feel pressured to actually buy anything and it's pretty good at doling freebies every now and then. Still, if you want the really cool stuff you're going to have to part with some cash.

    While accessible to even the most casual of gamers, there is a lot of depth here for those looking for a demanding competitive experience. Mastering your hydraulic fueled jumps to direct shots midair and learning how to best use the boosts scattered across the arena allows for a surprising amount of complexity to come from such a simple concept.

    If there's one area where the title suffers it's in the amount of content. There are a few variations of the base match type that do things like give you randomized power-ups pulled straight out of a kart racer or replace the ball with a puck in riffs on other sports. Not to mention some great social features like cross-platform support that allow you to play with your friends regardless of their console (or PC) of choice. Still, at the end of the day Rocket League really is just soccer with cars. So while it can be very addicting not everyone will be hooked long-term.

    Should you go for the Switch version you get a few bonuses in the form of some Nintendo-themed skins and cosmetics, on top of the option to play it on the go. It's also a wonderful choice for financially challenged gamers as you don't need the online subscription to join a match. All of which help make this a game that, while I'm perhaps not totally crazy about, will be part of my multiplayer rotation for quite some time.    … Expand

    What a useless port to the Switch, littered with bad graphics and innumerable bugs and very poor performance overall.
    The game cannot even run smooth on a wired connection, not to mention the atrocity that is the wireless connection.
    Split-screen is very much not worth your time, as the camera is odd/off at all times.

    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.
