Rocket League delivers all the refinements and improvements befitting a sports sequel, and is a brilliantly boisterous and enthralling game in its own right.

Rocket League may only feel like a glorified minigame, but its wild, tense, and fast-paced gameplay makes it one of PS4's best multiplayer experiences to date.

Rocket League isn't so great solo, but it's a fantastic multiplayer title that's easy to pick up but surprisingly deep.

Still, Rocket League is one of those games that almost anyone can pick up and enjoy, yet still find themselves getting better at after dozens of hours of play. It's a throwback to the good old days of gaming, when fun mattered more than anything.

Accessible yet tough to master. Rocket League was an amazing surprise and easily one of the best sports games this year.

A very entertaining cross genre entry that blew us away with it's replay value and vehicular mayhem. If you like sports and cars, this game can provide a lot of fun.

Rocket League brings car soccer into the current generation of gaming and the latest release from Psyonix is easily one of the most fun games we've played all year.

Rocket League is mechanically simple, but utterly brilliant because of it.

It's July, but I can't imagine that I'm going to play enough games to knock Rocket League off of my "game of the year" list. It is that much fun. It's a blast, and it's actually just as much fun to watch — which is evident by the number of popular livestreams you can watch of Rocket League on Twitch.

Every game has highlight-reel worthy moments, which is amazing considering the five-minute matches

Rocket League can offer some invaluable fun and playtime. It's hard to beat solid mechanics and a sense of camaraderie you usually only get from playing sports. So gear up, head out to the pitch, and score some goals for all the kids who wished they owned Tyco RC cars years ago.

Rocket League is a fantastic arcade game that harkens back to the era where games were supposed to be fun. It looks and plays great, and despite some rough online matches and lack of variety, it constitutes one of the best multiplayer games you can play these days

Most sports would probably be better if human participants were replaced with cars. While this thesis is typically reserved for late night conversations with close friends, Psyonix accepted it as a genuine assignment and produced Rocket League. It's soccer with cars—and the execution of this idea has no business being as good as the fantasy.

Rocket League was great back when I got to preview it, but having more time with it really made it clear just how much the developer Psyonix has managed to zero in on what's fun about the experience. It has a very limited set of modes currently, and the single-player feels a little flat; but the multiplayer is glorious, fast paced fun, with short explosive play sessions that you just want to keep coming back to, with plenty of amazing moments where you won't believe you—or another player—managed to make that shot.

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.

An enormously enjoyable bit of fun for the summer months. A multiplayer cult classic in waiting.
