Rocket League Review

Rocket League is a soccer game with cars. Also called Soccar it was developed and published by Psyonix. Released in 2015 Rocket League is one of the most played multiplayer games on PC. The objective of the game is to hit the ball into the other teams goal with your car. The team with the most goals when the time runs out, wins. There is different game modes you can play. One VS one, Two VS two, three and four. Also there is a hockey game mode where instead of a ball there is a hockey puck. Another game mode I will mention is like basket ball where the ball gets knocked into a hoop. The most common game mode is three VS three. The most fun is to be had in online mode but there is also a career mode where you can go to learn the fundamentals of the game.

During the game you will win matches, score goals, centre balls, set up goals and save goals. All these things contribute to ranking up in level and unlocking decals and accessories for your vehicle. There are many vehicles to choose from as well as tires and hats and flags. These aesthetic changes do not affect the cars performance as it is a level playing field. The game is best played with a controller. The controls are normal controls for a driving game with a hand brake, afterburner, accelerator, brake, jump and a button to follow where the ball is.

Once you get used to the controls you will be jumping, sliding and speeding the ball into the other teams goal. When a goal is scored all cars in the immediate area are thrown into the air away from the goal. These special effects are what makes the game so exciting to play. The stadiums are plenty and the music and atmosphere are great. 

The game also lets you create a party where you can join with your friends and play. There is a split screen mode for two local players but you need two controllers connected and I have not tested that. You don't need a fast computer to run the game but you do need an internet connection.

This is one of the most fun multiplayer games I have played.

I give it 9.7/10
