This came out of nowhere last summer and took gamers by storm as this vehicular soccer influenced game made waves across the industry.
Over the last year, new modes, cars and customizations have been added in that made this a well-rounded product.
The premise is simple, a standard team of 3 cars go against another team trying to score goals by any means necessary. The spectacle of nitrous fueled cars fly through the air for insane goals is breathtaking.
“Rocket League” is one of the few games after 2400 matches , where I can honestly say it never gets old.
Controls are simple, being easy to pick up and play for any newcomers to win with basic moves. Although, over time as the player learns the mechanics, complex plays will become a regular occurrence.
The online ranking system is addictive, while being a bit flawed as teams can be mismatched often enough to cause frustrations of having to play a loosing battle.
Offline 2 on 2’s make one of the most enjoyable couch multiplayer experiences since Smash Bros or Mario Kart.
Rocket League just had a collectors edition hit stores with all the DLC, making a great starting point for this excellent title.
