I’m going to be honest with you guys, when I first heard about Rocket League, I thought it sounded pretty stupid. Seriously, rocket-propelled car soccer sounded pretty insane, and even though I enjoy silly things as much as the next guy, it sounded like a bit too much for me. After having the chance to sit down and play the game, however, my opinion has shifted quite a bit. Rocket League is probably the most fun I’ve had in awhile, and is a refreshing experience for those of you who are tired of things like, Generic Zombie Game 43, or, Fund Me Harder 7: The Wallet Ravager. So, let’s talk about what sets Rocket League apart from the rest of the pack.
Alright, so now that you understand the basics, you might be wondering what exactly the game has to offer. At the time of writing, Rocket League has 3 modes you can play, training, to help you improve your skills, standard versus, featuring 1v1 to 4v4 team play, and ranked. In my experience, 4v4 is by far the most fun to play. Things get pretty insane with 8 cars on the field, even though you spend most of your time running into each other. Other than that, however, there isn't much else to do. Regardless of how many players are in a mode, the concept remains the same. The other big feature is car customization. As you play the game, you unlock more and more parts, car bodies, paint, and wheels. From devil horns, to sombreros, there's a ton of crazy stuff to unlock, and it really keeps you coming back for more.
In conclusion, I think it's pretty safe to say that this game is a blast, pun intended. A perfect example of just how good a game can be when handled by the right people, Rocket League blends fast-paced gameplay with a surprising level of depth to create a game that constantly keeps you coming back for more. If you're looking for a good time, I'd highly suggest this game. If you dislike fun, or maybe you're secretly Hitler, you should probably stay away.
P.S. It's okay if you don't like the game, you aren't Hitler.
