Rocket League Reviews
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 on the Switch is like winning an all expenses paid vacation to Florida. Yes, it's Florida, but you still won a free vacation.
Everyone should try this game, even if you hate cars or football.
Rocket League is pure fun.
Despite a few camera issues and lack of modes, Rocket League is a fun, addicting experience that will keep players engaged for a long time.
Accessible yet tough to master. Rocket League was an amazing surprise and easily one of the best sports games this year.
At its core Rocket League is gameplay perfected and with a suite of multiplayer options, the game will see life for many months to come.
One of the purest, most exciting multiplayer experiences
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.
The formula that has kept Rocket League fresh translates exceedingly well to Nintendo's hybrid system, whether docked or portable. Less polished visuals are a small price to pay to be able to play Rocket League anytime, anywhere, at a performance level that never quits, though the notable jaggies and (through no fault of its own) a hindered party system mean that the Switch version isn't the most competitive version of the game.
Rocket League is mechanically simple, but utterly brilliant because of it.
Psyonix's rocket-powered battle cars soccer hybrid is an insanely fun and surprisingly deep sports game, and is my game of the year.
Rocket League has that 'one more match' appeal that every multiplayer game dreams of
Simplicity is the secret ingredient in Rocket League's fun. If the game didn't nail the 'feel' of the game then perhaps the reception of the game would have been very different but everything just 'clicks' and works together to create one of the most genuinely enjoying games I have played in a very long time.
Rocket League is a blast to play and will have you coming back for more, time and time again.
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.
For the price, Rocket League is a no-brainer. Some of the best fun of the year comes in the form of a radio-controlled car soccer mash-up, springing to life in local multiplayer, but with online options crammed in for good measure. It earns its place as a great little Easter egg arcade title for the PlayStation 4, and should go on to see many years of action.
Relatively very minor gripes aside, Rocket League is a genuinely new type of game that provides addictive, enjoyable, skill-based fun that doesn't prevent new players from joining the fray and which never threatens to become dull. Even folks who aren't necessarily excited by football, sports in general, or cars will find something to love here and for many, it'll become their new favourite pastime. This is absolutely superb and will keep you entertained for many, many hours.
Rocket League is an extremely well designed and presented game, a veritable feast for the senses at times, and an undeniably addictive experience. It blends sports and styles but it also solidifies this bizarre hybrid into a streamlined, hugely appealing presentation. The AI falls a little shy and the single-player fun can't hold a candle to the multiplayer entertainment but besides that, it's hard to find fault.
Amazing, simply amazing. Rocket League has the perfect balance of fun and competitive gameplay and is a must for…well anyone really.
