My notes on: Rocket League

Rocket League

Developer: Psyonix

Publisher: Psyonix

-I hardly ever pay full price for a game on Steam. This might have actually been the third after Bioshock Infinite and Cities: Skylines. And no regrets, I have constantly come back to this game over and over again. I’ve played this even more than Splatoon. I guess it’s just because over time as I have taken breaks from playing it’s much easier to come back to because I understand the rules of football but Splatoon has changes so much in a short time.

-Many describe this game as just car soccer but it adds the physical element and walls of ice hockey.

-Super fun online, although when playing ranked matches it’s thrustrating when players forfeit a game with just a minute or so to go. I think that players leaving matches deserve a harder punishment. I’m also quite annoyed that before season 1 started my 2vs2 rating was over 500 but now I’m stuck at just above 200.

-It’s just as fun against bots. Pro tip though you can score against easy bots from the kick off and it works every time. Medium bots are a good challenge.

-Practice and Season modes are perfect for honing your skills for online games. It’s just that Season mode doesn’t unlock anything special itself so if you beat it once there isn’t any reason to go back. It’s good at least that you get the same amount of XP in online and offline games.

-Overall the game looks gorgeous, the grass looks really good.

-All cars have tons of paint jobs, rims, hats and flags.

-I actually have a great story that I went to ask on the steam forums whether the devs will add more flags. I was instructed to go to the devs own forums and wrote on a thread and so I got the Estonian flag added to the game. Once it was added I haven’t changed flags since.

But this is certainly a game that will rank highly on my GOTY list.
