    It's a blast to play and it only gets better as skills improve over time and as the competition ramps up. It's a game that everyone, whether they’re big into sports video games or just can’t seem to get into them, will really enjoy.

    Rocket League is a pure videogame defined by an excellent mixture of its mechanics. It's extremely fun, addictive, one of the best competitive experiences of this year on PS4.

    Rocket League has the most addicting gameplay we experienced in a while now. Playing this game reminded us why we fell in love with gaming in the first place.

    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.

    Fast, simple and funny variation of football with devices shines especially in multiplayer.

    Rocket League does everything needed to create a kick ass sports game. It's simple enough to learn the mechanics in a few minutes, but also complicated enough to require several hours of play to understand the finer details. Those hours will certainly fly by.

    Multiplayer is Rocket League's priority, and it delivers.

Psyonix have put so much effort into creating this car football sequel and have delivered exactly what fans from the community have asked for. (And more!)

    The visuals are colourful, over the top and impressive.
    Physics and gameplay are perfect and the game plays just how it should.
    Loads of customisation items. Literally millions of different combinations.
    The online is very very stable.
    Various ways to play with friends including up to 4 player split screen.
    Cross play for PC and PS4.
    A season mode for offline play.
    Replay editor which also acts as a photo mode is a very welcome feature.
    Future support for the game confirmed, including DLC and free stadiums.
    Day one release on PlayStation Plus for free is a wonderful bonus and a very loyal move from Psyonix to their fans.

    This game is tons of fun and is the most fun I've had with a game in ages. You won't regret picking this up. Although you may never put it down.

It's one of those games you will play thinking ''meh must be good to spend some time'' but it's much more! The game is very good, fun and addictive, and the only thing that matters in the gameplay is your own skill

    Pros:
    Very Fun(seriously, never got so excited playing a game)
    Cheap(Free if you have PS Plus)
    Good amount of customization
    Even with high ping you can play it normally
    Even better with friends!(Also splitscreen coop!)
    Developers really care for the game
    Cons:
    Some stability issues
    No gameplay changing factor(some car models should have different stats)

There's not much bad to say about this game other than it lacks substance and the single player sucked with some of the dumbest AI I have seen in a long time...The multiplayer is what makes this game successful. It's one of the most fun and innovative gaming experiences I have had all year long. Though the lasting appeal of the game simply depends on how much the player enjoys it.… Expand

    The 0 score will come as a surprise because I love this game, my review is catered to Epic Games and their horrendous takeover of the gamesThe 0 score will come as a surprise because I love this game, my review is catered to Epic Games and their horrendous takeover of the games economy. Items that costed 2-3 keys (2-3 dollars) now cost 1200-1500 credits (basically 15 dollars)? It’s utterly ridiculous. I knew Epic Games was a joke that doesn’t care about consumers at all, I just hoped it wouldn’t become this bad on my favorite game. The prices need to be adjusted, that’s a minimum. But Epic knows the prices are ridiculous so they’ll change them after community outrage and then play like they’re the good guy and gain fan favor. If you love video games do not fall for this, Epic know it’s ridiculous, they did it on purpose just to fix it later. Epic have proved again for the 100th time that we are a bottom line, not a human with a heart and soul that got into videogames as a kid because we thought they were fun. The days of coming home from school and getting to play your favorite game without predatory business practices being shoved down your throat are over thanks to EA, Epic, Activision etc. This is the pinnacle of what videogames have become, we are all numbers to them, please boycott Epic games or at least their predatory practices… Expand
