Rocket league is by far the best multiplayer game I've ever experienced, not only as a player but also as a spectator as the eSports scene grows by the day. This game hits all the right notes whether you are a beginner or veteren gamer - it's simple and easy to get into, yet has such deep mechanics and a skill ceiling so high that I doubt anyone will ever reach it. People are still coming up with new unique ways to smash that ball around the field even after this game has been around for nearly 2 years.

I never thought I'd ever get into a sports game because I really don't enjoy games like Fifa, Madden and even racing games aren't really my cup of tea but rocket league is a different beast. This is a game that you can jump into with a bunch of friends and have loads of fun (couch co op or online) or you can play it by yourself and have just as much fun. It's a game that has brought the competitiveness out of me like no other game before it - I want to win so flipping badly that I've put over 1000 hours into it (including my PS4 time) trying to improve. I've never quite felt like I want to be the best this badly in my life. I literally haven't been able to stay away from this game for more than a week or two since the day I first played it.

To sum up the positives I'll say this; this game never gets old, you'll never feel like you have mastered it and it never stops being fun. It is extremely well polished, continually supported by the developers with regular updates and has an eSports scene that is growing exponentially. This is overall my favourite game of all time and I honestly don't think I could ever quit playing it as long as there are still people to play with.

I will mention a few negatives as well - no game is perfect. Rocket league has introduced a crate system in order for the developers to earn more money to funnel into the eSports scene. Luckily the crates only offer cosmetic items so there is no pay to win here, however these crate systems prey on certain personality types which I really dislike. Depending on where you live, you might run into drastic server issues. Personally I've never experienced this (living in New Zealand, Oceanic servers have been fine) however I've heard several reports of problems with the asian servers, middle eastern servers and south american servers. Since I don't live in those areas I can't give any more details but it is sad to see a great game like this not able to be enjoyed to its fullest by our friends in other areas of the world.

I would recommend this game to anyone whether you are a beginner or veteren gamer. The developers are very responsive to most things and regularly update the game. This game still has a very high playerbase and it isn't looking like that is going to change any time soon. If you aren't sure check out rocket league on twitch or youtube and if you enjoy watching it you'll definitely enjoy playing it!
