Rocket League Reviews
In the end Rocket League is absolutely one of my favorite games of all time and I’m thrilled to finally be able to play it on the Switch. While I’ve never enjoyed competitive multiplayer sports titles once I got the basic mechanics of the game down and had my first incredible goals and saves it hooked me completely. Playing against people better than you is often humbling but it is also instructive. So much in the game is about first understanding what is possible and then working to figure out how to do it yourself. That shot off the wall where they then boosted off to follow the ball to the goal? Someone had to think big and crazy and then practice to do it first. It’s exhilarating when you pull off great plays and in general I’d say the community of people you’ll play with and against is among the most polite, overall, I’ve ever interacted with. The great news is that Rocket League is absolutely playable and still that terrific game experience on the Nintendo Switch, I’m only sad that it isn’t quite good enough that I’d say if you have the option to play it on other platforms you won’t want or need to anymore.
If you need a simple and fun game, playable with friends whether at home or online and offering an original formula, Rocket League is a perfect pick on Nintendo Switch as long as you are not nitpicky about graphics. This weird and crazy merge between two easy theme - football and driving game - is a wonderful demonstration that simple ideas, when well treated, can yield excellent games. The games will flow, with good laughs, and award all hardcore gamers who will invest time to move forward and do good deeds. It lacks a bit of content and variety in the game modes, as well as a noticeable graphical difference between all four platforms, but I do believe the developers Psyonix will fix this easily.
When all is said and done, Rocket League on Switch is a great version of the game. It manages to deliver the same addictive experience as its more powerful siblings whether playing docked or handheld and, even though graphically it may not be as strong, this is an easy recommendation for any Switch owner.
It's Rocket League, and it's incredibly entertaining. Static screens do not do this game justice; yes it's a little rough visually but you will hardly notice because you will be having so much fun. It's brilliant. If you love fun, football and/or racing you'll love this.
Rocket League is an absolute must on the Switch. Its pick-up-and-play nature shines through on Nintendo’s portable console that even minor technical drawbacks can’t dampen. If you own a Switch, you need to get Rocket League.
Rocket League is fast, fun, frantic, and borderline addictive. It is a must-buy for anyone after that competitive esport experience on Nintendo Switch.
Rocket League is another must-have title to add to the growing list of great games you need in your Switch collection.
Rocket League is an insanely fun game and absolutely worth its price. It's quite possible that its pricetag is lower simply due to the available unintrusive further monetization options. This is of course a good thing for the budget-orientated gamer.
Rocket League is easy to learn but hard to master. Even after dozends of hours you'll still find ways to improve your play style. Fair matchmaking, regular updates with new items, maps and gameplay changes all combine to a great gaming experience - especially with friends!

Rocket League is a fun and addicting battle cars sports game with lots of intensity and great core mechanics that proves to be a great sports video game of 2015. Overall, Rocket League is a fun and addicting sports game and a great eSports title addition. The game's optimization is very impressive, core mechanics are easy to learn and to get by, and the stunning graphics which overlooks the lack of LAN feature and still makes this game a great candidate for Best Sports Game of 2015.
If you're looking for a game to relax and have fun with your friends/girlfriend/family, I would suggest Rocket League. For $19.99, you cannot go wrong with this game!
Rocket League is a perfect addition to the sports and racing genre. Amusing gameplay with a variety of modes is complemented by a sophisticated tutorial, ideally suited to newcomers, along with the tremendous possibilities to customize your car.

"Doesn't benefit from Switch's online infrastructure."

For as fantastic as Rocket League can be, it's a tough road to tread, and the higher-than-standard price could be all for naught if you don't tough it out and eventually come to appreciate it in all its glory.
One of the tried and true methods for creating novelty lies in taking two separate things people love, and mashing them together. The results can fluctuate, and are often self-indulgent, but they always seem to tickle a certain fascination: Doctor Who in Star Trek, some alcohol in your coffee, and of course, countless Taco Bell experiments. For gamers, one need only peruse through the endless pages of Steam to see a variety of genre crossovers. Play a hero in your tower defense, shoot down hordes of enemies as you strategize in your RTS, and of course, voxel everything. However, it's rare that inspiration and execution come together as perfectly as they have in Psyonix's driving/soccer hybrid Rocket League. Overall, Rocket League nails the digital sport, creating a game where finesse, practice, and strategy coalesce into an experience that's accessible, deep, and enjoyable.
A very unique game with loads of content, paid and free
Rocket League has a lot to offer, from exhibition mode, season mode to online multiplayer. Customisation is another cool feature that makes your car how you want it, you can change your cars boy, colour, decal, rocket trail and antenna, I'm currently using a hotrod with hotrod wheels, TRON style rocket trail and a Twitch flag antenna while sporting a nice top hat.
There is a reason everyone has been talking up this game. It is that good. Mash the download button and start hitting balls with cars as soon as possible.
Rocket League is not only worth your money because it costs a third of what most other games cost, it's worth your money because you can't get the same kind of experience anywhere else.
Rocket League is one of those rare sports games that serves both the casual and hardcore crowds really well in ways that we see out of games like NFL Blitz, NBA Jam, Tecmo Super Bowl, NHL 94, and others with the surprising thing here being that Rocket League isn’t based on an already established sport.
