I can't call in a K9 unit after 15 kills.

Really fun game. If you are considering buying it, I would highly recommend it. It's one of those games in which once you beat it, you will probably lose interest, but during that single play through you will 100% have a gaming experience of a lifetime.

I bought rocket league last year out of pure curiosity. I saw the game, it looked fun, and I thought it might be something I wanted to put my time into. I have always really liked competitive games as they always give off this vibe of a sense of progression. For example in counterstrike, you maybe learn to aim better or your map knowledge and game sense increase. The idea of you always getting better is addicting, seeing your performance increasing every time I log on is the most satisfying feeling a game can give off to me. After a year of almost playing rocket league daily, I have come to realize that out of any competitive game I have ever played, Rocket league delivers this vibe on a god level tier.

What's interesting about Rocket league isn't how well it manages to deliver this vibe, but how it is able to do so.

Most competitive games present you with every tactic and and game play element from the beginning and how to do each. For example counter strike tells you what aiming is, how to aim, and where the best places to aim are. Simple right? When you watch a pro player play counterstrike you can watch them play and realize that "Hey these guys are pretty good."


However rocket league is the only competitive game I have ever seen when seeing an amazing play, rather then saying "Wow that was really good" I said "How did he do that?"

While rocket league does present you with every gameplay element and every move from the beginning, rocket league is a physics based game, meaning that it is up to the player to learn to manipulate the physics in their own way. Player that learn to manipulate the physics at the games best are going to be able to conquer those that do not.

As i mentioned earlier, rocket league gives off this amazing sense of progression. When I started out playing rocket league you will feel like you are playing soccer with a car. It felt stiff, the car was annoying to control, and it just didn't make sense to me on how fluid gameplay could be formed while controlling something as awkward and sluggish as a car.

Although as I played the game I realized how fast paced it was. I was zooming around, creating pin-point calculated shots, making precise passes to my teammates it felt great.

The only thing that annoyed me was that balls flying through the sky would make the game chaotic. I would need to wait long amounts of time for them to drop and they would really slow down the pace of the game.

Remember when I said learning physics in the game was important? I would eventually learn that by angling my boost by boosting into the ground, I was able to lift off the ground and fly into the sky!. Originally this was difficult and I had a low chance of actually hitting the ball, but after playing doing these aerial shots became as easy as breathing. Before I knew it, I would be dominating the sky.

In other competitive games, new players can do things, and better players can do the same things, but better.

In rocket league, more experienced can do things that new players can not do.

In my opinion, pulling off something that other other players in the match cannot do is absolutlyy amazing.

Just watch this
