It has a good 6-10 hours of main gameplay if you buy it for cheap (less than $10 IMO). Then there's some mini-battles you can do to pass the time in terms of singleplayer. But let's be honest, this game is a social game to play against others, so I suggest getting a friend to also buy this game so you can compete.

The character selection is very attractive due to the well-known characters that you can choose from. And I'm not at all a Fighting game expert, but Injustice defnitely has enough movesets to keep fighting diverse.

However, the game is not very well optimized for PC, and I would only EVER get this game if I have a controller to plug in, since the keyboard controls are absolutely atrocious

Very good utility that does what it says it does. If you have more than one monitor, I would recommend this software right away. I especially like the taskbar features that make the taskbars on your other monitors less cluttered by only including the programs on that monitor. Also, the dual monitor wallpaper helper is great and makes my desktop look snazzy.

I would definitely get the free 30-day trial and see if you like it's features. Then I would wait for it to go on sale for $10 or less, as I feel like the $30 is NOT worth it.

Possibly the funnest game I have ever played. If I have 10 minutes of free time, I'll play some Rocket League.. If I have an hour of free time, I'll play some Rocket League. You'll never get bored of this game and each match is extremely exciting.

The graphics are superb. The gameplay, like I said above, is extremely exciting, chaotic, and never boring.

If you have multiple monitors, the game is very optimized for it, with no glitchy black screens or having to alt-tab to go to another monitor. Also, if you have a controller, the game recognizes it instantly and you have another (and arguably superior) form of playing it other than keyboard + mouse. No need to get the game on Xbox/PS4.

Each new update adds a grand amount of gameplay content like new maps, new game modes, and fun little features. The DLC policy is also pretty good, with the DLCs just being new car models that really don't give the player an advantage, they're just cosmetic. Arguably, they're a bit overpriced, but that's pretty much the biggest bad point I could give about this game.


The game is extremely fun for a casual player (like me), or for more competitive players (check out RL eSports).


The best part is that it is only $20; I'd happily pay $60 for the game, that's how good it is. A perfect 10/10 score IMO

Amazing game and quite underrated in my opinion.

It is like a mixture of TF2's basics with CS:GO's mechanics. The game is really fun and because of the very long rounds (they can usually last an hour, and a lot of the times, even more), you get drawn into the game. You want to help your team become victorious. It really does make it seem like in you're in some war, and I sometimes feel guilty when I have to stop playing, because I'm "deserting" my side.

Now, if you have played it before, or you are sure that you'll like the game, it is definitely worth it. But if you're not sure if you'll like it or not, I suggest waiting until it is on sale for under $5. I got the game when the Vallve Collection Pack was going for $25, and I don't regret it from all the "hidden gems" I got that I normally wouldn't buy.

The only disappointing thing is how there's a lack of a big community still in the game, but you'll always find a few highly dedicated servers with great people and features.
Because of all this, I give it a 9/10

Very promising game but an extremely disappointing ending. SPOILERS: The game advertises as a game that revolves around choice-making, with it seeming that your actions (aka words leading to actions) will affect the ending. But from what I read and from personal experience, it always ends with Emily ending up with Brad. This completely ruins the game as there is no effect to your actions. From what I've seen, the only major effect within actions is whether you hook up with Emily or not. The game even gives you hope that you can form a relationship by giving you options to say things like "Do you miss me?" but every time, "you" end up deleting what you picked to say, and ask some other question.

The game is very good other than the ending. But when the major "goal/incentive of the game" is to form a relationship with Emily and you can't even do that, it really does obscure the pros of this game.

I'll change my review if there are changes to the ending possibilities or I'm proven wrong

4/10

This game is INCREDIBLY addicting. After you play a match, you want to play the next one, to see your team do well. Then after that one, you want to play the next one. You can choose so many ways of playing. Do you want to start with Real Madrid and try to win 5 Champions Leagues in a row? Or do you want to try to keep Newcastle from being relegated? Or maybe you want to get Parma back to Serie A? Or maybe you want to start with a team in Estonia and make that league the best in the world!? You can do (or at least attempt to do) all of that!

One thing about this game is that it is the most frustrating thing I've ever played. You can be winning 2-0 in the 89th minute an then see the opposing team score 2 penalty kicks in the 90th minute. The game is that unpredictable.

You'll be WOWed by the vast and immense amount of database informaton there is in the game. But what if your hungry for the most obsecure of leagues? You can always look in the workshop for amazing databases. For example, I'm playign right now in a custom league that puts all top teams in one league.

Overall, I give the game a 9.5/10 because sometimes if you're team goes on a bad run, it can get you (it got me) extremely discourage to play. I was playing as Chelsea ina new season after winning the Champions League and I lost against Burnley after some BS that I don't remember... So I took a break and just couldn't see myself getting back to it for a while. But now I'm back into the game but with a different save and as addicted as I used to be. Everything else about the game is pretty much perfect.
