Rocket League is a multiplayer sports/driving game where you play 3v3 to try and score goals over 5 minutes of play. There are also options of 2v2, 4v4 and other unconventional modes such as Hoops and asymmetric futbol maps.

This game has a very high skill ceiling but is easily accessible to the pleb gamer like myself, and a lot of nuance behind what is essentially a very simple premise: score goals. When you screw up, it's pretty obvious that it's your own fault and the game isn't unfair on that front.

The music in menus are a very small part of the experience, but is quite chill nonetheless.

Psyonix also knows how to do good DLC. The entirety of it is purely aesthetic in nature, and there are plenty of free updates so none of the playing content is locked behind a paywall. The packages are small, morsel-like bites of additional customisation for your car, and as at 15/05/2016, I own 1 DLC currently.

Speaking of customisation, there are extensive options for paint jobs, decals, wheels, antennae, toppers, boosts which helps keep the aesthetics of the game fresh.

I am absolute ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ at the game, but it is fun in its own merit and would definitely recommend this game, though it must be noted that the majority of my playtime has been with mates over Skype, so YMMV.
