Rocket League takes the one kind of sport that I haven't enjoyed playing since Mega Man Soccer and makes it into a fun time again. Sure on the surface this game is rather basic since it still just comes down to hitting a ball into a goal. Yet it manages to teach players how to play basic Soccer better than the most complicated tutorial. With the main focus of this game being 3 vs 3 you should quickly learn that playing defensively is vital to winning as much as being on all out offence. Up to this point in most sports games my focus was all about being aggressive with how I dealt with most situations so it is a nice change of pace to have a game that gives me a reason to switch up my tactics. Plus when you pull off a crazy shot on the goal it always feels awesome. The only real flaw this game has is that I wish it had more stuff in it. Maybe some variation in the arena or some more modes. In the end if you have ever played a arcade sports game before like Blitz or NBA Jam then this is the game for you.
